Awake RÄVIK Explore
The Beginner-Friendly Electric Surfboard for Longer Sessions on the Water
The Awake RÄVIK Explore is a surface-riding electric jetboard built for riders who want the longest possible sessions with the easiest possible learning curve. With a 121 L Dual Channel hull that delivers genuine stability under the feet, an 11 kW powertrain, and up to 60 minutes of ride time on a single Flex battery pack, the Explore gives charter guests an approachable, low-fatigue introduction to the Awake platform — no instructor required on board.
Positioned by Awake as "the beginner friendly electric surfboard" with "unmatched stability and a heavy weight capacity," the Explore is the longest-runtime jetboard in the current RÄVIK lineup. That makes it the right pick for superyachts that want guests to actually ride — rotating confidently through the swim platform rather than watching a more powerful board sit on charge.

Longest Ride Time in the RÄVIK Range
At up to 60 minutes per charge, the Explore runs 15 minutes longer than the Adventure and 25 minutes longer than the Ultimate. That translates to more guest sessions per charging cycle and less downtime between rotations.
High-Volume Dual Channel Hull
At 121 L, the Explore has more than double the volume of the Ultimate (51 L). Combined with the Dual Channel hull, this delivers the stability new riders need to stand up, balance, and accelerate on their first session — Awake describes it as "unmatched stability" and "minimal learning time."
Same 11 kW Powertrain, Approachable Top End
The Explore shares the same 11 kW motor as the Adventure and Ultimate, but its 40 kph top speed is geared for cruising and confidence rather than peak performance. Crew and guests get the full Awake build quality without the steeper skill demands of the faster siblings.
Why the Awake RÄVIK Explore for Your Superyacht?
Most electric surfboards fielded on superyachts are specified for the wrong user. Captains and toy buyers tend to pick the fastest, highest-spec board in a brand's lineup — then watch charter guests stall, fall, and abandon the toy after one or two runs. The Awake RÄVIK Explore is built for the opposite reality. Its 121 L Dual Channel hull gives a first-time rider enough volume to stand up on attempt one or two, and its 40 kph top speed is more than enough for the cruising arcs and wake-crossings that make a guest smile on a swim-platform session.
The 60-minute ride time is the other reason the Explore works for yacht programmes. On a charter rotation, the board that runs longest is the board that actually gets used. At 60 minutes per Flex battery pack, the Explore delivers 33% more runtime than the Adventure and 71% more than the Ultimate, so crew can keep guests on the water instead of on charge. With spare Flex batteries, the Explore becomes effectively continuous for a full afternoon of guest sessions.
Mercer Yachting supplies the Awake RÄVIK Explore as an authorised Awake reseller, with full 2-year manufacturer warranty, setup, and crew handover. We deliver to Malta directly and to every major Mediterranean yachting hub — Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, Monaco, Genoa, Athens, and Split — with worldwide freight to any nominated port or yacht agent. Our water-toys team can bundle the Explore with an Awake RÄVIK Adventure or Ultimate to cover both beginner and performance-focused guests on the same fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the RÄVIK Explore different from the RÄVIK Adventure?
The Explore and the Adventure share the same 11 kW powertrain, but they are tuned for different riders. The Explore has a 121 L Dual Channel hull, a 40 kph top speed, and up to 60 minutes of ride time — Awake positions it as the beginner-friendly board with "unmatched stability." The Adventure has a smaller 71 L V-shape hull, a higher 50 kph top speed, and up to 45 minutes of ride time, described by Awake as "expedition-grade" for experienced riders wanting noticeable performance over earlier RÄVIK generations.
How is the Explore different from the RÄVIK Ultimate?
The Ultimate is Awake's top-performance jetboard: a 51 L Dual Channel hull, 55 kph top speed, 16 kg board weight, and up to 35 minutes of ride time — described by Awake as the "pinnacle of jetboard performance" with "razor-sharp agility." The Explore prioritises the opposite: stability under the feet (121 L vs 51 L), longer sessions (60 vs 35 minutes), and a more forgiving 40 kph top end. Most superyachts running a mixed guest profile buy the Explore as the first board and add an Ultimate for performance-focused riders.
What does the Explore feel like to ride?
With a 121 L Dual Channel hull and a 40 kph ceiling, the Explore feels planted, predictable, and confidence-building. Awake describes it as "intuitive" with "minimal learning time" and states that "no instructor needed, minimal supervision required." Riders tend to be standing and cruising within one or two sessions, and the long ride time lets them keep practising instead of sitting on a charger.
How does a jetboard differ from an eFoil like the VINGA?
A jetboard — including the entire RÄVIK range — rides directly on the water's surface, propelled by an electric water-jet. An eFoil (VINGA) uses a hydrofoil that lifts the board above the water, creating a silent flying sensation. Jetboards are typically faster at the top end and more intuitive for riders coming from surfing, wakeboarding, or skateboarding. eFoils have a steeper learning curve but deliver a very different sensation and typically run longer on a single charge. The Explore is a jetboard.
How long does the battery last and what's included?
The RÄVIK Explore runs on Awake's Flex XR battery system with up to 60 minutes of ride time per pack — the longest ride time in the current RÄVIK lineup. A complete package from Awake includes the board, Flex battery, Flex Hand Controller, charger, fins, foot straps, and board bag. Spare Flex battery packs can be added, which is the standard way superyachts achieve continuous afternoon guest rotations.
Do you deliver the RÄVIK Explore to Malta and the Mediterranean?
Yes. Mercer Yachting is based in Marsaskala, Malta and delivers the Awake RÄVIK Explore directly to yachts berthed at Grand Harbour, Valletta, Vittoriosa, Portomaso, and Mġarr Marina — as well as to every major Mediterranean yachting hub: Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, Monaco, Genoa, Athens, and Split. Worldwide freight is available by air or sea to any nominated port or agent.
What warranty does the Awake RÄVIK Explore come with?
Awake ships the RÄVIK Explore with a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering the board, motor, and drivetrain. Mercer Yachting handles warranty registration, any subsequent claims, and coordination with Awake's Swedish service centre on behalf of the yacht.
Is the RÄVIK Explore genuinely beginner-safe?
Awake's own positioning for the RÄVIK Explore is "the beginner friendly electric surfboard" with "unmatched stability," "minimal learning time," and "no instructor needed, minimal supervision required." The 121 L volume, Dual Channel hull, and 40 kph top speed make it the most approachable board Awake currently produces. For charter programmes, we still recommend that crew deliver a brief safety briefing and helmet/impact-vest protocol before every guest session.
