SACRAMENTO, Calif. — July 24, 2026 — Electric Boat Captain, the new lifestyle brand and community celebrating the future of electric boating, today announced the launch of its Captains for Tomorrow initiative, a long-term commitment to donate 2% of annual profits to support high school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs across the United States.

“Electric boats represent the future of recreational and commercial boating,” said Ollie Danner, Founder of Electric Boat Captain. “We believe every purchase should help create that future. By donating 2% of our profits to STEM education, we’re investing in the students who will become tomorrow’s engineers, naval architects, marine technicians, software developers, and environmental leaders.”

Funds from the Captains for Tomorrow initiative will be used to help schools and educational organizations expand opportunities in areas including:
- Robotics and engineering programs
- Marine technology education
- Clean energy and sustainability curriculum
- Electric vehicle and battery technology
- Computer science and software development
- Environmental science
- Maritime career exploration
- Student innovation competitions
- Classroom equipment and maker spaces
- Scholarships and educator support
Electric Boat Captain plans to partner with school districts, nonprofit organizations, career technical education (CTE) programs, and industry leaders to maximize the impact of the initiative.
More Than a Lifestyle Brand
Electric Boat Captain was created to inspire people to embrace electric boating while building a global community around cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable experiences on the water.
From branded apparel and community events to social media campaigns and electric boat demonstrations, the brand aims to make electric boating accessible, exciting, and aspirational for boaters of all ages.
The company’s signature “Earn Your Captain’s Hat” campaign encourages participants to test drive or own an electric boat, celebrate their experience, and become ambassadors for the future of boating.
“Today’s students will shape tomorrow’s waterways,” Danner added. “If we want cleaner lakes, healthier oceans, and more innovative marine technology, we need to invest in education today.”
A Purchase with Purpose
Beginning with the company’s official launch, every Electric Boat Captain purchase—including apparel, hats, hoodies, accessories, and future merchandise collections—will contribute toward funding STEM education through the Captains for Tomorrow initiative.
The company also plans to collaborate with marine manufacturers, dealerships, marinas, and corporate partners to expand educational outreach and provide students with hands-on learning opportunities in marine electrification, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing.
