Tower Hobbies is one of the leading sources for quality-built RC boats, parts and accessories. We offer one of the widest selections of RC boating equipment because there is a wide range in skill, hobby and interest levels.

It can be hard to know where to begin when buying your first RC boat and setting out for the water. It’s important to understand your current skill level, along with where you plan on setting sail, in order to find the right RC boat for your needs.

RC Boats for Beginners

There are many models and options available when starting out, so it’s important that you learn a few key areas when it comes to RC boating.

RC Boat Batteries

It’s important to understand your battery life when out on a body of water. An RC boat can and will run out of battery after an extended period of cruising on the water and it’s not fun if you have to fish out the boat yourself once it peters out. Having a second charged battery on hand can be a great way to increase your time out on the water.

RC Boat Controller Limits

In addition to battery life, it’s important to know what the range is on your model’s RC controller – especially on larger bodies of water. A beginner mistake is allowing the boat to get too far away and out of range for picking up the remote-control signal. When looking to purchase a reliable RC boat, it’s important to understand your intended application.

RC Boat Skill Level

Getting the fastest and most agile boat on the water can be fun, but it’s important to recognize your skill level. Fast RC boats can reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour! RC boats can be more difficult to control and just like real boats, the RC boat can be at risk to capsizing. For beginners, you may try to find a boat with adjustable speeds and self-righting systems that help prevent issues from lack of control skill.

Types of RC Boats

We always recommend evaluating what type of hobbyist you are before making a boat purchase? Are you looking for fun, high-speed action or would you prefer a relaxing day at sail? Tower Hobbies offers a wide variety of RC boats, including RC boat kits designed to be built and driven by you. Check out our summaries below to find the right RC boat for your hobby.

Electric RC Boats

Electric RC boats use two types of electric motors – brushed and brushless. (You can learn more about the difference between brushed and brushless motors here). Electric RC boats are easier to get up and running and they are quieter and cleaner than gas RC boats. Electric boats come in a larger variety of sizes and hobby skill levels, whereas gas-powered RC boats tend to be used by intermediate or expert hobbyists.

Gas RC Boats

Gas-powered RC boats are typically larger due to the engine size, and offer increased realism, including smoke and noise of a gas-powered engine. Gas-powered RC boat engines do require some mechanical skills for engine tuning and maintenance but are typically faster and more water-resistant than brushed and brushless electric motors if well-tuned.

RC Sailboats

Remote controlled sailboats use the natural wind for movement and the user controls the boats steering and positioning of sails with a radio transmitter. RC sailboats come in a wide variety of options, including electric motors, which can be valuable when the wind dies down or better maneuverability back to shore.

RC Scale Boats

RC scale boats are based on real world ships, boats and vessels. These are typically sold in kit form, where the user builds the RC model, adds the motor and drive train and then sails the boat on the water. RC scale boat kits require skill in ship building as the model must float (balanced) and be watertight. These projects require significant time investment but can be exceptionally rewarding once completed.

Stay in play and check out our picks for the best magnetic toys , remote-control trucks , and remote-control planes .

The Best RC Boats

• Best Overall: ALPHAREV RC Boat with Case R308
• Best for Beginners: DEERC RC Boat with LED Light
• Most Well-Rounded: Altair Aerial AA102 RC Boat
• Best Value: Force1 Velocity H102
• Best Sailboat: PLAYSTEAM Voyager 400 RC Sailboat

What to Consider

While you can likely get away with using a larger RC boat on a pond or lake, you may want to stick to a smaller model if you’ll be floating yours in a backyard swimming pool or need to pack something tiny. RC boats can be up to two feet long, so make sure to consider the journey to the water, too, especially if the boat you’re eyeing doesn’t come with a carrying case.

Weight and Speed

The RC boat’s weight helps determine how fast it can move. Heavier boats are better equipped to move at high speeds without capsizing, whereas lighter boats can be speedy using less power, a.k.a., slower acceleration. Think of it like torque on a car (or a full-sized boat, for that matter)—the more power the boat gets from the battery, electric, or gas motor, the faster it can accelerate.

Speed is also dependent on the type of hull—some boats are shaped for optimal turning and curves, while others are built for picking up speed while driving in a straight line.

