The Watercraft that Perfectly Blends the Catamaran, Hydrofoil, and JetSki
Something is appealing to writing about watercraft when you live in an environment in the throws of winter. Call it an escape or wishful thinking, but warm weather and the thrill of speed on the ocean is the perfect tease. Imagine soaring over the water’s surface on a silent, sleek, eco-friendly craft that combines a jet bike's agility with a catamaran's stability. Enter the Overboat 100F by Neocean — a cutting-edge electric watercraft redefining what’s possible in water sports. With its innovative design and sustainable philosophy, this watercraft promises adventure and a glimpse into the future of marine recreation.
Whether you’re a water sports enthusiast, a tech-savvy adventurer, or passionate about sustainable travel, the Overboat 100F is an exciting proposition. Read on as we explore how this hydrofoil-powered marvel reshapes how we experience the water.
A New Frontier in Water Sports Innovation
Gone are the days of noisy jet skis and fuel-hungry speedboats. (Don’t worry; they are still available.) It is just important to point out that the water sports industry is undergoing a quiet revolution — literally. Thanks to electric propulsion and hydrofoil technology advancements, traditional watercraft are replaced by more peaceful, efficient, and environmentally conscious alternatives.
Enter Neocean's Overboat 100F Electric Hydrofoil
Neocean’s Overboat 100F electric hydrofoil combines the best of both worlds — a nimble jet bike and a sturdy catamaran base. Available in two sizes — the single-seater Overboat 100F (and the two-seater Overboat 150F) — this watercraft offers unparalleled balance, ease of use, and, most notably, a tranquil ride, thanks to its electric drive system.
With this innovative design, Neocean has tailored the Overboat 100F to meet the needs of adventure lovers who crave thrilling yet sustainable on-water experiences.
Breaking Down the Features and Benefits
The Overboat 100F is more than just electric propulsion — it’s an engineering marvel. Below, we’ll look at the features that make it a standout in its class.
1. Electric Drive for Silent Speed
At the heart of the Overboat F is its efficient 4.5kW (50V) electric motor, eliminating the noise, fumes, and maintenance headaches often associated with traditional gas-powered watercraft. Hop aboard, twist the throttle, and you’ll be gliding smoothly across the water at impressive speeds — all while leaving nature undisturbed.
Speaking of speeds, the Overboat 100F has a top speed of 15 knots (17mph), which isn’t lightning fast by any means, but it’s plenty for a leisurely cruise or a day of water sports. Plus, with its electric drive, you can enjoy these speeds without any added noise pollution. I’m told the silent ride is otherworldly. Three removable (5.7kwh) batteries power the 15 knots of speed to give you a total runtime of 2 hours. The fact these are swappable means you could potentially ride all day, although batteries can be expensive.
2. Hydrofoil Technology for Effortless Glide
Thanks to its three retractable hydrofoils, the Overboat F lifts above the water, reducing drag and delivering a thrilling yet stable ride. This cutting-edge feature ensures efficiency and smooth performance, even at higher speeds.
3. Dual-Hull Stability
The Overboat F’s catamaran-style poly-fiberglass hulls deliver unmatched stability, even in choppy waters. Whether cruising solo or tandem with the 150F, you’ll feel secure and in control.
4. Thoughtful Design and Convenience
The craft comes equipped with:
A central seating area with marine flooring that doubles as a mini deck.
An electric steering wheel and a digital display provide an intuitive user experience.
A hidden cubby area that serves as the perfect storage spot for your gear.
Every element has been thoughtfully crafted to maximize comfort, functionality, and enjoyment.
5. Compact and Portable
Unlike many traditional watercraft, the Overboat 100F is designed to be portable. Its streamlined design makes transporting, launching, and storing easy, offering ultimate convenience.
6. Drone Mode
Drone Mode is a feature you don’t typically see on a personal watercraft. With the optional remote control, the 100F can be operated from a dock or another boat. (A Possible rescue mission?)
Sustainability Meets Adventure
One of the Overboat 100F's most compelling aspects is its sustainability. With environmental consciousness rising, Neocean has committed to responsible design.
Here’s how:
Zero Carbon Footprint
The Overboat 100F’s electric propulsion eliminates harmful emissions, making it eco-friendly for exploring waterways.
Noise-Free Exploration

Minimal Water Impact
As I have repeatedly written, the hydrofoil design minimizes wake, ensuring less disturbance to marine environments than traditional watercraft.
For water sports enthusiasts who want to minimize their ecological impact, the Overboat 100F offers a guilt-free way to connect with nature.
