Artemis Technologies has unveiled the next-generation Artemis EF-15 Escape, expanding the capacity of its fully electric foiling passenger vessel to up to 50 passengers and introducing a configurable platform for urban and island transit, premium passenger services and logistics.

Building on the proven 12-passenger Artemis EF-12 Escape, the new platform combines increased capacity with the efficiency, low wake, ride comfort and zero operational emissions enabled by Artemis Technologies' proprietary Artemis eFoiler® system. Its configurable interior supports layouts ranging from high-occupancy public transport to lower-occupancy premium cabins and utility-focused logistics.

In its high-capacity configuration, the Artemis EF-15 Escape gives operators a practical way to expand waterborne transit. By lifting the hull above the water, the hydrofoil system significantly reduces wake, helping to minimise shoreline impact and opening opportunities for operation in sensitive and high-traffic urban waterways. This opens up new route possibilities across urban environments, helping shift passenger demand from roads to waterways.

Passengers benefit from a quieter and smoother journey. Reduced noise and vibration improve comfort onboard, while the stability of foiling minimises motion even at speed and in variable conditions. Configurable interiors allow operators to tailor the onboard experience to specific market requirements, from high-throughput commuter services to premium passenger environments.

Commenting on the vessel, Dr Iain Percy OBE, CEO of Artemis Technologies, said:

The next-generation Artemis EF-15 Escape is about making electric foiling relevant to many more operators and many more passengers. By increasing capacity to as many as 50 passengers and creating a configurable platform, we can address everything from high-frequency urban transit to premium passenger and logistics applications.

The principle remains the same: move people and goods across the water more efficiently, with zero operational emissions, significantly reduced wake and a passenger experience that conventional vessels struggle to match.

This latest development comes amid accelerating global momentum for electric maritime transport. The Artemis EF-15 Escape is designed to meet both U.S. Coast Guard Subchapter T requirements and the International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft (HSC Code), and its common platform supports future fleet expansion across multiple service models within the same operating network.

For operators, the advantages extend beyond zero operational emissions. Fully electric propulsion reduces energy consumption and maintenance requirements compared with conventional diesel vessels, lowering operating costs and improving fleet reliability. Combined with increased passenger capacity, this can improve route economics, fleet utilisation and the viability of higher-frequency services. Deploying different configurations from a common platform also gives operators long-term fleet flexibility.

The Artemis EF-15 Escape also marks a shift in Artemis Technologies' approach, from individual vessel products toward a scalable family of configurable platforms designed to make high-performance electric waterborne transport a practical part of modern mobility.
