Test / De Antonio E23: an innovative electric dayboat off the beaten track

Iberian shipyard De Antonio has entered the innovative all-electric boat segment. After several months of research, comparing different technical and architectural solutions, the result is an audacious unit, whose specifications tick a number of boxes for a day trip program.

Launched in 2012, the De Antonio shipyard has never stopped innovating to stand out in the fast dayboat market. From the outset, De Antonio has set itself apart by adopting a sleek design, with angular, razor-sharp lines, yet offering excellent accommodation capacity. Targeting customers looking for a distinctive aesthetic, the builder has also innovated by integrating its outboard motor into a fairing that provides extra comfort on the sundeck.

Long-awaited on the embryonic all-electric dayboat market, we had the chance to try out the De Antonio E23 off Barcelona. In this 4-part test, you'll discover the unit's technological innovations, its fittings, its sailing behavior and its price positioning in the face of eclectic competition.
