Aquabus range: solar electric passengers boats
Description
Our solar electric boats are intended for passenger transportation, for professionals who care about the environment!
Our Aquabus make it possible for tourist operators and public transport companies to offer their customers a clean and quiet navigation, free from CO2 emissions, noise and vibrations. Our solar boats are fitted with batteries that have an autonomy of about 8 hours at cruising speed; this autonomy can be extended through options like new generation batteries (Lithium) or even an hybrid kit.

SeaCleaner range: the first "zero emission" boats to clean ports and swimming areas
Description
Electric boat powered by solar energy and remote controlled crafts to remove floating garbage in port and bathing areas
With over 20 years experience in the solar electric boats for passenger transport and aware of the increasing floating waste, particularly in port or bathing areas, Grove Boats launches a cleaning boat running on electrical energy supplied by the sun, in short a "clean, cleaning boat". While navigating in a given area, this unit collects floating waste (plastics, polystyrene, algae, wood ...) and stores it on board in a dedicated container. A mechanism for the skimming of hydrocarbons is available as an option. The standard construction is made of aluminum and the option of environmentally friendly materials (flax hulls & sandwich cork) makes the process "clean boat" coherent as a whole.