The priciest models can reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. We mostly recommend recreational, battery-powered RC boats that reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour, since the more powerful, expensive models are meant for hardcore hobbyists and professional racers.

Capsize Recovery

Many RC boats have anti-capsize, or capsize recovery, functionality to prevent them from flipping over (and staying overturned). Flipping an RC boat is extremely easy, especially if you lack experience, and can lead to a sinking ship. If you’re new to RC boating, consider grabbing one with capsize recovery, making your boat rebalance and flip back over if it tips.

How We Selected

We researched each model’s speed, customer rating, durability, and unique features. We also consulted buying guides from several top hobbyist publications. We’ve picked options for every type of RC boat customer, whether you’re a casual hobbyist, buying a first boat for your kids, or you’re a dedicated RC enthusiast.

ALPHAREV RC Boat with Case R308

This boat features capsize recovery, so if it tips over or gets hit by a wave, it’ll flip back over to recover. It also has LED lights installed to make it easy to see when it’s dark. Thanks to the autopilot mode that loops the boat into a figure-eight shape, children can easily use it, too.

The R308 comes with two batteries and a charger, with users reporting approximately 20 minutes of power (counting both batteries) when operating the boat at full speed. It has a 400-foot signal range for distance driving and tops at 20 miles per hour. With its carry case, the R308 is a solid RC boat for most users.

Dimensions	15.86 x 9.13 x 5.31 in.
Weight	8 oz.
Speed	20+ mph

DEERC RC Boat with LED Light

This is an excellent option for anyone eager to get into RC boating but unsure of their prowess on the water. It features two autopilot modes, so there’s plenty of opportunity to learn how to use it. It also has an extended playtime of 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to practice.

With features like capsize recovery, double hatch design, and low-battery and signal alarms, this boat is pretty much goof proof, making it the perfect boat for beginners on their way to becoming enthusiasts.

Dimensions	15.98 x 7.44 x 6.77 in.
Weight	2.03 lbs.
Speed	20+ mph

Altair Aerial AA102 RC Boat

If you need a well-rounded RC boat, this one has ample protection, zippy speeds, and excellent customer service, all in one attractive package. Its anti-capsize feature prevents it from tipping over, while several users say its nose bumper saved their boats from getting totaled through crashing.

It has an extra battery for more playtime, and several users say it provides up to 20 minutes of action after swapping it. Users who experienced issues with their boats were able to find replacement parts and products thanks to the company’s customer service help. Others say that it’s a terrific value, though the lack of a carry case is disappointing.

Dimensions	17.32 x 10.12 x 5.98 in.
Weight	1.38 lbs.
Speed	18 mph

Force1 Velocity H102

This boat reaches speeds of 20-plus miles per hour, making it great for anyone who wants their toy to fly on the water. This boat features a capsize recovery mode, a water-cooled engine, and a double-hatched body, making it easier to control on waves. The charge time is a little long, three to four hours, but it can ride for up to 15 minutes at full power.

Customers say this boat reaches top speed fairly quickly, though some report that the controller is difficult to use and not very responsive. Still, it handles well on the water and is a super speedy boat.

Dimensions	10.85 x 2.75 x 2 in.
Weight	5.9 oz.
Speed	20+ mph

PLAYSTEAM Voyager 400 RC Sailboat

If sailing is your preference, the Voyager 400 is the way to go. Rather than rely on an electric motor to push it forward, the Voyager 400 can sail in any body of water via wind power. Its remote controls the rudder and the propulsion, and just in case wind isn’t in the forecast, it comes with a detachable motor to help propel it.

Customers say it’s easy to use, and everything is sealed to keep interior components dry when it tips over. Its rechargeable remote battery can work for up to one hour, which puts most RC speedboats to shame. A drawback, however, is that if it gets stuck at sea without the motor attached, you’ll have to wait for it to wash ashore.

Dimensions	27.25 x 17 x 5.25 in.
Weight	1.34 lbs.
Speed	N/A

Cheerwing RC Racing Boat

Cheerwing RC boats are fantastic if you’re looking for an affordable toy to race with your friends. This boat can hit up to 15 miles per hour and has some great features, including capsize recovery and automatic yaw correction, which rebalances your boat. It also signals when the battery is low or starts to lose signal, giving you peace of mind.

