The team behind Sylents

Specialists in e-mobility, hydrodynamics and embedded systems – united by the idea of gliding across the water silently and emission-free.

How it started

From the beach to the workshop.

It all started on holiday: we were lying on the beach, enjoying the calm and the vastness of the sea – until a loud, foul-smelling personal watercraft broke the silence. Reason enough to change something. The idea was born: an electric water-jet drive like none before it.

Today, Sylents is one of the first manufacturers of electric jet drives for the leisure-boating segment – safe, blockage-free and emission-free.
