Bowter

Bowter is a Swedish electric boat rental startup founded in 2020 that provides automated water transport solutions to cities seeking sustainable mobility. The company replaces noisy petrol engines with solar-assisted electric vessels designed for easy management and high profitability for local partners.

• Products: Solar-powered electric boats featuring flat undersides, integrated bathing platforms, and mobile app-controlled rental systems.
• Services: Automated booking via smartphone, pre-planned navigation routes based on battery life, and a Flow subscription guaranteeing availability within 48 hours.
• Industries: Urban tourism, sustainable transportation, and eco-friendly leisure activities for customers requiring no prior boating experience.

The company expanded its capacity from two to six passengers after securing millions in investment following participation in SVT's Draknästet. Bowter has received the SKAPA prize, Sweden's largest innovation award, recognizing its technological advancements in green maritime solutions.