If you want to try RC boating without spending much, this is a solid buy. Its biggest downside is in its battery life—just six to eight minutes per charge—and it doesn’t come with the option to buy a second battery, so it requires frequent recharging.

Dimensions	13.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 in.
Weight	11.4 oz.
Speed	15 mph

VOLANTEXRC Brushless RC Boat

If you need speed and don’t mind investing more money into your hobby, this boat is fantastic. The fastest model on this list, this boat has a top speed of 40 miles per hour, a range of up to 656 feet, and a water-cooled system that prevents the motor from overheating.

It also has safety features to prevent damage from the high speeds, like waterproofing and a one-piece hull to prevent cracks.

The biggest flaw is its lack of capsize recovery, and several users say their boats flipped in action, causing them to swim out to retrieve their toys. It also only comes with one battery.

Dimensions	27.56 x 7.48 x 5.31 in.
Weight	5.39 lbs.
Speed	40 mph

2. Altair AA102 – Best Remote Control Boat for Kids

The AA102 is the perfect RC boat for a child or beginner that is just getting into the rc boat hobby. One of my favorite features on this boat (and on Altair’s AA Wave) is the Anti-Capsize Hull System that ensures the boat will right itself if it flips over in the water. Another great feature for this kids rc boat is that it comes with two batteries which means more playtime for each boating session.

Altair is one of our most recommended products at Dronethusiast because of the company’s attention to detail and their commitment to releasing high quality products. The AA102 is a shining example of that kind of quality.

Many people choose to buy RC boats to be able to race around in the pool. This is a great way to get some amazing use out of RC boats, but it’s important to note that some RC boats may be better for pools than others.

There are many features to consider when searching for a for a remote control pool toy. To start, you will want to make sure that you choose a durable model that it has a waterproof system and will protect the battery and motor from becoming damaged. It’s important that the battery stays dry so you can get a lot of use of it before needing to replace it.

It’s also important to bring safety into account when looking for toy boats for the pool. Since pools are often smaller than lakes and other bodies of water, it’s important that the RC boat doesn’t go too fast and is easy to control. Especially since there may be other people in the water while the boat is being used. Boats that go less than 15 mph are best as they are easier to control and can keep the driver and anyone else in the water safe.

The same goes with the size of the RC boat. Try looking for a smaller boat that won’t take up a ton of space in the water. That way people can enjoy driving their RC pool boat without running into swimmers and other people in the water.

5. Paradise Treasures RC Racing Boat Battle Set

We get it, so that’s why we wanted to include some of our top RC boat picks for beginners in this article. Hopefully, we can help narrow down your choices a bit and make your decision a bit easier. These boats are great for any new racer and kids too.

What To Look For When Buying An RC Boat

Costs are something we always encourage our readers to take into account when buying a new hobby toy. For RC boats, we understand that you may be itching to get the best of the best. But buying the newest and best boat can result in a steep price tag. We don’t want you to break the bank buying a boat for the first time, so we recommend not spending more than $200 on your first boat. RC boats for beginners usually cost less than this and you’ll probably have the best luck looking for an electric RC boat. They are easy to maintain and are more affordable than a gas RC boat.

Another important factor of buying an RC boat that you should take into account is speed. Beginner RC boats often travel at speeds of 5 to 30mph. While this may seem slow to you, we recommend purchasing a boat in this range as faster RC boats can be harder to control. For a beginner or child to be able to easily maneuver their RC boat a slower speed is best, and trust us, they are still full of fun. You can always upgrade your boat to be faster once you become more comfortable and master the controls.

This is perhaps one of the main components to look at when buying an RC boat. For beginners, you will want a boat that is easy to handle and won’t leave you feeling stressed or discouraged. Luckily, we have found many RC boats for beginners that are easy to maneuver and still have some great speed.

As a beginner, it can be difficult to open your new RC boat and find there is a complicated and lengthy assembly process. That’s why we recommend looking for a boat that is ready to run. There are a lot of RC boats for beginners that come pre-assembled where all you have to do is insert the batteries. You don’t have to worry about the hassle of installing a propeller or motor. For beginners and kids, this can make driving RC boats much easier and get you on the water much faster.

How do toy RC boats work?

