Inventory Associate

What we’re building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, starting with electric water sport boats.

Gas-powered boats dominate today’s marine industry not because they offer a great experience but because of a lack of better alternatives. Boaters have grown accustomed to vehicles that feel stuck in the 1980s—unreliable, expensive, loud, noxious, and difficult to own and operate. They are also harmful to the water and air they reside in.

By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way. They are far more reliable, less costly to operate, quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they have been held back by both the technology and the talent needed to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That is Arc’s opportunity.

Using modern aerospace and automotive-inspired techniques, we are developing our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.
