Deep Blue is a huge leap for the German manufacturer, which has quietly (in every way) been gaining a following in the United States with a line of kicker-size electric propulsion motors up to 4kW (matching the thrust of a 9.9-hp gasoline outboard) that are attractive for use on restricted lakes and for light-duty auxiliary power. The new 60kW (80-hp) Deep Blue is aimed at the commercial market, but the firm is also working with several pleasure-boat builders. The company had the motor rigged on a flats boat and a Zodiac inflatable at Miami.
You don't need a licence, and you don't even have to use sails. Just put the engines in forward, and off you go! You need to have some boating experience under your belt, but even if you don't, you can book now and work on getting some experience before you arrive for your holiday. We can also offer some on-water training to build your confidence, we call that a 'sail guide'. Just ask us!
