Is it possible to have an exhilarating experience on the water without harming the ocean we love? In this eye-opening episode of the Marine EV Leadership Series, we sit down with Eric Laakmann, the visionary CEO of VESSEV, to discuss how his company is revolutionizing the marine industry.

Eric, a self-described "eight-year-old kid in love with the ocean," combines his passion for sailing with a background in engineering from his time at Apple. He explains that the key to a truly **sustainable future for boating** isn't just a greener engine, but a completely rethought design. He breaks down the fundamental difference between traditional planing hulls and hydrofoiling, revealing why his electric boats are more than twice as efficient as their conventional counterparts.

We dive into the biggest challenges facing the marine EV market today—from charging infrastructure to upfront costs—and Eric shares his unique perspective on how to overcome them. You'll learn about VESSEV's flagship commercial vessel, the VS9, and how its innovative retractable foils and easy charging system are paving the way for a cleaner, quieter, and more exciting experience on the water.
