How does an Arc boat compare to a gas-powered boat?
Our boats are far more reliable, cheaper to operate and maintain, quieter, quicker, and more seamlessly integrated with software than any gas boat. Plus, they don’t release harmful emissions into the air and water when you use them.
How do I charge one of Arc’s boats?
Our boats can be charged using a variety of methods — from a standard wall outlet (Level 1) to something you’d use to power an electric car in your garage (Level 2), or even a DC fast charger (Level 3). All of our boats use the CCS1 charging standard shared by most electric cars on the road today, so your charging options and speeds are numerous.
What maintenance is required on an Arc boat?
Electric powertrains have far fewer moving parts than combustion engines. This means significantly less time spent on maintenance and more time spent on the water. Keep our boats clean, and keep them charged. There's not much more to it than that.
Electricity and water don’t mix... what makes Arc’s boats safe?
All Arc battery packs and electrical systems are watertight, heavily reinforced, and constantly monitored to give boaters and their families peace of mind on the water. It’s also worth mentioning that many larger boats run on high voltage “shore power” when docked, so electricity in boating isn’t a new challenge. Likewise, today’s electric cars operate in a wide range of wet, harsh conditions that demand rigorous protection similar to that found on our boats.
How can I demo one of Arc’s boats?

Where are Arc boats made?
Our boats are designed and built out of our factory in Los Angeles, CA.

How long does the Arc Sport take to charge?
An overnight charge using a Level 2 charger (what most homes use to charge an electric car) will get you a full battery in time for your morning ride. If you have access to a Level 3 fast charger, you can charge 80% of the battery in as little as 45 minutes. No more lugging gas cans down to a dock or paying marina gas prices; wake up each morning to a boat that’s ready to go!
How long can I use the Arc Sport on a single charge?
For most people, the Arc Sport can handle a typical day out on the water. The exact usage time depends on how you... well, use it. Cruising around at lower speeds is sustainable for over 24 hours straight, whereas spending more time at high speeds will drain the battery faster. On average, the boat should support 4-6 hours of active usage time, including plenty of towing. Lunch breaks come free of charge.
Can I use the Arc Sport in saltwater?
Salt water is no problem for the Arc Sport, and only requires a little extra care to keep it clean.
Can you surf behind the Arc Sport?
Absolutely! We built the Arc Sport as a dedicated wake boat. Not only is it quiet and punchy, but it also throws a great wake!
Does the Arc Sport come with a warranty?
Yes! The Arc Sport comes with a 5 year powertrain warranty with unlimited hours.
How much is the Arc Sport?
The Arc Sport starts at $258k. We’ve priced the Arc Sport to be directly competitive with other premium gas wake boats on the market. The Arc Sport comes equipped with all the premium features included; gone are the gas-boat-days of upcharging for the optional extras you really want!
How does the Arc Sport get smarter over time?
We’re constantly updating and improving our boats through over-the-air (OTA) updates. By leveraging the powerful onboard computer and built-in data plan, we can add entirely new capabilities to the boat’s controls — and deliver those updates wirelessly to customers around the country.
Does the Arc Sport have thrusters?
Yes! The Arc Sport comes standard with both bow and stern thrusters — giving it maneuverability that almost no other wake boat has.
How much ballast does the Arc Sport have?
With full ballast, the Arc Sport delivers 9,000 lbs of displacement. This is made up of 6,900 lbs of dry weight with a strategically positioned battery plus computer controlled water ballast to amplify your wave.
Do you offer financing and insurance?
At time of purchase, we can connect you with a provider that can support all of your financing, registration, and insurance needs!
What if I run out of power?
Unlike a gas boat, running out of power on an Arc Sport is highly unlikely. Not only will the boat give you a warning if you start to get low on battery, but it can also run at slower speeds for extended periods of time (think of low power mode on your iPhone). If you’re in the middle of Lake Tahoe, you can get back to any other point on the lake with less than 5% of power. If you do manage to run out of power, you can get towed back to the nearest dock. Unlike with gas boats which need an actual gas pump, any dock with a plug will do the trick.
How many Arc Ones were produced?
The Arc One was an exclusive, limited-edition model that we only produced a handful of. We’re now scaling this technology to the mass-market with the Arc Sport.
Can I still buy the Arc One?
The Arc One is sold out. The Arc Sport is the only model available for sale.
