About the Voltari 260

Voltari 260E is a hand-built electric performance boat based on a 24-degree carbon-fibre deep-V hull. A single high-output motor drives a trimmable dual-propeller outdrive, producing a claimed 550 kW peak and 1,007 lb-ft of torque. The low machinery noise, instant response and large swim platform suit fast day trips, while twin 19-inch helm displays centralize vessel and navigation data. Voltari also offers related tender and commercial versions, so listings should distinguish the 260E's 28 ft 2 in leisure hull from the 28 ft 11 in 260T/T and Patrol configurations. The boat is heavy despite its carbon structure because it carries a 168 kWh battery and robust performance hardware. This is a premium high-speed craft whose usable range changes dramatically between low-wake displacement operation and sustained planing speeds.

Best For

Performance-boat owners seeking electric acceleration
Coastal day trips with reliable dock charging
Buyers wanting a customizable carbon-fibre build

Performance in Context

Voltari now states over 55 mph, more than 90 miles at low-wake speed and more than 30 miles at an average 30 mph. Those two range figures describe very different duty cycles. Wind, waves, payload, trim, fouling and reserve affect results; high-speed owners should plan around the 30 mph figure, not the low-wake maximum.

Battery and Charging

The 260E uses a 168 kWh lithium-ion pack and supports 220 V CCS charging according to the current specification sheet. Voltari's commercial material cites 10-90% in about 45 minutes with a fast charger, but buyers should confirm whether the same hardware and rate apply to their 260E build, plus the required shore service and AC fallback time.

Availability and Pricing

Voltari hand-builds each 260E to order. The current product page does not display a universal base price, so the former US$450,000 figure is not retained as verified. Request a quote covering equipment, finish, charger, delivery, commissioning and the applicable service and warranty package.
