All Electric “Enhydra”
The Enhydra is the newest member of the Red and White Fleet of San Francisco’s passenger excursion vessel fleet. The 128-foot LOA aluminum monohull vessel with a 30’ beam was designed by Nic de Waal of Teknicraft Design in Auckland, New Zealand. This is the largest lithium-ion battery electric hybrid- powered vessel in North America.
The 600-passenger vessel is specifically designed for harbor tours of San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Guests on board the Enhydra can experience views of the bay and cityscape from all three decks, each complete with their own convenient snack bar. The second level offers a full, wrap-around viewing deck with access to the enlarged-bow foredeck. Entirely open, the top deck offers ample outdoor seating for those on board.
