FAROBOATS
The world is changing, maritime rules and regulations are changing, our customers are changing: environment- consciousness will transform all our businesses.
And while the electric boats market is booming around the world, very few luxury brands have addressed this major shift.
FaroBoats have gone one step further, by creating the world’s first fully self- sustainable solution for leisure boating.
FARO5
Our Faro5 Runabout was clearly inspired by its 1920’s ancestors. The sleek lines of this 16 ft electric-powered boat can only be described as stunning, as it quietly slices the placid waters of the Bajkał Lagoon where it was first trialed in early 2021.
Designed by Tomás Costa Lima, atop Portuguese Naval Designer, who likes to dub it “streamline design” for its clean lines and understated elegance.
Its100%electric, power-trim sternboard ensures absolute quietness, flawless performance and ample autonomy.
It seats 5 in ample comfort, with its bow seats hidden and flush with the top deck when not in use.
Exquisite details around the cockpit, with full controls and status indicators on a single, full-sized LED Monitor.
Built-incooler, spacious storage spaces, cup holders and top-of-the-line Fusion Stereo System featuring powerful marine speakers complete the luxurious detailing of the Faro5, with many more optional features under development.
THE FAROBOATS SOLAR SET
The dock not only charges the Faro5’s batteries in under 2 hours, but it can raise it completely out of the water to keep its hull dry and free of any fouling.
The Solar Docking Station recharges its batteries completely within the course of one day in the sun.
Towable by water, to allow for full & free autonomy.
WE GROW OUR BOATS IN AZOREAN TREES
The uniqueness of the FARO5 is highlighted by the exquisite hues of the Cryptomeria japonica (sometimes called Japanese Cedar), set in long hand-picked slates that are custom-assembled to seamlessly cover its entire top deck.
The Faro5 is exclusively produced with FSC certified, sustainably forested Cryptomeria from the Portuguese Azores Islands.
This wood is pleasantly scented, reddish-pink in color, lightweight but strong, waterproof and resistant to decay.
A single Cryptomeria tree can yield17Faro5’s.
WE DON’T MANUFACTURE BOATS. WE HANDCRAFT THEM.
A Faro5 is a luxury statement. Each Faro5 is unique, and there should be no two alike, so we do not mass-produce them.
Extreme care, aesthetic judgement and attention to detail in each Faro5 cannot be replicated by machines.
The latest technologies go into both the production process and the final product, but we build each Faro5 one by one.
We hand-pick our fiber and epoxy resins to be the least harmful to the environment.
Vacuum-infused into the structure, they merge with the foam-filled hull to avoid air pockets, so we get a more solid, structurally sound, unsinkable hull.
