About the SeaDog

SeaDog is Vita Power's compact commercial RIB for ports, marinas and support work. The 5.8 m platform uses Vita's V150 electric powertrain and is shaped around predictable short routes, repeated low-speed operation and rapid charging between shifts. Instant torque helps with close-quarters manoeuvring, while the RIB format provides a forgiving working edge for coming alongside other boats. Vita states 20 knots at cruise and 30 knots maximum, making the boat capable of faster response work when needed. Its strongest endurance claim—up to ten hours—applies to the reduced speeds typical of port activity, not continuous 20-knot travel. The official page does not currently publish passenger capacity, battery energy, weight or retail price, so commercial buyers should request a duty-cycle simulation and complete build specification rather than relying on older third-party numbers.

Best For

Ports and marinas with frequent short missions
Commercial operators able to install DC charging
Yacht and event support requiring quiet close-quarters operation

Performance in Context

Vita lists a 20-knot cruise and 30-knot maximum. Up to ten hours of use is claimed only at reduced port-operating speeds. Range and shift duration depend on speed, payload, wind, current, temperature and idle time. Operators should model their actual route and reserve requirements before procurement.

Battery and Charging

Vita states a one-hour DC charge and says a 30-70% top-up can take as little as 30 minutes. The displayed page does not give battery capacity or AC charge time. Confirm charger power, connector, grid upgrade, thermal limits and whether opportunity charging fits the planned shift schedule.

Availability and Pricing

SeaDog remains a current Vita commercial product sold by inquiry. The older £95,000 and 63 kWh entries are not shown on Vita's current page and have been removed from the verified fields. Request pricing that includes seating, console, commercial coding, charger, delivery, training and support.
