The C-40E was designed by a rowing coach. No fumes alongside your athletes. No engine noise drowning out your voice. Just precise, silent presence on the water.
Electric silence. 360° pod drives for precise positioning in the shallows. A platform that lets you focus entirely on the water.
Solid-state battery packs from Donut Lab — the same cell technology used in Verge motorcycles — paired with dual 10 kW electric drives.
Every element of the C-40E was designed around the demands of elite coaching and precision fishing — not adapted from an existing hull. Four solid-state battery packs, fixed hydrofoil assist, and an integrated solar canopy are original engineering decisions.

The catamaran hull geometry maximises deck area and lateral stability. Fixed hydrofoil assist reduces drag at speed and improves ride quality in chop, while four solid-state battery packs deliver extended range across a full day of coaching or fishing.
View full specificationA petrol coaching launch doesn't just cost more to run — it requires a full engine replacement every 7–10 years at ~$8,000, plus annual servicing, fuel and consumables. The numbers make the case before you step aboard.
Ventus exists because the waterways our athletes and anglers depend on deserve better than exhaust fumes and oil. Every boat we build is a commitment — to cleaner water, to elite performance, and to the next generation who'll compete on it.
Five percent of every Ventus sale goes directly to environmental protection and water quality education. We partner with programmes that protect the rivers, lakes and waterways our community trains and fishes on — because an electric drivetrain alone isn't enough.
We work directly with elite rowing programmes to support athletes in their training — not just sell them equipment. Pilot partners gain access to the Ventus team, data from the boat, and a product that evolves around how the best athletes in the world actually train.
Every petrol coaching launch replaced by a Ventus C-40E removes thousands of litres of fuel consumption from waterways each season. No exhaust. No oil. No noise. Just the sound of athletes working — which is exactly how it should be.
"The water doesn't care how fast your engine is. It cares how you treat it."Ventus — Electric Launch
We're placing the C-40E with a select group of university rowing programmes and committed anglers for the 2026 season. Pilot partners receive preferred pricing, direct engineering access, and the opportunity to shape the production specification.
Head coach, athletic director, or serious angler — we'd like to hear from you.
