A Sustainable Future

Ottawa Boat Cruise is taking a significant step towards environmental responsibility by unveiling plans to electrify its entire fleet. This remarkable initiative aims to reduce emissions, preserve our pristine waterways, and provide an unforgettable cruising experience for all. Let's dive deeper into this thrilling development!

On Jun 8th, 2023, at the Ekeau Launch (OBC's Green Brand), Ottawa Boat Cruise announced its ambitious plans to transition towards an all-electric fleet. This forward-thinking decision is a testament to the company's commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation. By harnessing the power of electric propulsion, Ottawa Boat Cruise aims to significantly reduce its carbon footprint and pave the way for a greener future in the boating industry.

The electrification process will involve replacing the existing diesel-powered engines with cutting-edge electric propulsion systems. This transformation will not only eliminate harmful emissions but also provide a smoother and quieter cruising experience, allowing passengers to fully immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty of Ottawa's waterways.

Furthermore, Ottawa Boat Cruise's investment in electric technology aligns perfectly with the city's broader sustainability goals. As Ottawa strives to become a leader in green initiatives, Ottawa Boat Cruise is proud to contribute to this vision by taking decisive action toward a more sustainable future.

The transition to electric-powered vessels comes with numerous benefits, both for passengers and the environment. The elimination of emissions will ensure cleaner air quality, reducing the environmental impact on our beloved waterways and the surrounding ecosystem. Passengers can look forward to a serene cruising experience, enhanced by the absence of engine noise and vibrations.

This commitment to sustainability is just the beginning for Ottawa Boat Cruise. The company aims to leverage its electric fleet to inspire and educate passengers about the importance of preserving our natural resources. As guests embark on a captivating journey, they will have the opportunity to learn about the ecological significance of the Ottawa River and the Rideau Canal, as well as the measures being taken to protect and conserve these invaluable treasures.
