The distance was covered in 30 continuous trips between Goring Thames Sailing Club and Wallingford. It took 30 hours from noon on Monday until 6pm on Tuesday.
Emrhys Barrell, the managing director of the Thames Electric Launch Company which fitted the boat's batteries, said: "It's great to have achieved this."
