Small electric boats

We specialise in crowd-pleasing, irresistible electric hire boats, and because for years we have mainly built boats for our own use, we know that our boats really do a job which others don't. Miniport Ships draw the attention of potential boat hire customers like no other boat on the market, and because we use industry standard components such as hatches from the sailing industry and steering components sold for rigid inflatable boats, our reliability is unmatched. Even when the ships hit one of these, they don't take any damage!

Small electric boats are clean, almost silent, and can operate around wildlife such as fish and birds with almost zero impact - our site at Gunwharf Quays has operated alongside (well, above, actually) the school of huge fish which live in the pond since 2011, and we had a swan in the Mast Pond at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard for some weeks a couple of years ago!

Our motors are a modified form of the most reliable electric outboard around, which we have used unchanged for 7 years. The motors last for some thousands of hours, and are quick and economical to exchange in the event that you manage to wear one out - we reckon that they sometimes last 5000 hours! This is a Miniport Ferry passing the Wightlink Ferry...both on their way to the `isle of wight from Portsmouth in 2014......ours was a little slower, but cleaner and more fun!
