When a boat has been at the top of the sales charts for eleven years and 250 hulls have already been built, it would be easy to relax and continue along the same path. But no, the Frauscher team is constantly driven to add and improve. By 2022, the “engineers of emotion” had updated the 650 Alassio electric boat so significantly, that it is fair to call it the second generation of the bestseller.

The boat's strengths are its practicality, attractive price, and sophisticated design.

With a length of 6.5 meters, the electric motorboat can easily accommodate up to six people. The cockpit has everything you need: two comfortable armchairs, a spacious sofa for four, and a wide sunbathing area. Comparing the old and new layouts, the change in seat configuration has made it easier for guests to accommodate on board. The sofa cushions have become wider. The diamond-shaped stitching on the vinyl gives them a first-class appearance. The refrigerator can hold an impressive supply of drinks and snacks. You can have lunch right here at the transformer table with a teak top. The engine compartment, covered by a large sunbathing bed, now opens electrically.

The boat's dashboard has been completely redesigned. The premium stainless steel steering wheel, covered in leather, has been improved, the on-board computer has been updated, and the latest audio system from Fusion Marine and JL Audio has been installed. Large touch screens simplify boat control. The windshield has been complemented with stainless steel elements. The control station and cockpit are equipped with new LED lighting.

Spectacular air intakes, similar to those on the Frauscher 1212 Ghost, have been added to the hull design. Teak wood trim on the bow, floor, and swim platform is now standard on the boat. The bimini top design has been improved. Two retractable stainless-steel cleats facilitate safe mooring.

The 650 Alassio can be ordered with a bow thruster installed – the first among electric boats in its class!

The boat is equipped with a powerful Torqueedo brushless electric motor with a power output ranging from 4.3 to 60 kW. The motor is offset slightly forward for proper weight distribution. The top configuration of the boat includes the BMW i3 liquid-cooled battery with a capacity of 40 kWh/h. With the most powerful motor, the boat can reach speeds of up to 33 km/h and travel almost 80 km.

Deliveries of the Frauscher 650 Alassio will begin in April 2022, and it is available to order.
