What's up YouTube? Today we bring you some of the coolest personal watercrafts
out there, but these aren't just your run-of-the-mill speedboats, these are
anything from electric to being able to dive underwater.
Number Ten
The SC3
This crazy watercraft is a mix between a speedboat and a personal submersible.
Being compact, lightweight, and capable of carrying three people, the scuba craft
SC3 is the world's most advanced watercraft, making the undersea more
accessible than ever before. With weight of just 860 pounds, the scuba craft SC3
operates as the ultimate yacht tender, and is easily hoisted on the deck. The
craft is powered by a hundred and 60 horsepower inline four-cylinder
four-stroke engine with water jet drive. The engine shuts down underwater to
keep the craft airtight switching to four electric thrusters and batteries. In
addition to that when submerging two large inflatable tubes located within
the hall are deflated.
Number Nine
The Evo 43
What do you do when you combine
luxury and speed? You get a speedboat that transforms into a mini yacht. With
its stylish cabins and its ability to transform into a sundeck to get a nice
tan, or just to enjoy the weather. You most definitely will not feel cramped
like most other boats. There are two engine systems available. The Volvo Penta
IPS 600 with the total 870 horsepower or the Volvo Penta IPS 500 which has about
740 horsepower. With either engines you are guaranteed at least a max of 30 to
38 knots. The Eva 43 just won't feel like you are on a cruise ship but more like
you are the king of the world.
Number Eight
The Jet Capsule
So if you don't
have a million-plus dollars just laying around to spend it on a yacht, you can
just buy a jet capsule. It's only like one one-hundredth of the size of a yacht
and cost only $250,000. Ok, ok, I'm being a little sarcastic here. The jet capsule is
known as the water UFO. Well, because it looks like your classic UFO,
but floats on water. This crazy-looking bow is 25 feet long, 11 feet wide, and is
large enough to see up to 8 passengers. It has furnished floors and has a bedroom
conversion feature, to go along with its bathroom and optional kitchen
compartment. The jet capsule is powered by a 300 horsepower engine and is said
to travel as fast as 25 knots.
Number Seven
The Iguana 29
We featured this on one of
our tracked vehicle videos about a week ago, but because how interesting the
design is, we thought we'd feature on this video as well. I mean it's a luxury
boat that has all-terrain capabilities. You can literally drive this boat into
the water, or even drive it out of the water, so there is really no need for
launching it via a vehicle with a trailer. They do offer a few different
styles that will fit anyone interested in a new boat. or just something that
stands out from everyone else's boat.
Number Six
The Q2-S Quadra Foil
This is
one of my favorite designs. It's pretty small compared to your typical speedboat,
but still has the power. The Quadra foil Q2-S is an all-electric personal
watercraft and has a range of about 60 miles on a single charge. It's easily
steered, is allegedly unsinkable, we know what happened to the last ship that said that. It
sits two and features an anti-collision system that will reduce impact forces in
case you run into something. Of course, it isn't the cheapest but it's $25,000
price tag really isn't all that bad compared to other watercraft in the same
market.
Number Five
The Hyper Sub
The Hyper Sub is another hybrid between a
speedboat and a submersible. This one is a bit different from the scuba craft
though. As a speedboat the hyper sub is a high-speed, long-range surface craft,,
that deploys with ease from any dock or beach and can travel long distances. It
has two 480 horsepower yammer 6LY-3 ETP
diesel engines, and a cruising speed of about 38 miles per hour. Providing the
same usefulness independent versatility and economy as that of any other
long-range 900 horsepower speed boat. As a submarine hyper sub provides on-demand
deep dive and high-performance submarine capabilities. Hyper Sub can dive
repeatedly when deployed, given its ability to recharge its batteries, and
dive air. It provides protection from its crew from changes in pressure and
environment. The result is a submarine that deploys, travels and operates just as
easily, quickly, and inexpensively, as any of the other surface craft out there.
Number Four
The 750 Saint-Tropez
Do you want something that is just pure luxury
and eco-friendly? If so, the 750 Saint-Tropez is it. The luxury Rotter-
craft is the all-electric flagship from Frasure yachts. The 750 Saint-Tropez is
silent and majestic. You immediately sense that it combines technical
expertise and top quality fittings. Easy handling stability and superb design
were also behind the choice of the name. The 750 Saint-Tropez has been impressing
the most demanding yachting enthusiasts ever since her launch.
Number Three
The Ego SE
The Eco SE is a compact, semi submarine, hailing from South Korea.
The half-submerged boat creates a luxurious yacht feel on top with an underwater
panoramic view below deck. The floating hauls allow the boat to
remain buoyant and provides users with a swimming platform to enjoy nature from
above. The best part, the electric motors of the Ego do not contribute harmful
environmental pollutants, and it's quiet enough to not interfere with surrounding
aquatic life.
Number Two
The Solaris Global Cruiser
Now this one's not necessarily a
personal watercraft, but if you have the money to buy it, I would consider it
personal. The Solaris Global Cruiser is a luxury motor
yacht, that utilizes solar power as its fuel source. This conceptual cruiser
solar panel and battery technology applies Moore's law, a computational
processing law first observed by Intel co-founder, Gordon Moore. The solar panels
charge its battery banks which can be charged while docked. An alcohol turbine
generator extends sailing distance or adds power for shorter faster bursts. A
solar panel cooling system can double to be used to provide hot water for
passengers. While many luxury yachts can only travel short distances before
needing to be refueled, the Solaris uses inactivity to keep the vessel fully
fueled. It tops off during periods of travel.
Unlike traditionally fueled luxury yachts that are only hazardous to the
environment, but loud and dirty, the Solaris can travel quietly for long
periods at top speed. It is set for release in 2020, but this green yacht
will set you back about twenty-five million dollars.
Number One
The MK1-C
Based on a World War II project called the MSC sleeping beauty, by Sir Quintin
Reeves, Ortega's submersibles has redefined this
remarkable way of underwater travel, by using highly advanced naval technology.
Powered by two 10 kilowatt electric thrusters, it is capable of high surface
and submerged speed. An onboard trimming system and air supply make it possible
to extend bottom lines. Each sub has a variety of dopplers, sonars, and other
sensors, to suit your needs. All onboard equipment supports dive depths up to 310
feet.
