What a buyer should know
A genuine day boat
At 6.1 metres and 650 kg with seating for six, the Flying Shark 5.7 Capri Classic is the first Flying Shark that works as a proper family day boat rather than a runabout, and at €39,150 it undercuts most of the German and Dutch electric day boats of similar length. For lakes, rivers and sheltered coastal water it is competitively positioned.
Read the drivetrain carefully
The configuration recorded here — 6 kW and 8 kWh — is a low-power, small-pack setup, and it is worth noticing that it is quoted with less power and less battery than the smaller 4.2 model. That strongly suggests this is an entry configuration rather than the boat most buyers end up with, particularly as VTS separately states that planing requires 25 kW. Anyone expecting the boat to plane should assume a significantly larger motor and pack, at a price well above the headline figure. Establish exactly which drivetrain a quotation covers.
Caveats
Performance is published in km/h and hours only, with no range in nautical miles. VTS builds combustion versions of the same hulls, so specify the propulsion on every document. The six-hour charge is reasonable for a pack this size but implies overnight charging at a berth.
Written from the builder’s published specifications and the wider market, not from testing the boat ourselves. Always confirm figures with the manufacturer before committing.
