Artemis Technologies Elevates Luxury Travel with the Unveiling of the Artemis EF-12 Escape

Artemis Technologies has embraced the challenge of decarbonising the luxury travel sector with the introduction of the Artemis EF-12 Escape.
Recognising the rise in demand for sustainable tourism across luxury travel, the 100% electric high-end water taxi is a world-first for the sector, aimed at reducing harmful emissions from tourism transport.
With zero operating emissions and a reduced wake to help protect shorelines and wildlife, the Artemis EF-12 Escape is the epitome of responsible travel - providing on-demand mobility for environmentally conscious cities and exclusive resorts across the globe.
Designed to provide a more sustainable, comfortable, and elevated passenger experience, the Artemis EF-12 Escape offers an experience that is as gentle on the environment as it is luxurious for its passengers.
Powered by patented electric hydrofoil technology, the Artemis EF-12 Escape rises effortlessly above the water, reducing the impact of waves for an ultra-smooth and quiet ride.
Dr Iain Percy, CEO of Artemis Technologies, explains, 'This is more than just a mode of transport - it's a game-changer in waterborne mobility that offers a dynamic, eco-friendly alternative for people to get from A to B, whilst also opening up an exciting new way for guests to visit resorts and explore destinations while minimising their carbon footprint.
From the moment you step onboard, the Artemis EF-12 Escape is designed to impress. The elegant interior offers an oasis of calm with a spacious, refined cabin accommodating up to 12 passengers and expansive windows providing breathtaking views.
Efficiency is also key. With a top speed of 30 knots and a foiling range of up to 52 nautical miles, this luxury water taxi is as practical as it is elegant. And with its ultra-fast charging capability (fully recharged in under 60 minutes) guests are never far from their next adventure. Iain continues:
The Artemis EF-12 Escape presents a way for cities and resorts to tap into their waterways like never before, “Whether it’s navigating water-based urban environments or hopping between islands, this vessel was created to offer passengers something unforgettable.
Available now for order, the Artemis EF-12 Escape is customisable to meet the needs of various destinations and operations. Whether you’re adding to your resort’s fleet or seeking a sophisticated solution for urban mobility, this all-electric water taxi promises to deliver an unparalleled travel experience.
