While most boats on the water today are powered by internal combustion engines that rely on diesel or petrol fuels, many of us forget boats can also be powered by electricity. Much like an electric car, electric boating reduces the level of Co2 emission, which in turns mean cleaner air and a much quieter and more pleasant boating experience altogether.

Here in Our Green Shop, the challenge of a greener boating experience has been met brilliantly by our electric engine supplier Torqeedo. Established in 2005, Torqeedo has been engineering and introducing industry first designs to create a new way boating.

As World Ocean Day approaches, we are focusing on sustainable boating. To help make your boating adventure truly green, we’ll give you a bonus of 20,000 Green Points when you buy a Torqeedo motor with us!*

If you’re not sure about which engine would best suit your boating needs, don’t worry; visit  Torqeedo at this year’s Beale Park Boat Show** and get your free spin on the water (and it’s also a lovely day out for the family!)
