Tesla of the wakeboarding world making waves

Super Air Nautique GS22E

Oct 28, 2021

The Super Air Nautique GS22E wakesurfing boat powered by Ingenity Electric will be at boat shows in Germany and the United States this fall.

Ingenity’s electric Super Air Nautique GS22E has been named to WIRED Magazine’s 2021 list of the world’s ultimate electric rides. WIRED, a technology-based magazine recognized Ingenity among a list of sustainable transport machines built for land, sea, or air. The magazine called the GS22E the “Tesla of the wakeboarding world.”

With 124 kW of stored energy, the company claims the Ingenity battery allows for two to three hours of typical watersports use and can be recharged in as little as 90 minutes. It has cells from top tier suppliers and the latest in cooling and safety technology. The battery management system is designed for thousands of cycles, which would equate to many years of use powering a boat. Just one small catch – according to the website, the Super Air Nautique GS22E carries a USD$299K price tag.

They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
