Lora Klodney recently wrote an article on cnbc.com spotlighting the launch of a new premium wake sport model by EV boat maker Arc, priced at $258,000.

Designed especially for wake sports enthusiasts, the Arc Sport follows the success of its predecessor, the Arc One, a limited-edition luxury cruiser.

While the startup only churned out a handful of Arc Ones, they’re revving up for continuous production of the Arc Sport.

This sleek 23-foot beauty can fit up to 15 people, boasting a hefty battery that’ll keep you cruising for four to six hours straight at a top speed of 40 miles per hour.

Priced to compete with the big boys like Nautique, MasterCraft, and Malibu, Arc is leading the charge alongside other innovative startups like GM-backed Pure Watercraft and X Shore out of Stockholm.

Arc’s electric model offers a breath of fresh air, tackling noise pollution, smog, and water contamination head-on.

Mitch Lee, Arc’s co-founder and CEO, drew inspiration from his own experiences on the water, determined to swap out diesel fumes for the pure thrill of electric power.
