The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Phantom Air sports boat, equipped with the electric powertrain of the all-electric Porsche Macan Turbo SUV, has taken the boating industry by storm with top-tier awards. The hull and deck of the 850 Phantom Air were manufactured by Frauscher Shipyard, while the electric drivetrain and interior design elements were created by Porsche.
At Boot Düsseldorf 2025, the world’s largest boat and water sports trade fair, the 850 Phantom Air was named Powerboat of the Year in the Electric category. The jury stated that “Frauscher and Porsche have achieved an outstanding result by incorporating the highest level of engineering into the boat.”
Michael Frauscher, Managing Director of Frauscher Shipyards, and Jörg Kellner, Vice President Product Line for the Macan, accepted the trophy at the awards ceremony.
“The 850 Phantom Air has the potential to revolutionize the world of boating. Electric powertrains are becoming increasingly important on the water. Frauscher and Porsche have now succeeded in setting a standard in the electric boat sector. We are once again delighted to have won this prestigious award,” said Kellner.
The second model with a closed deck is now available to the public.

At Boat Düsseldorf 2025, the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Phantom, with its closed foredeck and luxurious cabin, was unveiled to the public and attracted a lot of attention.
Prior to this award, the 850 Phantom Air won the “Best Electric” category at the “Best of Boats Awards” held in November 2024. The Best of Boats Awards is known as one of the most prestigious powerboat awards.
The Best of Boat Awards jury, made up of 15 experienced boating journalists from Europe and the United States, explained the reason for its selection, saying, “The 850 Phantom Air is the first boat to combine the performance of a fast and elegant day cruiser with modern, fully electric propulsion.”
At Boat Düsseldorf 2025, Porsche and Frauscher officially unveiled their second collaboration, a fully electric powertrain.
