A remote-controlled boat is pure sailing joy – Morfar helps you on your way
There’s something truly special about standing by the shore of a tranquil lake and unleashing the power of a speedy remote-controlled boat. The sound of the little engine working and the sight of the boat slicing through the water—it's a hobby that combines speed, technique, and heaps of fun outdoors. Whether you call it an RC boat, a radio-controlled boat, or a remote-controlled boat, the feeling is the same: Pure excitement.
At Morfar’s, we’re perfectly honest about what you’re getting for your money. A remote-controlled boat for 500 DKK can provide fantastic entertainment and is a perfect entry into the hobby. It's fun, easy to get started with, and can offer many enjoyable hours by the water. A model for 5000 DKK is a whole different world. Here, you typically get a more powerful motor (often brushless), a more advanced build, and a top speed that will impress even the most seasoned enthusiasts. We never oversell—we help you find exactly the boat that suits your temperament and your budget.
One of the most crucial things we can teach you about remote-controlled boats is this: Always sail in freshwater! Saltwater is a direct enemy to the electronics and metal parts of your boat. The salt corrodes and quickly destroys the delicate components. So, stick to lakes, rivers, and other freshwater areas to ensure your boat stays in top shape season after season. That’s the best advice we can give to protect your investment.
Our selection ranges widely—from the agile little speedboat perfect for kids and beginners to the larger and more advanced models that demand their captain. Take a look around, read about the different models, and remember, we're always ready at the keyboard if you need good advice.
Which remote-controlled boat should I choose as a beginner?
As a beginner, we recommend a "Ready-to-Run" (RTR) model. These come assembled and ready to use straight out of the box, often with everything you need. Go for a reasonably sized boat that isn't too fast. This makes it easier to control and more robust if you hit the edge. Check out the Storm V8 for a beginner-friendly option.
Can I use my RC boat in the sea?
No, we strongly advise against it. All our remote-controlled boats are designed for use in freshwater (lakes, rivers, ponds). Saltwater contains salt and minerals that will quickly destroy the electronics, motor, and other metal parts of your boat. To ensure your boat lasts a long time, keep it far away from saltwater.
How fast can a remote-controlled boat go?
Speed varies greatly. Beginner models typically sail between 10-25 km/h, which is plenty fast to be fun and educational. The more advanced hobby models with brushless motors, on the other hand, can reach speeds of 60-80 km/h or even more. The top speed depends on the motor, hull design, battery, and propeller.
What do "RTR" and "Brushless" mean?
RTR stands for "Ready-to-Run". It means the boat comes pre-assembled with a remote control, and you typically only need batteries to start sailing. "Brushless" refers to a type of electric motor that's more efficient, powerful, and durable than traditional "Brushed" motors. Boats with brushless motors are generally faster and more expensive.
How do I maintain my remote-controlled boat?
Great question! After each sailing trip, you should thoroughly dry the boat, both outside and inside. Open the hull and ensure everything is dry to avoid mold and bad odors. It's also a good idea to regularly lubricate the propeller shaft with marine grease to ensure it runs smoothly and keeps water out. Also, check that all screws are tightened.
