Request a quoteThe Flying Shark 4.2 Classic is a 4.25-metre electric runabout from the Polish builder VTS Boats, the smallest model in the Flying Shark range. It weighs 240 kg, carries four people, and uses a 12 kW motor with a 10 kWh battery. VTS positions it as trailerable and, in many jurisdictions, usable without a boating licence, and publishes performance in kilometres per hour and endurance in hours rather than in knots and nautical miles.

What a buyer should know
The entry point
The Flying Shark 4.2 Classic is the smallest and simplest way into VTS Boats' Flying Shark range, and its case rests on access rather than capability. At 240 kg it tows behind an ordinary car and launches on a slipway without help, and in many European jurisdictions a craft of this power can be operated without a licence — worth confirming for your own country, since the thresholds vary. For a lakeside house, a holiday home, or a superyacht looking for a very small tender, that combination is the point.
What the numbers imply
A 10 kWh pack and 12 kW motor in a 240 kg hull is a well-matched small system: enough power to be genuinely lively for its size, with a pack that will support a relaxed afternoon at moderate speed and drain quickly if driven hard. Four people is a nominal figure at 4.25 metres — treat it as two adults plus children in practice.
Caveats
VTS publishes speed in km/h and endurance in hours only, with no nautical-mile range, so direct comparison against British or Scandinavian rivals requires conversion and some assumptions. No charging time is published for this model. VTS also builds combustion versions of every Flying Shark, so confirm the drivetrain on any quotation.
