Welcome to the Fix & Fly Podcast hosted by Larissa Logan from Fixity.
Our guest is Fiona Bycroft, CEO of Naut, a New Zealand company building high-powered electric propulsion systems for boats.
Electric boats aren’t just a future idea — they’re already on the water. With strong performance, lower running costs and real-world use across commercial applications like ferries, tourism and aquaculture, the shift is already underway.
Fiona shares how Naut identified a gap in the market and turned it into a growing business, and why adoption is now starting to accelerate as awareness catches up with the technology. She unpacks what it takes to build in a capital-intensive industry, the importance of partnerships and where the biggest opportunities lie as this space continues to evolve.
