Could RAD 40 fit your operation?

Not every vessel needs the same propulsion solution. And moving towards electric doesn’t have to mean changing an entire fleet at once.

A more useful starting point is looking at how individual vessels are actually used. Their routes, duty cycles, time at base and operational requirements can help identify where electric propulsion could best fit.

So, rather than asking “When could our whole operation go electric?”, ask:

“Which parts of our operation are a good fit for electric right now?”

Investing in electric propulsion isn’t simply a question of whether to buy. It’s about deciding where your capital can work hardest.

For some operators, purchasing outright is the right approach. For others, leasing provides the flexibility to access the capability they need today while spreading the investment and keeping capital available for wider operational priorities.

For harbour authorities, commercial marine organisations, aquaculture operators, marinas and clubs, that flexibility can make electrification part of a broader investment strategy rather than a competing capital priority.

The question isn’t just whether to invest in electric propulsion. It’s how that investment best fits your operation.

Harbour authorities need technology that works in the real world.

During trials aboard the RIBCRAFT Pro 480, Senior Harbour Officer Greg Pachany experienced the precision and control delivered by the RAD 40's integrated 180° steering in challenging harbour environments.

Now, accessing that capability will become even more achievable for commercial operators, with a flexible leasing option designed to lower the barrier to adoption.

22/09/2026

Professional-grade electric propulsion is now more accessible.

RAD 40 is now available through a flexible leasing model from £995, including battery and plug and play installation.*

Designed for harbour authorities, sailing and rowing clubs, aquaculture operators, marinas and commercial marine organisations, the new leasing option provides a lower-cost route into vessel electrification without the upfront investment traditionally associated with adopting new technology.

Access the capability you need, on terms that work for your budget.

*UK availability initially. T&Cs apply.

The most rewarding projects are the ones that help bring ambitious ideas to life.

Nearly a year on from its launch, the Pangolin Voyager remains a great example of what's possible when innovative vessel design is combined with the right technology partner.

Powered by four RAD 40 outboards, Africa's first solar-powered, all-aluminium houseboat was designed to offer a more immersive wildlife experience, allowing guests to get closer to nature with minimal disturbance.

We're proud to have played a part in helping Pangolin Photo Safaris turn that vision into a reality.

Thoughtful engineering is often found in the details.

With a focus on performance, efficiency and contemporary design, the RAD 40 has been created to deliver a seamless experience on the water while complementing the vessels it powers.

Built with purpose. Designed with pride.

Here's a look at what the team has been up to this month at RAD.

July highlights:
> Took part in the SWRDSC at BattleLab
> Secured £4.4 million in funding to accelerate the commercialisation of our autonomous marine technologies
> Paddy and Rudi commissioned two patrol vessels in Athens, Greece
> Welcomed Sean Wilson as US Sales Manager to support our expansion in the region

Thanks to everyone across the team for another busy and successful month.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout August.

What if protecting our seas started with making them quieter?

This , we're reflecting on the role technology can play in supporting healthier marine environments.

Working alongside , we supported research comparing a conventional outboard with a RAD electric outboard. The findings highlighted the potential for electric propulsion to significantly reduce underwater noise, helping to lessen disturbance beneath the surface.

At RAD, we're proud to be developing propulsion systems that don't just improve how vessels move through the water, but how they interact with the environment around them.

If you're exploring ways to reduce your fleet's impact above and below the waterline, we'd love to start the conversation. Get in touch via the link in our bio.

Just over six months ago, we opened RAD's US division in Charleston, South Carolina 🇺🇸

In a short space of time, the team has helped strengthen our presence across North America, supporting customers and accelerating the adoption of next-generation electric marine propulsion.

As we continue to grow, we're delighted to welcome Sean Wilson to the team as Sales Manager.

Sean's appointment marks another exciting step in our US journey as we continue to expand our reach and support the transition to cleaner, more efficient marine propulsion.

Welcome aboard, Sean. We're looking forward to seeing the impact you'll make as we continue to grow across the US market.

That's a wrap on another successful month for RAD!

Here are a few highlights from the past month:
> Todd Duncan took to the stage at Advanced Maritime Technology Expo & Conference to discuss what closes the deal on maritime electrification
> Golden Arrow Marine showcased its Autonomous Water Craft at Seawork, powered by AXON.
> Our CEO, Dan Hook, represented RAD at Seawork 2026, speaking at the "Propulsion in Practice: Matching Systems to Operations" panel.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout July.
