PTS 24E

The PTS 24 is a totally new design, by the renowned Dutch architects Vrijpack, heavily influenced by the extremely successful PTS 26. As with the latter you can still sleep over on occasion thanks to the comfortable dinette in the bow. A discreet toilet is hidden away on the port side and there is also a small galley available. 

The joy of the PTS 24 is the sociable seating area in the spacious aft cockpit with easy entry onto the aft bathing platform. The PTS 24 is available with 2 hull designs - one suitable for an inboard and one designed for an outboard whether electric or powered by a more conventional petrol outboard.

PTS 31

The PTS range of boats from a small Dutch yard in Schagen selected by E-Boatique and HSC for their attention to detail and quality of build, reflects their inspiration from the eponymous Pettersson launches.

CG Pettersson was Sweden’s most famous naval architect and builder to date, creating more than 1000 boats during his lifetime. He had a distinctive aesthetic which we see clearly translated down the years in the PTS 26 and more recently also the PTS 31. The boats were designed for island hopping on the Scandinavia.

To date Statement Marine have built in excess of 80 boats since their inception in 2006. However the yard does not seek to build more than 15 boats a year. The advantage of a semi bespoke build is the choice of colours and materials. The decks can be solid hard wood or Esthec which is a long lasting composite available in many colours and of course low maintenance. Some customers choose a stainless steel windscreen surround while others prefer varnished or oiled hard wood.

We sell these boats with a choice of propulsion designed to suit the needs of the owner.

On board the PTS 26 you can expect to see seating for 8 in a comfortable aft cockpit which can have a full height canopy and a table as well as a sunbathing infill if required. The helm and passenger positions can be adjusted to face guests in the stern when at anchor. Below decks is a comfortable, convertible dinette, a small galley with fridge and cooker as well as a spacious toilet compartment with optional shower.

The PTS 31 launched in late 2017 at the HISWA boat show in Amsterdam and the second boat is approaching completion at Easter 2018. While one feels the influence of the original Pettersson, the 31 is very definitely contemporary both inside and out. An interesting feature is a piece of artwork commissioned by the yard to complement the interior of each 31. The owner buys a “surprise” but obviously if the piece is not to your liking you can change it. With more space throughout there is a sleeping area aft of the galley and heads below the helm positions which is ideal for children. The convertible dinette arrangement is ideal for two to sleep in a king sized bed with room for at least four to eat when in table mode.

The main innovation on the 31 is the collapsible, transparent transom which can be etched with the name of the boat. The interior furnishings are bespoke as are the hull colour and deck finishes.

We like to take potential customers to the yard for a day visit and a river trial. This can be easily achieved from a number of regional airports in a day with no need for an overnight stay.

Electric Boats Gain Traction in the UK

An Insight into Recent Registration Numbers

Electric boats are gaining popularity in the UK and for good reason. With environmental concerns on the rise and the cost of fuel continuing to climb, electric boats are proving to be a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional boats.

Recent data from data.gov.uk shows a steady increase in the number of electric boats registered on the Thames over the past few years. There were 527 annual registrations in 2021, whereas in 2022, the number increased to 569. This represents a significant uptick in the number of electric boats being used on the river and reflects the growing trend towards sustainable boating practices.

Looking at all waterways in the UK, the trend is also positive. In 2021/22, there were 633 annual registrations, and in 2022/23, this number increased to 673. This indicates that electric boats are not just popular on the Thames but across the UK as a whole.

The increase in annual registrations suggests that more people are choosing to buy electric boats as their primary mode of water transportation.

The benefits of electric boats include lower operating costs, as they require less maintenance and are cheaper to fuel than traditional boats. Additionally, electric boats are much quieter than their gasoline-powered counterparts, making them ideal for use in peaceful settings. Overall, the trend in electric boat registrations is a positive sign for the environment and the boating industry. 

As more people become aware of the benefits of electric boating, we can expect to see further growth in their numbers in the coming years. With the cost of fuel continuing to rise and environmental concerns at the forefront of people's minds, electric boats represent an excellent alternative to traditional boats and are likely to become even more popular in the future.
