Pollentia, the next-generation electric boat company founded by Tyler Temple, a U.S. Navy veteran, and Ivan Shterev, a seasoned energy engineer, has introduced Ventus, a revolutionary 40-foot fully electric boat.
Designed to blend advanced technology with sustainability, Pollentia is setting new standards in luxury electric boating, paving the way for eco-friendly marine travel.
Pollentia was born out of a shared mission to bring innovation to an industry in need of change. With experience spanning defense and energy, Temple and Shterev have leveraged their expertise to create an electric boat that meets the modern boater’s demand for performance, elegance, and environmental responsibility. Their flagship model, Ventus, offers a groundbreaking experience for those who value both luxury and sustainability.
“Ventus is the realization of our vision to transform the marine experience,” said Tyler Temple, CEO of Pollentia. “As someone who’s lived and worked on the water, I know firsthand the importance of reliability and precision. Ivan and I set out to design an electric boat that is not only beautiful but also smart, efficient, and entirely electric, for a boating experience that respects the environment.”
Advanced Technology at the Helm: The AI Co-Captain
At the core of Ventus is Pollentia’s exclusive AI Co-Captain, a sophisticated onboard assistant that brings intelligent navigation, real-time diagnostics, collision avoidance, and energy management to the boater’s fingertips. The Co-Captain is designed to adapt to each journey, learning the operator’s preferences and boating style to deliver a seamless and safe experience every time. Unlike traditional systems, the Co-Captain optimizes navigation, route selection, and energy use, providing insights and support for both new and seasoned boaters alike.
The Ventus AI Co-Captain represents Pollentia’s dedication to developing an integrated system that offers unprecedented safety, performance, and ease of use, bringing together the best of technology and luxury. This powerful AI assistant is fully operable through a sleek, 9K touchscreen dashboard, offering intuitive control over navigation, safety alerts, diagnostics, and more—all designed to make boating as effortless as it is enjoyable.
Sustainable Performance with Premium Design
Pollentia’s Ventus is not just a technological marvel; it’s a visual statement. Constructed with aerospace-grade materials, this model features premium finishes like polished wood and stainless steel for an elegant, minimalist interior. Owners can choose from sophisticated color options including Midnight Black, Ocean Blue, Storm Grey, and Classic White, along with custom colors to personalize their experience.
With a range of up to 350 miles on a single charge and a fully electric propulsion system, Ventus offers a smooth, quiet journey that respects both nature and performance expectations. The boat’s powerful battery can handle short-range trips up to 250 miles or long-range journeys reaching 350 miles, with fast charging capabilities that make electric boating practical and efficient.
A Future-Driven Vision for the Boating Industry
Tyler Temple’s experiences in the Navy inspired his commitment to building a more reliable, safer, and environmentally friendly boating experience. “Our goal is to raise the bar in marine technology and electrification, creating boats that integrate seamlessly with the latest AI and sustainable practices,” said Temple.
Pollentia’s expansion plans are ambitious, with a focus on growing their presence internationally and developing a robust infrastructure for sustainable marine travel. Alongside the Ventus, Pollentia is actively researching renewable energy integration to create a fully green boating ecosystem, aiming to shape a future where sustainable luxury is the norm on the water.
