Classic boat Drift Away

The Drift Away was built and designed to realise what we call “sailing without sails”. We are happy to say that this ambition is now a magnificent feature of our boat. The design of the boat in combination with top of the line electric propulsion technology gives you the feeling that the ship is moving on a small puff of air. Enjoy the ecstatic feeling of moving on the power of the sun without the noise and fumes of a diesel engine. Explore the canals in total silence and with respect for the environment and redefine the term smooth sailing! In summer or winter, indoor or outdoor. The onboard heating system ensures a very pleasant temperature in the winter.

The Drift Away was custom built for the canals of Amsterdam. This resulted in some practical advantages compared to other salon boats, such as being able to sail even teh prettiest and smallest canals of Amsterdam in the Jordaan district. Other practical facilities are a comfortable toilet, a flat screen for presentations and 4G internet to make the boat suitable for every occasion.

The realisation of the Drift Away marks the beginning of a new age of solar powered ships and has received worldwide media attention. For information about the boat you can check out www.arviro.com.
