Artemis Technologies has introduced a groundbreaking advancement in sustainable transport with the launch of the Artemis EF-12 Escape, a 100% electric luxury water taxi that combines eco-conscious innovation with opulent comfort. Designed to redefine waterborne travel, this vessel offers an experience as gentle on the environment as it is luxurious for its passengers.
The Artemis EF-12 Escape is engineered with a focus on sustainability, emitting zero operational emissions and producing a reduced wake to protect shorelines and marine life. This sleek vessel epitomizes responsible travel, crafted for exploring some of the world’s most scenic and sensitive waterways.
"This is more than just a mode of transport—it’s a game-changer in waterborne mobility," says Dr. Iain Percy, CEO of Artemis Technologies. "The EF-12 Escape offers cities and resorts a dynamic, eco-friendly way for people to get from A to B, providing an exciting new option for guests to explore destinations while minimizing their carbon footprint."
At the heart of this luxurious water taxi is the revolutionary Artemis eFoiler® system, allowing the EF-12 Escape to rise above the water, significantly reducing wave impact for an ultra-smooth and quiet ride. The spacious, refined cabin can accommodate up to 12 passengers, with expansive windows offering panoramic views, creating an oasis of calm and sophistication.
Efficiency is a key feature of the EF-12 Escape. Capable of reaching a top speed of 30 knots and covering up to 52 nautical miles on a single charge, this luxury water taxi combines elegance with practicality. The ultra-fast charging capability, which fully recharges the vessel in under 60 minutes, means passengers are always ready for their next adventure.
"The Artemis EF-12 Escape presents a unique opportunity for cities and resorts to tap into their waterways like never before," Dr. Percy adds. "Whether navigating urban water environments or island-hopping, this vessel provides a truly unforgettable experience."
Available now for order, the Artemis EF-12 Escape can be customized to meet the needs of diverse destinations and operations. From enhancing a resort’s fleet to offering a sophisticated solution for urban transport, this all-electric water taxi promises an unparalleled travel experience.
