Düsseldorf, Germany – January 2026 – Blade Outboards, founded by engineers from the boatbuilding, sailing, aerospace, and semiconductor industries, will unveil the HALO 3 and HALO 6 electric outboards at BOOT Düsseldorf 2026. Blending precision engineering with an elevated on-water experience, the HALO series brings a new emotional dimension to electric boating — one defined not only by performance, but by how it feels to pilot.
Electric propulsion has always promised quiet, clean, and green operation. Blade Outboards fulfills that promise while delivering something more: a sense of ease, control, and confidence that comes from hardware designed to disappear into the background and let the water take center stage. Every curve, every control surface, and every interface on the HALO series was developed around the boater, not just the motor.
The HALO’s ergonomic tiller is sculpted for long days on the water, offering a naturally balanced grip and smooth throttle response that feels intuitive from the first touch. The integrated display provides clear real-time readouts without clutter, and the system pairs seamlessly with any NMEA2000 compatible chart plotter or Blade’s smartphone app for route planning, battery insights, geofencing, and performance data. The result is a propulsion system that feels less like a motor and more like an extension of the vessel and the boater.
Beneath this refined experience lies the engineering discipline that defines Blade Outboard. Both the HALO 3 and HALO 6 boast a class-leading combination of usable battery capacity, sustained thrust, and real-world range. Advanced power-management software ensures consistent output across the entire battery cycle, while corrosion-resistant alloys and composite structures adapted from aerospace manufacturing provide durability in harsh marine environments. The HALO 3 is ideal for tenders, small sailboats, and lightweight recreational boats, while the HALO 6 delivers confident power for performance dinghies, utility skiffs, and recreational powerboats.
Each HALO motor undergoes rigorous stress testing modeled after aerospace standards. And with a modular architecture that simplifies service and upgrades, HALO owners can expect reliability that goes beyond typical marine equipment lifecycles.
“We built HALO to elevate the entire experience of being on the water,” said Managing Director Bruce Anson. “When the engineering is done right, the motor becomes effortless — and the boating becomes unforgettable.”
Both the HALO 3 and 6 feature a removable and in-line 1700-watt hour battery. The HALO 3 uses 1200 watts of power to propel boats forward, while the HALO 6 offers 3000 watts of continuous power.
Blade Outboard will showcase the HALO 3 and HALO 6 at BOOT Düsseldorf 2026, Hall 10 Stand E63, with hands-on demonstrations and dealer meetings throughout the show.
