Porsche ventures into the waters with the 850 Fantom Air sports boat
Combining state-of-the-art technology with timeless design, the 850 Porsche Fantom Air redefines performance on the water. Developed in collaboration with the renowned Austrian shipyard Frauscher, this electric sports boat marks a new era of electric mobility, seamlessly translating Porsche’s legendary road performance to the open water.
Carrying the Maison’s unmistakable spirit, the 850 Fantom Air brings together precision engineering, dynamic performance and sleek aesthetics. Its design is based on the Frauscher 858 Fantom Air day cruiser, with an 8.67-metre-long and 2.49-metre-wide hull that offers space for up to nine passengers.

Adding to its luxurious appeal, the sports boat features a swimming platform at the rear, leading to a spacious lounge area with two comfortable sunbathing pads. This creates an inviting setting for relaxation, seamlessly blending practicality with elegance.
Moving towards the helm, the centre aisle is home to a free-standing cockpit designed by Porsche’s premium design agency. Here, an original Porsche sports steering wheel takes centre stage, complemented by five classic analogue gauges on the instrument panel.

Further enhancing the interior, the seating has been redesigned with raised backrests, integrated headrests and an embroidered crest. The seats are inspired by Porsche sports cars, delivering exceptional comfort while maintaining the brand’s signature aesthetic.
Beneath its refined exterior and at the heart of the 850 Fantom Air lies an advanced electric powertrain derived from the forthcoming all-electric Porsche Macan. This cutting-edge system includes a permanently excited synchronous motor (PSM) that delivers a peak output of 400 kW, enabling the yacht to achieve an optimal cruising speed of 41 km/h and a top speed of 85 km/h.

The powerful motor also features Porsche’s innovative 800-volt technology, allowing the yacht to be charged with over 250 kW of DC current at fast-charging stations. Under ideal conditions, the battery can be charged from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in well under 30 minutes. Additionally, an 11-kW AC charger is provided as standard, enabling charging in conventional household and high-voltage sockets.

Further enhancing the boat’s adaptability, the 850 Fantom Air offers multiple driving modes, including Docking, Range, Sport and Sport Plus. Each mode adjusts throttle response and speed limits, allowing the driver to tailor the performance to suit any situation, whether leisurely cruising or experiencing the boat’s full power on open waters.
