## Resource

What does the future of Great Loop cruising look like—and will it be electric? While electric boats are making waves and the market is growing fast, the big question remains: can they handle the demands of the Loop today? In this episode, we sit down with Erick Pinzon of Electrified Marina to explore where electric boating stands right now—and where it’s headed. From emerging technology and industry trends to real-world limitations like range, speed, and charging infrastructure, Erick breaks down what’s possible today and what’s just over the horizon. If you’ve ever wondered when an electric boat might truly rival the comfort and capability of today’s popular Looping vessels, this conversation offers a candid and insightful look at what’s coming next. The Great Loop is the boating adventure of a lifetime. Loopers follow the 6,000-mile route in their own boats, cruising up the east coast, into the Great Lakes, through the inland rivers, and through the Gulf of Mexico. Learn more at www.greatloop.org.
