Zyvex Marine is a division of Zyvex Technologies, a molecular engineering company. Zyvex Marine develops boats that use Zyvex Technologies' proprietary nanomaterials.

History

Zyvex Marine was formally announced as a division of Zyvex Technologies on November 4, 2011. It is headquartered in Bothell, Washington. Zyvex Marine launched its first production boat on November 4, 2011.

In 2009, prior to becoming a formal division, Zyvex Marine created the world's first commercialized carbon nanotube enhanced (CNTe) carbon fiber prototype vessel called the 540SE. It was designed to offer a 75% reduction in fuel consumption costs based on lightweight nanomaterials used in its hull design.

In 2010, it created the first prototype vessel called the Piranha Unmanned Surface Vessel, which is a 54-foot (16.4 meter) boat made out of the same lightweight nanomaterials as the 540SE.

In 2011, Zyvex shipped its first production craft, a 54-foot lightweight boat.^[1]
