Spark Technologies LTD

The SPARK Bot project represents the next generation of electric and autonomous surface vessels designed for versatile use across defense, research, and commercial applications. Built from advanced carbon fiber composites, these lightweight and durable boats combine innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.

Electric Boat Design

SPARK electric boats feature a compact structure, low draft, electric jet propulsion, silent operation, and zero emissions. With minimal maintenance requirements and exceptional mobility, they are ideal for operations requiring discretion and efficiency. The propulsion system, developed in cooperation with ZeroJet (New Zealand), ensures high performance with next-generation electric waterjet technology.
