Riverfront Marine Sales & Service Brings X Shore to the Great Lakes

Published: Friday, September 19, 2025 10:00 am

Riverfront Marine Sales & Service is excited to offer the full X Shore electric boat lineup—Eelex 8000, X Shore 1, and X Shore Pro—to boaters across the Great Lakes. Crafted in Sweden, these innovative vessels deliver exceptional performance while combining sleek design, advanced marine technology, and a true commitment to sustainability.

X Shore was founded in 2016 by Konrad Bergström, a man inspired by his love for the ocean. He wanted to create an electric model that was sustainable but boasted a stunning design. What Bergström came up with has taken the boating industry by storm. X Shore selected Riverfront Marine as its regional dealer because of their shared vision of innovation and environmental responsibility. Global demand for these boats continues to surge, supporting production growth and prompting the decision to launch new models in the future.

These are more than boats—they’re long-term investments, offering dramatically lower fuel, engine repair, and maintenance costs thanks to their 100% electric propulsion. Every model is built with sustainability in mind, featuring cork in place of teak, recycled plastics, and the option of flax fiber for enhanced durability, reduced noise, and easier recyclability at the end of the vessel’s life.

Eelex 8000 – Power Meets Versatility

The Eelex 8000 delivers speed, range, and adaptability in one sleek package. With an acceleration from 0 to 20 knots in just 4.2 seconds, it reaches a top speed of 35 knots and provides a range of 100 nautical miles on one charge when riding at lower speeds. Charging takes 5–8 hours on three-phase power or as little as 1–2 hours with a supercharger.

Its helm features a 24-inch touchscreen and sophisticated software that monitors 150 data points per second, including battery health and environmental conditions. The optional Sea Lab system even measures water quality in terms of acidity and oxygen levels. With 15 layout options, 800 kg towing capacity, and configurations for fishing, watersports, or leisure, the Eelex 8000 is as capable as it is eco-friendly.

X Shore 1 – Efficient and Stylish

Available in Open, Top, and Bowrider versions, the X Shore 1 pairs Scandinavian minimalism with exceptional efficiency. Its hull design reduces drag and energy use by roughly 35% compared to traditional boats, while sustainable materials create a refined, eco-conscious interior.

With battery capacities up to 120 kWh and charge times starting at eight hours, it’s perfect for a luxurious day of cruising, entertaining family and friends, or exploring the Great Lakes.

X Shore Pro – Built for Work, Ready for Adventure

Purpose-built for professional and heavy-duty use, the X Shore Pro combines rugged durability with clean electric power. Its reinforced fiberglass hull ensures stability in challenging conditions, while the spacious deck layout is designed to accommodate equipment such as fishing gear.

Whether for commercial operation or serious angling, the Pro delivers the same silent, sustainable propulsion as the rest of the X Shore lineup. This model proves that performance and responsibility can go hand in hand.

Smart Technology, Seamless Experience

All X Shore models feature advanced connectivity, including remote locking and unlocking, Garmin smartwatch integration, geofencing, and overboard safety alerts. The intuitive helm layout makes operation easy and enjoyable, while efficient propulsion systems set a new benchmark for electric boating.

“As the owner of Riverfront Marine Sales & Service, I’m excited to bring the full X Shore line of electric boats to the Great Lakes,” says Jeremiah Swetel. “It’s a perfect blend of performance, sustainability, and modern boating luxury. We’re ready to help our customers discover a better, cleaner way to enjoy the water.”
