Who We Are

Who Are We?
Blade Outboards is a high-technology marine engineering company driven by precision, innovation, and an uncompromising focus on performance. With deep American engineering heritage, our team brings decades of experience in high-performance product development, advanced manufacturing, and system reliability at the highest level.

Founded by engineers who grew up on the water—on coastlines like Anna Maria Island, Florida—Blade merges a lifelong connection to marine life with technical expertise. Our mission is to redefine marine propulsion with electric systems that perform flawlessly and raise the standard for the entire industry.

A Legacy of Engineering Excellence
Blade was built on a foundation of world-class engineering. Our team includes veterans of SpaceX, aerospace pioneers, and top technology firms—equipping us to solve complex challenges in marine propulsion with rigor and creativity.

Our shareholders also own aerospace manufacturing facilities with over 15 years of experience producing high-precision, high-reliability components. This background directly informs our approach, ensuring every outboard is built to aerospace-grade standards of durability and performance.

Engineered for Innovation
Blade was conceived to push boundaries. From the outset, we've combined sustainability with cutting-edge engineering—leveraging advanced materials, robust systems architecture, and industrial manufacturing methods proven in the world’s most demanding environments.

Expertise in 3D printing, composite materials, and precision manufacturing empowers us to rethink propulsion from first principles. After years of prototyping and rigorous testing, we've perfected a system engineered for peak performance and real-world durability. Every unit is fully validated and certified to CE and UKCA standards.

Cross-Industry Expertise
We draw on knowledge from fields where failure is not an option:

• Aerospace propulsion and systems engineering

• Electric mobility and energy storage

• Industrial design and system integration

• Advanced manufacturing and materials science

This multidisciplinary experience drives innovation far beyond traditional marine technologies, enabling substantial gains in performance, efficiency, and reliability.

Blade serves customers ranging from recreational boaters to commercial operators—delivering unmatched power, consistency, and endurance across applications.

Quality by Design
At Blade, quality isn’t bolted on—it’s built in from the first sketch to final assembly. Every product undergoes rigorous real-world validation to ensure it meets the highest standards. We never cut corners, and we never settle.

With numerous patents and trademarks pending, Blade is helping shape the future of electric marine propulsion with proprietary technologies that set us apart.

Built for the Real World
Innovation means nothing without field-tested dependability. Whether used for weekend cruising or critical operations, Blade systems are engineered to excel under pressure—offering cutting-edge performance without sacrificing reliability.

End-to-End Control
All Blade technologies are developed in-house. We don’t rely on third-party components for mission-critical systems. From electronics to firmware to mechanical assemblies, every element is designed, built, and refined by our team—giving us complete control over performance, reliability, and continuous improvement.

Our Philosophy
We live by a single principle: never compromise. Blade exists to deliver products that redefine what’s possible in marine propulsion—combining elite engineering, long-term serviceability, and industry-leading support.

We don’t just build advanced systems—we build trust. And that’s what drives us: earning it, keeping it, and backing it with real-world performance, every time.
