The data finding: only 44% publish a starting price, and the single most common motor rating is exactly 6 kW \u2014 the Swiss licence-free limit.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>FORT LAUDERDALE, FL &#8211; October 26, 2026 &#8211;<\/strong>&nbsp;<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/electricboatsonline.com\">electricboatsonline.com<\/a>, the European catalogue of electric and hybrid-electric boats under 8.53 metres (28 feet), today published the <em>Small Electric Boat Report 2026<\/em> &mdash; a verified, builder-by-builder count of the segment where electric boating actually happens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The report finds <strong>197 production models from 92 verified builders across 21 countries<\/strong>, every specification read from the builder&#8217;s own published materials and nothing estimated. The headline findings:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>Only 44% of models publish a starting price<\/strong> at all. For those that do, the entry tier begins at &euro;9,890 and the median published starting price is &euro;51,600.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The single most common motor rating in the segment is exactly 6 kW<\/strong> &mdash; the Swiss licence-free limit &mdash; on 17 models. In this segment the choice of motor power is a licensing decision as much as an engineering one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>39% of models with a published motor figure sit under Germany&#8217;s 7.5 kW threshold<\/strong> &mdash; the one country in Europe where the licence-free limit for electric is <em>lower<\/em> than for combustion. 63% fit Italy&#8217;s 30 kW band; the Netherlands and Belgium use a different test entirely (no power limit, licence-free when the boat cannot exceed 20 km\/h, which speed-limited electric boats pass by design).<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Netherlands leads production<\/strong> with 13 verified builders and 46 models &mdash; the sloep tradition translating directly into electric drive. Austria (6 builders \/ 22 models) and Poland (6 \/ 21) follow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>74 verified award results<\/strong> have been issued to 44 models in this segment by independent juries, including 21 wins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The report cross-references the catalogue with the official licence-free power limits of 27 European countries &mdash; read directly from national waterway authorities, ministries and legal gazettes &mdash; in a table no boating magazine has previously printed. It is available at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/electricboatsonline.com\/guides\/small-electric-boat-report\">electricboatsonline.com\/guides\/small-electric-boat-report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Why this exists<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Industry forecasts for the European electric boat market exist, and most of them disagree with each other by a factor of five,&#8221; said Damyan Zagorski, founder of Nauteria, which operates electricboatsonline.com. &#8220;What has been missing is a verified count &mdash; one hull at a time, with the publication rates stated honestly. Where a builder publishes no price, our catalogue publishes no price. That gap is itself the finding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>About electricboatsonline.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">electricboatsonline.com is the English-language entry point to Europe&#8217;s largest independent catalogue of production electric and hybrid-electric boats under 8.53 m. The catalogue serves 25 European markets, each in its own language, with every builder verified against company registers or the yard&#8217;s own site before publication. The site is operated by Nauteria &mdash; the umbrella brand behind the Electric Boats and Electric Yachts networks of local-language domains &mdash; and takes no advertising from the builders it lists; it is read-first, with revenue coming from manufacturer listings and qualified-lead packages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\"><span style='font-size:18px !important'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/electricboatsonline.com_197418.html\">Nauteria<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Damyan Zagorski<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=europes-small-electric-boat-market-counts-197-models-only-44-publish-a-price\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Fort Lauderdale<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> FL<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/electricboatsonline.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/electricboatsonline.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=europes-small-electric-boat-market-counts-197-models-only-44-publish-a-price\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Map of Europe showing verified small electric boat builders and models per country: 92 builders \/ 197 models under 8.53 m across 21 countries.
