Delivering the future of boating
We’re electrifying the marine industry, beginning with recreational boating. Founded in 2021 in Los Angeles, CA, we're continuing to chart new waters until everything that floats is electric.
The Vision
We’re making boating more modern, enjoyable, and sustainable. Our groundbreaking first model, the Arc One, set a new industry standard as the most powerful electric boat commercially available. And it was just the beginning.
Our second model, the Arc Sport, is modernizing even more of the water.
The Technology
Founder Story
CEO Mitch Lee was born into a Bay Area family of boating fanatics — his mom waterskied on the morning of her wedding day, curlers and all — and spent countless hours on the water growing up. On land, he focused on entrepreneurship, juggling multiple jobs and trading stocks from a young age.
Meanwhile in rural Pennsylvania, CTO Ryan Cook was busy building complex Lego sets, robots, and toy rockets. He earned the nickname “Rocket Man” among friends and family after his first launch — in his family living room. The lasting burn mark on the ceiling was a spot of inspiration for bigger experiments outdoors.
