Built for MN Weather
The windows can zip up and down quickly to weatherproof your outing. How often do you wish you had an extra layer on an MN boat ride?
Eco-Friendly
Our ships are all-electric, and certified zero emissions, which is good for the health of the lake. It’s a party on the water, but not something that intrudes upon it. It also amplifies the experience by eliminating the smell and noise from the engine. Sailboat vibes, with the control of a steering wheel.
Easy Vibes
If you can drive a golf cart, you can drive our boats. Even if you’ve never been on a boat before, you’ll be an expert in no time. Plus, besides being easy to drive, they’re even easier to access. Docked at the Port of Excelsior, (2 Water St.), you can effortlessly find parking, as well as food and drinks to bring aboard.
Chill Vibes
Life moves fast...relaxing shouldn’t have to. In a world of speed and instant gratification, Electric Shores’ boats are slow by design. At a cool 6 miles per hour, you have the freedom to relax completely into the moment, either connecting with friends and family, or just vibing with water. Ditch the show and embrace the slow.
The Vibe
It's easier to experience instead of explain, as these boats have a vibe completely unique to themselves. The gallery below will give you a good idea, but the best way to catch it is to just get on one.
