About the Sun Cruiser 22

The Sun Cruiser 22 is one of Duffy's established electric harbour cruisers, combining seating for twelve with a Surrey top and Duff-Eze window enclosure. Its 48 V system uses Duffy's Power Rudder drive, a solid-state controller and a weed-resistant composite propeller. Traditional lead-acid equipment comprises sixteen 6 V batteries, while a lithium upgrade appears on the 2025 options sheet. The interior includes a movable Corian table, forward bar, bottle storage, under-seat lockers, shore-powered outlet and Bluetooth audio. Duffy's current main sales page now promotes the Sun Cruiser 23 rather than the 22, although a 2025 equipment sheet and online 22 configurator remain accessible. The listing is therefore best treated as a recently superseded model with strong used-market relevance, not assumed to be the factory's primary current new-boat offer.

Performance in Context

Legacy specifications commonly cite about six mph and long low-speed runtime, but the current 2025 equipment sheet does not publish a performance table. Runtime depends on lead-acid versus lithium battery choice, age, load, wind and throttle. Sea-trial and battery testing matter on a used example.

Battery and Charging

Standard documentation shows sixteen 6 V deep-cycle batteries, a 48 V system and Victron charger/inverter using 120 V AC shore power. A lithium upgrade was offered. Confirm battery chemistry, installation date, usable capacity and charger compatibility on the individual boat.

Availability and Pricing

Duffy's current buy page features a Sun Cruiser 23 successor, while the 22 remains visible in equipment documents, the configurator and pre-owned inventory. The online builder has shown $68,900, but buyers should confirm whether a new build is still accepted. Used prices vary with year and battery condition.
