GONDOLAS WEST LLC
FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

Obviously, our location and tour is very different from that of Venice, but I still really feel that our boat and tour had “echos” of an Italian gondola ride. The word echo also embodies a sense of serenity from the outside world, and the feedback one gets from their natural environment. This is very evident when you cruise with us on the canals of Ft. Lauderdale. ēCHO is a nearly silent electric boat without the vibration or fumes of an internal combustion engine. This was also very important to me because I wanted to show people some of the canals that others don’t see while not being intrusive to the homeowners along the canals. Of course when you see the long "ē" on her stern you’ll note that you can pronounce the name "EEKO," a play on the environmentally-friendly way we'll be seeing the canals and waterways. As an electric boat we have zero emissions and leave no footprint on the environment.
