The Smart Cat E280 Electric is a 28-foot fiberglass catamaran powered by twin 50-horsepower Torqeedo electric motors. Built as a compact, low-maintenance cruiser, it combines a shallow-draft hull with a wide 17.4-foot beam, making it suitable for exploring shallow waters, bays, and anchorages where deeper-drafted boats cannot go.
The interior accommodates three queen-size berths across three cabins, along with a head and shower, galley, and office space. The design prioritizes liveaboard comfort while maintaining practical living quarters. Above deck, the boat features a spacious open layout with lounge areas, offering room for socializing and relaxation.
The electric propulsion system delivers silent, low-vibration cruising with no fuel consumption and minimal maintenance requirements. The straightforward mechanical systems are designed for easy servicing without need for specialized hauling or crane facilities. The compact footprint eases docking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
