Boating without guesswork: How Arc redefines range

Most boaters know the drill: outdated fuel gauges, unreliable speedometers, and the constant nagging question of whether there’s enough gas to get back. It’s an old problem that turns a carefree day on the water into a guessing game.

Arc redefines that experience. With real-time battery intelligence and precise power management, you always know exactly how much time you have left. No fumes, no fuel stress — just clarity, confidence, and more time enjoying the ride.

Understanding the Arc Sport's range

Electric cars have conditioned people to think about range in terms of miles. So it’s no surprise we often get asked, “How far can an Arc boat go on a single charge?”

That question makes sense for cars — or even for offshore boats traveling point to point — but it’s not as helpful for recreational lake and river boating. What matters most isn’t distance, but time. You want to know how many hours you can cruise, surf, or relax before heading back to the dock.

That’s why we frame range in terms of usage time that reflect how you actually spend your day on the water.

• 4-6 hours of high-energy use, like wake surfing sessions
• 8-10 hours of mixed use
• 24+ hours of low-speed cruising

However you use it, whatever the conditions, our all-electric wake boat is designed to handle a full day on the water without worry.

What the Arc Sport’s range looks like in practice

We tracked a few recent days on the water to show exactly how the Arc Sport battery performs.

Lake Burton, GA — 98% start → 15% finish

• Time on the water: 7 hours 35 minutes
• Miles covered: 32.9 miles
• Activities: Surfing, cruising, and relaxing (plus about 45 minutes idling)

Lake Minnetonka, MN — 71% start → 35% finish

• Time on the water: 5 hours 25 minutes
• Miles covered: 20.9 miles
• Activities: Launched from Crystal Bay then cruised down to surf in Excelsior Bay

Smart power management for a worry-free return to shore

If you’ve owned a gas boat, you know the drill. Fuel readings bounce with every wave, speed sensors clog, and you often end up making decisions based on experience rather than accurate data.

Arc puts clear, reliable information front and center. Our real-time battery monitoring constantly checks the health of every part of the battery — things like how much charge you have left and how each component is performing. All of that information is processed instantly and displayed in a way that’s easy to understand, so you always know where you stand while you’re on the water.

And if your day takes you farther than planned, built-in safeguards step in to help you get back to shore:

• Low-battery alerts: Alerts notify you when capacity drops below a set threshold, so you know it’s time to head in.
• Automatic speed limiting: Like low-power mode on your phone, the Arc Sport’s speed is automatically limited once the battery falls below a preset threshold to preserve range and ensure you can always get back to the dock.

With this combination of precision monitoring and intelligent power management, Arc boats deliver the confidence and reliability that gas boats simply can’t match.
