The RAND Sport 26 is a technologically advanced electric sport yacht from Danish builder RAND Boats, combining a premium open deck, smart automation features and multiple powertrain options in a compact 8-meter hull.
What makes the RAND Sport 26 different?
RAND Boats has built a reputation in Denmark for producing electric-first yachts with a design language that prioritizes clean lines, quality materials and purposeful innovation. The Sport 26 extends that reputation with features rarely seen on a boat of this size: an electric fold-out bimini top, a button-operated bathing ladder and an automatically ejecting anchor, all controlled through a central touchscreen infotainment system. At 8 meters in length and just over 1,100 kg without an engine, the Sport 26 is light enough to reward careful powertrain selection.
Powertrain options: electric, diesel and gasoline
RAND Boats offers three distinct engine configurations to suit different use cases. The gasoline outboard option runs from 115 to 350 hp. An inboard diesel or gasoline variant covers 170 to 350 hp. Two electric options are also available: an inboard electric unit producing 80 to 160 hp and an outboard electric rated at 80 hp. The electric configurations make the Sport 26 one of the more credible electric production boats available in the 8-meter class, with the inboard variant offering meaningful performance for coastal and harbor use.
Deck, interior and onboard comfort
The Sport 26 deck is finished with premium materials throughout, with elegant wood panels covering the floor, a mini kitchen counter and a folding table. Twelve seating positions are arranged across the main deck alongside the captain's station. The compact galley includes a full-size refrigerator and a dedicated champagne cooler. Below deck, the Sport 26 features underwater LED light panels, a cabin and cockpit central heating system, and a hi-fi audio setup, all operated from the central touchscreen. The combination of an automated anchor, powered bimini and heated cockpit gives the boat a level of onboard automation that competes with much larger vessels.
An electric sport yacht built for quality
RAND Boats takes a slow and deliberate approach to production, prioritizing reliability and build quality over speed to market. The Sport 26 was targeted to arrive in late 2017 and was positioned as a summer boat for locations like Monaco, the Adriatic and the Scandinavian fjords.