Here’s how toy RC boats work: first, the transmitter or mobile device being used to control the boat sends a radio signal to a receiver on the vehicle itself. Then, the receiver interprets the signal and reads the command – turn right, go forward, etc. That command is then sent to the boat’s motor, which does whatever you told it to do (provided the controls work as intended.)

Are there saltwater remote control boats for kids?

No. Remote control boats for kids are not designed to be used in saltwater, and their electrical parts will rust and experience damage if they are used in this fashion.

Most remote control boats for kids will only last for about 10 to 15 minutes at most. The exact duration will depend on battery capacity, speed of operation, and range of the controller. A bigger capacity battery will power a boat for a longer period. However, boats for kids are generally designed with safety first in mind, and tend to be smaller and less powerful than RC boats designed for adults.

RC Boat: T24 Tug

The T24 Tugboat is a beautiful, classic wooden tug that is both practical and charming in its traditional design. At 24 inches long, the Tug is easy to transport, but big enough to handle heavy seas and rough weather on big lakes or open bays. The RC Tugboat is electric powered with a full power radio and runs in both forward and reverse. Originally designed to place marks for model sailboat racing, the Tug is very maneuverable which makes it great for running obstacle courses, chasing swimmers, and rescuing other boats as well! Whether used as a work tug during races or a cruising pleasure vessel, this RC boat is sure to delight.

The Tug was designed to be extremely seaworthy; the traditional hull design allows the weight of the electric driving motor and the batteries to be placed low in the hull for ultimate stability. A remarkable feature of the hull design is that, when running at a certain speed, the shape of the hull causes the water to move around the boat in such a way only the bottom of the Tug is in contact with the water and the sides are left virtually dry! In this mode the tug moves through the water easily and very fast. The bottom of the tug is shaped like a wave and the water around it takes on a similar wave shape, which is very beautiful to see in still water.  

The T24 RC Tugboat is an exceptional rescue boat for saving your sailboats that sailed out of range or are stuck in bushes or on a distant shore. If your sailboat is stuck in bushes or a shore, the Tug, along with a  Retrieval Arm  that is an optional addition to your kit, can rescue the sailboat and allow you to continue your sailing fun. The Retrieval Arm sticks out to the side of the tug and hooks on the forestay of the boat to be rescued. Once hooked, the arm swings back and tows the rescued boat behind the Tug. The Tug’s radio range is considerably more than that of Tippecanoe RC Sailboats because the Tug’s antenna is slightly higher up inside the wheelhouse. The placement of the antenna higher above the water extends the effective range. Due to this, the Tug can also rescue your sailboat if it has sailed out of range. Since it is difficult to time the approach right to catch the forestay with a distant perspective, a different rescue method is used for long distance rescues. We recommend using a Styrofoam float on a 10 foot line and circling the boat to be rescued once or twice. This allows the line to catch the keel of the sailboat and be towed in. The Styrofoam float keeps the sailboat above water.  

The T24 Tug Kit comes with everything you will need to build the boat, including the marine epoxy and all of the RC gear. In fact, all you need is paint or varnish and AA batteries! The T24 Tug kit is easy to build and includes:

• Hull, deck, and cabin pieces pre-cut to an accuracy of 1/1000 of an inch from the highest grade of marine Okume plywood
• Marine-grade hardware
• Decorative ¾ oz. Nylon Spinnaker cloth streamer
• Marine-grade WEST System epoxy, along with epoxy brushes and syringes
• Transmitter
• Rechargeable Battery Pack and Charger
• Electronic Speed Controller
• Brushed Motor
• Three-blade Propeller and Shaft
• Excellent, detailed building instructions to guide you through the entire building process

The Tug can be purchased individually or in a package that includes the Tug, Barge, and Marks Kits. This package includes everything you need to set RC Sailboat Racing Marks . The Racing Marks is a set of 5 weighed flags on buoys which are placed in the water to set a course for racing your Tippecanoe RC Sailboats. The Mark-Setting Barge is designed to be towed behind the T24 Tug and carries the Racing Mark out to the desired location before releasing the Mark. More detailed descriptions of the Racing Marks and Barge are available on their designated pages. This package is a great addition to any remote controlled sailboat fleet, and makes racing easier, faster, and more fun!

Please call 1-360-966-7245, or  email [email protected] , if you have further questions about this beautiful boat. Happy Sailing!
