Flux Marine is an electric marine propulsion company headquartered in Bristol, Rhode Island, USA. Specializing in high-performance, all-electric outboards and integrated propulsion systems, the company aims to redefine boating by making zero-emission, powerful, and low-maintenance experiences accessible.
Here’s a breakdown of what Flux Marine is about:
Overview
Name: Flux Marine
Founded: 2018
Headquarters: Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
Founders/ Key Leadership: Ben Sorkin (CEO)
Funding: Flux Marine is funded through a $15.5 million Series A round (2022) led by Ocean Zero LLC, with participation from Boost VC and Winklevoss Capital, to scale electric outboard production and R&D.
Mission: To advance electric propulsion technology to deliver the world’s best boating experiences—more powerful, more efficient, more sustainable, and more enjoyable.
Products
Electric Outboards (available in 15-HP, 40-HP, 70-HP and 100-HP variants)
Fully electric boat packages: e.g., the 21′ 6″ 215 XSF and 215 Dorado center-console models equipped with the Flux 100 HP outboard.
Hull and propulsion bundles with partners: e.g., the Highfield Sport 660 aluminum-hull RIB, the Flagship Discover pontoon boat, both fitted with Flux systems.
Modular battery & powertrain system: example quote from review: “three 400-volt 28 kWh batteries = 84 kWh total” powering the Flux 100 outboard.
Technology & Design
Electric motors and propulsion systems engineered from the ground up—eschewing legacy combustion-engine components—so as to maximize efficiency, minimize maintenance, and deliver performance comparable to gas engines.
The company’s innovations include motor/hull integration, advanced battery packs, and smart system architecture, all suited for the recreational, commercial, and defense marine markets.
Sustainability
Flux Marine’s technology replaces internal-combustion marine engines, eliminating fuel use, oil contamination, and reducing noise and vibration—benefiting natural waterways, wildlife, and the boating environment.
Vision
Flux Marine’s vision is to accelerate the electrification of boating across the recreational and commercial sectors by delivering turnkey electric propulsion solutions that combine performance, reliability, and sustainability.
