R30 — The Electric Yacht Revolution

Overview

R stands for Revolution

The R30 is a 30-foot all-electric aluminum yacht engineered to redefine marine architecture. Built from the ground up by Florida-based startup Blue Innovations Group, the project set out to create a zero-compromise vessel packed with original features.

The design fuses automotive technologies and principles with the hydrodynamic forms of apex marine life. Overcoming complex technical constraints and structural limitations, the team engineered a fully functional, high-performance boat—setting groundbreaking design cues that continue to influence electric watercraft across the industry today.

Form language inspired by apex hydrodynamic efficiency.
