Request a quoteThe Flying Shark 5.7 Classic is a 6.1 m electric day boat from the Polish builder VTS Boats, seating six, with a closed foredeck rather than the bow seating of the Bowrider version. It is listed here in the entry electric package: a 6 kW motor and an 8 kWh battery with a six-hour charge time, priced from €41,150. The hull weighs 650 kg and VTS offers the same platform with considerably more powerful drives.

What a buyer should know
What you are choosing between
VTS Boats' Flying Shark 5.7 Classic and the Bowrider are the same 6.1 m hull with different deck layouts, separated by €600. The Classic keeps a closed foredeck: less passenger seating, but a drier boat, better stowage and a cleaner working area for anchoring and mooring. If you mostly go out as a couple or a small family and value the practicality, the Classic is the more sensible of the two; if the boat's job is to carry six people comfortably, pay the €600.
The drivetrain is the entry package
Six kilowatts and 8 kWh define this boat far more than the hull does. At continuous full output the pack lasts around eighty minutes, and rather longer at an easy cruise — enough for an afternoon on a lake, not enough for a full day without a charge. The six-hour charge time implies an ordinary domestic supply, which is fine overnight at a lakeside house and awkward if you want to go out twice in a day. VTS also sells this platform with much larger electric drives, so if you want performance from it, this is not the specification to buy.
Caveats
Speed and endurance are published in kilometres per hour and hours only, so no knots or nautical miles figure appears here — that is the builder's choice, not a gap in our data. At €41,150 for 6 kW this is expensive per kilowatt, and the price is likely net of VAT; confirm that, and confirm what the standard equipment list includes, before comparing it with anything else.
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.
