The first commercial boat of its kind in South Australia, Electric Penguin is a renovated cruise-ship rescue boat which has an electric inboard engine which means no noise, no fuel, no exhaust and no vibration for pure serenity at sea. Electric Penguin operates in the Port River from its berth in the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron (RSAYS) offering half day and full day tours. The vessel is dolphin safe, with a kort nozzle shrouded propeller.
