Blue Innovations Group (BIG), a sustainable marine technology company based in Pinellas Park, Florida, USA, is pleased to announce the appointment of Setsail World, SL in Valencia, Spain as an official dealer partner for Spain and Portugal.

This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone for BIG as it prepares to launch its highly anticipated R30 all-electric power boat this fall.

Led by John Vo, the former Global Head of Manufacturing at Tesla, BIG has rapidly emerged as a leader in the all-electric boat industry. The company's first product, the R30, is a 30ft power boat featuring an impressive 221 kWh battery pack, 800 hp, and solar charging capabilities. With its sleek design and innovative features, the R30 has garnered significant attention from both technology and boating enthusiasts worldwide.

Alfredo Pérez Pellicer, CEO of Setsail World, brings invaluable experience in the boating industry and a deep commitment to sustainable boating technologies to this partnership. As a leading dealer and charter provider in Spain and Portugal, Setsail World has established a strong reputation for its expertise in e-mobility maritime and land solutions.

"We're excited to work with Setsail World as our first official dealer in Europe," said John Vo, Founder and CEO of Blue Innovations Group. "Setsail World's extensive knowledge of the boating and e-mobility industries, combined with their unwavering dedication to quality and customer service, make them the ideal partner as we expand our customer base in Europe - the world's second-largest boating market."

Alfredo Pérez founder and CEO of Setsail World, stated, "The R30 perfectly fits the distances typically covered in recreational nautical tourism in Spain and Portugal. With R30's impressive range, this boat can silently navigate longer distances for exploring the stunning coastal landscapes of Spain and Portugal while respecting the delicate balance of the marine environment."
