that was unveiled in 2021, represents the future of recreational boating, according to the L.A. start-up. The 23-footer combines aerospace engineering, EV technology, and innovative software for quiet, emissions-free cruising. The Sport is also faster, smarter, more reliable, easier to use, and cheaper to operate than traditional diesel-powered wakeboats, Arc claims.
The fiberglass speed machine is equipped with an integrated 226 kWh battery that delivers enough green power for “all-day adventure.” Arc says its development team often returns from three to four hours of surfing with 50 percent battery left, for example. In general, seafarers can expect four to six hours of ride time. The Sport also packs an electric motor capable of churning out 570 horses and more than double the torque of most premium wakeboats, according to Arc.
With a beam of just over eight feet, the Sport can comfortably accommodate up to 15 seafarers. The helm features two modern displays that allow you to view video recaps and stats or blast music through the JL Audio speakers. The in-house software also regularly receives over-the-air updates to keep it at the bleeding edge.
The best part is you can put the Arc Sport to the test yourself. Arc is taking the boat on a nationwide tour that begins in Austin, Texas today. You can sign up for a demoRachel Cormack is a digital editor at Robb Report.
