PARTNERS
Q-SPD has partnered with Makai Yachts to deliver a superior propulsion package, that perfectly complements Makai's innovative hull design.
By integrating the Q-SPD surface drive with Makai's high-performance vessels, we create a unique synergy that unlocks enhanced performance and exceptional fuel efficiency. Makai's commitment to cutting-edge naval architecture provides the ideal platform to showcase the Q-SPD's core benefits: reduced maintenance and improved reliability and longevity.
Makai chose Q-SPD because our simple, clean design ingeniously places all vulnerable components inboard, safe from the harsh marine elements. This reduced part count naturally guarantees less to go wrong, securing the long-term reliability that Makai owners demand.
“We chose Q-SPD because it’s a ‘zero-maintenance’ system that provides our customers with peace of mind and gives us a true competitive edge.”

Q-SPD has collaborated with eD-TEC to engineer the groundbreaking eD-QDrive 1, a fully integrated electric powerhouse developed for vessels from 6 to 10 meters. This partnership fuses Q-SPD's expertise in robust, high-performance surface drive technology with eD-TEC's innovative electric modular platform.
The result is a system that delivers fascinating performance and efficiency while prioritizing safety and versatility. The eD-QDrive 1 features a surface piercing propulsion system designed to integrate seamlessly, with a minimal footprint that allows for twin-engine installation even on the smallest transoms. Furthermore, the drive's body and twin flanking rudders offer superior protection from the propellers, making it safer for swimmers and enabling the use of closed swim platforms for quieter operation.
