A European initiative
ElectricMarine.eu — groundwork for the electric transition on Europe's waters, built in the open, ahead of mandates and programmes.
Europe has begun to move. The Electrification Action Plan names ports as energy hubs. The revision of the alternative fuels rules opens the door to charging on the waterside. The boating industry's own roadmap calls for data, coordination and infrastructure that is ready before the boats arrive.
We believe this transition matters enough to deserve working groundwork today — not because institutions are absent, but because some work is significant enough to begin without being asked.
So we began — in the open, and in the service of everyone who will one day plug a boat into a European harbour.
Everything the initiative builds is public-interest infrastructure: knowledge that lowers the cost of going electric — for boaters, for marinas, for builders.
Through Nauteria, the initiative is developing a platform documenting every electric leisure boat on the European market and the builder behind it — specifications, range, charging needs — with the ambition of being readable in every language of Europe. Choosing electric should never fail on missing information.
electricyachtmarket.comelectricboatsonline.comA unified registry of Europe's yacht harbours and marinas — coastal and inland — is already in active development: 22,430 georeferenced locations across 57 countries, drawn from public sources, deduplicated and enriched record by record. On top of it: the first map of electrified marinas, showing where a boat can actually charge today.
Active — figures from August 2026A working team is assembling the information package a marina needs to electrify: European and national funding routes, real installation costs, and build options from one AC point to dockside fast charging. The goal: no marina should abandon electrification because nobody explained how to pay for it.
Research underwayThe industry estimates 10,000–20,000 marinas in Europe and calls for coordinated data. This is what our registry can already show — and what it reveals about how early we are.
Two thirds of them in just two countries. That number is the entire distance between today and electric boating at scale — and it is exactly why this work is worth doing now.
The initiative is self-started — but it is not closed. Marinas that want to appear on the map, builders of electric boats, industry associations, researchers and public institutions: the registry, the platform and the funding work are open for cooperation.
If your work touches the electric transition on the water, we would like to hear from you.
