Frauscher Bootswerft GmbH & Co KG

Since 1927, Frauscher has produced luxury motorboats and electric boats renowned for their sleek design and advanced technology. Their 1212 Ghost and electric 650 Alassio models feature fully welded aluminum hulls, carbon-fibre superstructures, and proprietary electric propulsion systems with integrated shore-power charging. Production is vertically integrated: from aluminium press-forming and robotic welding to in-house assembly of electric drivetrains and bespoke teak decking. Frauscher’s gigafactory in Upper Austria houses a climate-controlled composite shop and a marine-grade anodizing line for aluminium components, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.

Frauscher controls every manufacturing stage—hull jigging, lamination, outfitting—achieving exceptional fit-and-finish. Their “engineers of emotions” ethos extends to personalized customer service: global distributors coordinate sea trials, custom upholstery, and onboard systems integration (navigation, entertainment). Despite limited annual output (under 100 boats), Frauscher’s premium pricing and strong aftermarket (maintenance, refit, upgrades) ensure sustainable growth. Ongoing R&D into hydrogen fuel cells and next-generation electric drive further cements their role as a pioneer in luxury sustainable boating.
