DEEP BLUE
For commercial operators and green
boaters
It’s time for a new chapter in the history of boat drives. With Deep Blue, this chapter has begun. A powerful electric drive using only high-tech components. Industrially developed and manufactured. Independent from the world‘s oil resources and the market price of gasoline. Clean for the water and the air. Driven with regenerative energy and therefore operable in the most remote places of the world.
And the best part? We’re not talking about a vision that might be interesting at some time in the future. We’re talking about now; a product that makes sense today. This is an electric solution that is economically viable for frequent users. And for boat owners on green lakes which ban or restrict the use of gas engines, it means a leap into a new class of performance without costing a fortune.
The fact that the drive sets a new standard in terms of convenience, efficiency and safety is more or less a given. It wouldn’t be a Torqeedo otherwise.

Imagine that you could easily and cleanly break your outboard down into three parts for simple transport and storage. And in just a few easy steps, put it back together again. Imagine that you could accelerate with such control that your enjoyment on the water begins when you cast off in the harbor. Imagine that you could change from traveling ahead to astern with just a twist of the hand. And that throughout the journey, you could converse at a normal volume. Yes you can! With the Travel. In terms of performance and efficiency, it provides everything a gasoline outboard offers, but it’s much more convenient, quieter and more environmentally friendly.
The Travel 1003 drives tenders, dinghies and daysailers of up to 1.5 tons effortlessly for up to 10 hours. The tiller display with its integrated GPS receiver constantly provides a precise overview of how fast you’re traveling and the remaining range, so that you always know that you’ll be able to get to where you want to. If you’ve drained the lithium battery, recharge it when you get back to the shore or with the 12V on-board system. To do so, you don’t have to dismantle the entire motor; it’s enough to unplug the battery, which, at around 9 lbs really isn’t very heavy, and carry it to the power source.
You can also increase your range while you’re on the water by using the solar charger to increase the battery charge. It's no wonder that the Travel, which was awarded “Best Choice Winner” along side a range of other distinctions and awards, has also been chosen as “Green Product of the Year 2011” A wonderful outboard – and we’re not the only ones who think so: “... the powerful thrust produced by the Torqeedo Travel 1003 makes one thing clear: electric outboards are here to stay” Practical Sailor (USA)

Come on, let’s Cruise ...
Hold tight! The new generation of tiller-controlled electric outboards is casting off. Faster, stronger and more attractive. They get lightweight tenders nicely on the plane and move sailboats up to 4 tons elegantly across the sea. Unlike their predecessors, both of these compact power packs are now fully protected against complete immersion and, like all Torqeedo outboards, are equally suitable for cruising on lakes and oceans.
Depending on horsepower, the T models require one or two of our power batteries that can be easily connected using the cable supplied. Plug and play. The superior overall efficiency remains: the Cruise gets more power and range from the battery bank than any other electric outboard.
And despite its immense power, it remains a flyweight – at 39.2 lbs, the 2.0 T model can still be easily carried and the extra 10 oz that the 4.0 T weighs is hardly worth mentioning.
I feel good, I knew that I would ...
The stillness of the water; the sound of the wind; the lapping of the waves. If you love cruising on water, the Cruise R models are for you. Because you can experience everything a boater enjoys – but with a cleaner and quieter journey much more convenience, maximum performance and efficiency.
The Cruise R models have become the preferred outboards in the high-end sector. Not only because, like all the models in the Torqeedo product range, they deliver the highest overall efficiency in their performance class, but because they are so well designed that you always feel confident of the battery capacity and range. Not completely irrelevant when you’re motoring across the water. On the throttle display, you can see all of the relevant information at a glance: battery charge status, GPS-based speed over ground and real-time information about the remaining range.
Want more? More speed? More range? Here you are! We’ve added something with the Twin Cruise R you’ll travel faster and farther over the water. And on the plane. Boat experts in the trade press have already tried it:“... within 14 seconds, the triple-blade plastic propeller had me up to 15.4 knots. That’s almost 17.72 mph.” Bootshandel (Germany)
You’ve got the Power ...
Good. Better. Power 26-104. You can rely on this lithium battery. Always. In every case. Its unique intelligence is reflected in a comprehensive protection concept against short circuits, overloads, deep discharge and wrong polarity. And its performance couldn’t be better: 2,685 Wh for only 55 lbs battery weight (48.7 Wh/lbs).
And the safety standard of this high performance battery? Unbeatable: safe battery chemistry, precise and clean production processes on the part of the cell manufacturer (made in Japan), steel-cylinder cell housing with 4 hardware safety mechanisms for each of the 336 cells, and leading-edge electronic battery management system. With these high quality standards, you can do what you want on the water (and not only there) with the Power 26-104. As it is designed for marine use this battery is completely waterproof (IP 67) and in case of flooding, the voltage is shut off from the poles to prevent electrolytic corrosion and the formation of explosive gas.
And the best part: the Power 26-104 comes at an extremely competitive price. It’s only $ 0.97 per Wh – that is probably the best price in the world for a branded Lithium battery.
U light up my life.
A motor on a kayak? Awesome! Because it’s not just any motor, it’s the Ultralight 403 and weighs just over 15 lbs including the battery and throttle. So it doesn’t restrict performance when paddling, but pushes when it’s needed: against the current, against the wind and against tired arms. Plus, it’s perfect for hands-free fishing and trolling – because it gives you the right amount of power to get you where you need to be. Quietly! And when it drives, it drives properly.
There’s not only more power in this lightweight motor than you’d think at first sight, but it also demonstrates real endurance, taking you up to a full 26 miles on a single charge at an average speed of 2.5 mph (depending on the boat). Which can be done simply and precisely because the throttle display shows the precise speed over ground – just one of four values that the integrated on-board computer always has ready. In addition, battery charge status and remaining range are available at any time, together with conditions such as current and tides taken into account. And if the range isn’t sufficient for you, just take the solar panel on board and you can charge as you go.
With the included mounting ball, the Ultralight fits almost every kayak. All components – motor, battery and throttle – are completely waterproof to IP 67. So whether you’re on inland water or the sea, the Ultralight 403 is the ideal companion for every trip into the blue.
Let the sun shine ...
The sun’s out, time to get out on the water! The ideal companion for increasing the range of your outboard: our solar charger. It constantly tops up the Ultralight as well as the Travel models with 45 W. You just need to plug in the connector cable and it runs.
You can’t charge in a less complicated or more environmentally friendly way. And that, of course, is even more important when you want to travel with your Torqeedo outboard well away from sockets and fuel stations.
