What a buyer should know
A minimalist Portuguese electric runabout
The Faro5 is a 5 m electric day boat from Faro Boats of Lisbon — a clean, minimalist runabout for 5, designed in Portugal and moulded by the composite yard MAR Kayaks, better known as the Olympic kayak maker Nelo.
The numbers
Rather than a fixed drivetrain, the Faro5 is ordered from a range: motors from 6 to 30 kW, a choice of lithium batteries, and a top speed that runs from 6 to 22 knots depending on the setup. Faro publishes battery capacity in kWh and range in nautical miles for none of them — endurance is quoted only in hours, about 8 at a gentle 5 knots — so those figures are left out here rather than guessed. At 5 m by 2 m and drawing just 0.3 m, on a GRP hull with a deck in Cryptomeria wood or fibreglass. From €74,500, rising to €126,500 for the 30 kW wood-deck version.

Faro Boats is a Portuguese studio founded in Lisbon in 2021; its boat is built in Portugal by MAR Kayaks (Nelo) in Vila do Conde. The Faro5 is its first model, with a 7-seat Faro Open to follow.
