X Shore Eelex 8000

30 KNOTS – 100 NM RANGE

This 2023 model X Shore Eelex 8000 is one of the most recognizable fully electric boats on the market—a premium 8-meter day cruiser designed to combine performance, sustainability, and Scandinavian minimalism.

Strengths:

✔ Completely silent and emission-free

✔ High-end Scandinavian design

✔ Strong torque and usable performance

✔ Unique lifestyle/brand appeal

✔ Lower maintenance vs combustion engines

The X Shore Eelex 8000 isn’t just a boat—it’s a shift in boating philosophy.

It’s best suited for owners who:

• Cruise shorter distances (like Norwegian coastlines, fjords, archipelagos)
• Value quietness, design, and sustainability
• Want a modern, tech-driven boating experience

Present owner got the boat as trade-in and wants to sell. The boat is currently in Istanbul, Turkey.

The Eelex 8000 is built around a simple idea: Replace the traditional combustion engine boat with a clean, silent, high-performance electric alternative.

• 100% electric propulsion (no fuel, no exhaust)
• Near-silent operation
• Strong focus on low environmental impact materials and design

It’s often compared to a “Tesla of the sea” due to its tech-forward approach and zero-emission philosophy.

Here are the essential numbers that define the boat:

• Length: 8.0 m (26 ft)
• Beam: 2.6 m
• Motor: ~170 kW electric (≈ 230 hp equivalent)
• Battery: 126 kWh lithium-ion
• Top speed: ~30 knots
• Cruising speed: ~20 knots
• Range: up to ~100 nautical miles (low speed)

Charging:

• Standard: ~5–8 hours
• Fast charge: ~1 hour (20–80%)

The Eelex delivers a very different feel compared to diesel or petrol boats:

Instant electric torque

• Strong acceleration (0–20 knots in ~4 seconds)
• Smooth, vibration-free ride

Silent cruising

• The loudest sound is often water against the hull, not the motor
• Ideal for fjords, archipelagos, and nature cruising

Real-world usage

• Best efficiency around 20 knots cruising
• Range drops significantly at higher speeds (typical for electric boats)

The Eelex is very software-driven:

• Large touchscreen helm interface
• App integration (monitoring, control, updates)
• Over-the-air software updates (like EVs)
• Minimal mechanical complexity → fewer moving parts

Important notice:

The Swedish company X Shore filed for bankruptcy in January 2026. The problem was not interest in the boat, as it was huge. The challenge was to build these boats at a scale and handling all the high-tech challenges. A Norwegian investor has acquired parts of the company and plan to restart production.
