The Silverback Sherpa 24 Electric Landing Craft is a fully electric, 24-foot aluminum landing craft built for versatility, durability, and clean operation. With its dual Photon electric outboards and dual 63 kWh batteries (126 kWh total), this rugged workboat delivers reliable all-day performance while eliminating the noise, emissions, and fuel costs of conventional power.

Capable of cruising at 25 mph with a top speed approaching 40 mph, the Sherpa 24 offers a practical range of around 30 nautical miles per charge. Its heavy-duty design features a 70-inch bow door, quarter cabin, push knees, and HDPE fendering. All making this boat ideal for cargo transport, landings, patrol, and utility operations in challenging environments.

Every aspect of the Sherpa 24 is engineered for functionality and resilience. Its self-bailing aluminum hull, beaching plate, and Euro transom design provide strength and protection, while the quarter cabin offers a safe, weather-protected space for operators and crew. Combining advanced electric propulsion with proven hull construction, it simplifies operations while reducing environmental impact.

Charging is straightforward and efficient, with support for fast charging to minimize downtime. With no oil changes, exhaust treatment, or complex maintenance, operators benefit from lower running costs and more time on the water.

Built tough for real-world applications, yet quiet and emission-free, the Sherpa 24 sets a new standard for modern electric workboats.
