Electro-Mariner Corp. Announces Bay to Bay Crossing, Ocean Debut for Pre-Prototype, all Solar-Electric Watercraft

San Diego, CALIFORNIA (September 26, 2009) Electro-Mariner Corp. (EMC) announces its ocean debut for their all solar-electric pre-prototype watercraft, by conducting a bay to bay crossing, (Mission Bay to San Diego Bay).

On a foggy morning in Mission Bay, the 25 foot, all solar-electric watercraft, named Charge-It, quietly glides its way through the water heading for the open waters to San Diego Bay. Equipped with solar collection panels, a plug for recharging at the dock, and an all electric propulsion system, this watercraft uses no fossil fuel. EMC has demonstrated their ability to develop and deploy a system that operates at high power, low voltage, and an extreme reduction in air and noise pollution, further enhancing customer satisfaction and safety.

The trip was a 20 mile journey from Mission Bay, around Point Loma, into San Diego Bay. The sturdy, almost silent boat easily cruises out into the open waters of the Pacific Ocean, through the dense early morning marine layer, using the radar and chart plotting equipment. Charge It must cruise 5 miles off shore in order to avoid the large kelp beds that are favorite spots for fishing and diving in order to make it’s way south to San Diego Bay. Making its way through the chop of the Pacific, Charge It reaches Point Loma, just as the fog lifts, revealing the beautiful coast line and famous light house. The crew then eases into San Diego Bay, heading toward Shelter Island to complete the historic voyage of the first all solar-electric watercraft to perform this bay to bay crossing.

Electro-Mariner Corp. was founded in October 2004. EMC founding engineers have over 135 collective years of watercraft experience in vessels large and small, including fresh and salt water deployments, gas and diesel engine power plants and applications that include pleasure boating, commercial fishing and industrial boating applications.
