At this year’s Steelpointe Yacht and Boat Show, we had the chance to experience a game-changer in marine technology, the fully electric Highfield Sport 660, powered by Flux Marine’s electric outboard motor.
On Friday, we stepped aboard the sleek Highfield 660 and took a ride to see the future of sustainable boating in action. Outfitted with a center console helm that includes a full Garmin navigation system and chart plotter, carbon dash with integrated trim tabs, and a flush, modern display, the boat offers a seamless blend of high-tech design and comfort.
But the real showstopper? The whisper-quiet Flux Marine electric outboard motor. Not only is it nearly silent making conversation easy and cruising peaceful but the instant torque also delivers impressive acceleration and control.
Chris Myers, Director of Sales at Flux Marine, spoke with us about the vision behind their groundbreaking technology:
“We’re proud to lead this category of larger electric outboard motors,” Myers said. “The benefits are obvious. it’s quiet, there’s zero maintenance, zero emissions, and instant torque. It enhances the experience for everyone on board. We’ve built this from the ground up as a fully electric solution and for marina owners, the conservation aspect is crucial. The team at Steelpointe understands that, and this is the perfect fit for this location.”
Robert Christoph Jr., President of Bridgeport Landing Development said the new purchase is in line with the company’s goal of being environmentally and customer conscious.
The collaboration between Highfield and Flux Marine is rooted in a shared mission to deliver unmatched capability and durability on the water. As noted on Flux Marine’s website: “Our shared commitment to performance makes Highfield the ideal partner for Flux Marine. With Highfield’s reputation of durability and Flux’s focus on cutting-edge propulsion technology, this collaboration creates a boat package that inspires confidence on the water.”
Charging is just as efficient as the motor itself. The system allows for flexible charging options: from 20% to 80% in 7.5 hours with standard shore power, just 1.5 hours with a fast charger, or even overnight using a regular home outlet.
As electric propulsion becomes more prominent in the marine industry, the Highfield 660 with Flux Marine motor proves that power, sustainability, and style can all ride in the same boat.
