- [Glen] From a boat that can be driven underwater,
to a raft that acts like a jet ski, and even a submarine!
There are some pretty cool options when it comes to boating.
I'm Glen, and today we are bringing you
ten exceptional boats, watercraft, and catamaran.
- [Announcer] Number 10.
- [Glen] Made by Soel Yachts,
the first energy autonomous vessel
for the ecotourism industry,
the SoelCat 12 is a trailblazing,
energy autonomous, solar electric catamaran.
This solar vessel has a durable
and lightweight fiberglass construction
with slim holes giving the SoelCat high performance
when it comes to speed and range.
The vessel is 39 feet long, weighs 13,200 pounds,
and can carry 12 passengers with a crew of four.
The catamaran has two 60 kilowatt lithium batteries.
Two 30 kilowatt motors can reach speeds
between six to 15 knots
and operate for six hours at a speed of eight knots
on the battery alone.
A massive solar roof required for
the electric repulsion system
makes it capable of supplying its energy
with a capacity of 8.6 kilowatts per hour.
You can take a ride on one of these $600,000 catamarans
at the Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort
in the unspoiled lagoon of Bora Bora.

- [Glen] If you were to put a jet ski
on an inflatable raft, you would have the Seakart 335,
a high performance recreational yachtender
that will seat up to five people.
This classy watercraft has a fiberglass hole,
inflatable sides, and a reliable Yamaha engine
that gives this exceptional hybrid speed
making this fun for the whole family.
Standard features include under seat storage,
removable seating, piped deck drains,
a fuel gauge and speedometer,
and a bathing ladder for when
you wanna jump off and take a swim.
You can even customize it with several features
including LED deck lights, underwater lights,
carbon parts, colored moldings,
custom upholstery, and even a VHF radio.
These come with a one year worldwide warranty
and you have to contact the manufacturer
for pricing on this.
- [Announcer] Number eight.
- [Glen] Seen in the James Bond movie, Spectre,
the Scubacraft Spectre 007
is a submersible watercraft,
featuring multiple dive capabilities,
and the ability to transport a range of equipment.
The patented technology that alters the buoyancy
of the ventilated composite monocoque hull
combines rigid inflatable boat tube technologies
allowing for precise control
when transitioning from surface to underwater
and while resurfacing.
The boat's modern platform technology
makes it capable of carrying three fuLly equipped people,
and includes interchangeable seating,
lifting eyes, tie downs, and lashing points
for a range of transport needs.
The Scubacraft is powered underwater
by batteries and electric thrusters
that deliver hydrodynamic control,
while a reduced combustion engine
drives the jet propulsion system.
High speed dynamic lift allows this to operate
in very shallow water with no exposed propeller,
delivering outstanding maneuverability
and an exciting air-cushioned ride.
- [Announcer] Number seven.
- [Glen] Designed by Michael Kohler,
and featuring naval architecture by Enrique Castilla,
Silent Yachts, based in Austria,
and the Silent 79, is a solar powered yacht
that comes in three versions,
the cruiser, the e power version,
and they hybrid power version.
The solar powered cruiser gets it energy
from 56 solar panels that feed a battery pack
with a capacity of 200 kilowatts
and is powered by two 80 kilowatt electric motors
in the standard version,
giving it an unlimited range with silent navigation.
This yacht has an ultra lightweight glass
and carbon sandwich composite construction,
with resin infusion and vacuum bagging
for a lightweight and robust structure.
These are about 78 and a half feet long,
35 feet, 9 inches wide, and include five double cabins.
The solar panels have a 25 year warranty.
The battery banks come with a 10 year warranty,
and the catamaran is scheduled
for delivery in March of 2020.

- [Glen] Fast, fun, and affordable boats,
the Scarab 165 Ghost and Identity
are made in Cadillac, Michigan
with pride and a 40 year track record
of building some of the finest boats in the world.
These Scarabs are 16 feet long,
can carry up to five people in the spring reinforced seats
that have adjustable backrests,
and you have peace of mind knowing that your Scarab
has a very shallow draft.
Intelligent Neutral and Reverse
is an entirely electronic system
that allows you to quickly shift
from forward to neutral to reverse,
while allowing you to adjust the neutral position
on the fly for ease of docking.
This boat comes with a 150 horsepower Rotax vortec engine,
a 20 gallon fuel capacity,
and a maximum weight capacity of 850 pounds.
The boat weight is approximately 1,600 pounds.

- [Glen] Built in The Netherlands,
the Neyk, designed by Ocean Submarine
in collaboration with Rolls Royce, MTU, and Bosch,
was expected to present this prototype
to potential buyers in January of this year.
The 63 foot pressurized vessel
is expected to reach speeds up to 15 knots,
and dive as deep as 1,000 feet
with a surface range of 500 to 1,500 nautical miles.
The cockpit gives the two pilots
excellent all-around visibility
both on the sea floor, on the surface, and equipped with
two multifunctional color displays for each pilot.
This diesel electric sub can pivot for tight turning
with its innovative propulsion system,
and even stay in one place,
thanks to two extra vertical thrusters
placed in the dome on top of the tower
giving it up and down force.
While accommodating 12 passengers,
this sub has a complete galley, a bar, a library,
and a lavish lounge area with air conditioning,
heating, and many other amenities.
- [Announcer] Number four.
- [Glen] Scandinavian boat maker Flying Flipper
gives us the new Superfly GT 42
that can be ordered with either
two 400 horsepower mercury outboard engines,
or two 627 horsepower seven marine outboard engines,
giving this a top speed of 65 knots.
The new Superfly GT 42 has an aggressive
and lightweight hybrid carbon hull,
features an automatic push button opening glass hardtop,
and the outside deck is even large enough
to entertain with a kitchen and bar.
The interior is cheerful, open, and airy
thanks to large windows and skylights throughout
and houses a spacious living area,
a state-of-the-art kitchen and dining table,
and a captain's suite with a king size bed
and a full featured bathroom.
Customized and hand-built for each customer's demand,
only a few are produced every year
and yours would be one of very few in the world.
- [Announcer] Number three.
- [Glen] Inspired by Tesla,
the company Q-Yachts from Finland,
hopes to sell all electric yachts
and have quietly delivered their first Q-30 yacht already.
These are 30 feet, six inches long
and come with either a 30 or a 60 kilowatt battery pack
and an ocean volt AXC20 electric motor,
which gives you a cruising speed of nine knots
and a max speed of 15 knots.
The 30 kilowatt battery pack
gets you a range of 22 to 42 nautical miles,
while the 60 kilowatt battery pack
gives you a range of 40 to 80 nautical miles.
The boat produces minimal noise and wake,
has a super quiet power train,
and would be good for going out on the lake
and spending a quiet and relaxing evening.
In Finland, besides delivering their first unit,
they haven't released any pricing information
or when these become available.
- [Announcer] Number two.
- [Glen] Developed in partnership with
Jaguar racing's technical partner,
Williams Advanced Engineering,
using Formula E technology,
the Jaguar Vector V20E,
became the fastest electric motorboat in the world
on June 15th of this year.
Piloted by Peter Dredge,
who is the co-founder
and Technical Director of Jaguar Vector,
this electric boat had an average speed
of 88.6 miles per hour
over two legs of the 0.62 mile course
on Coniston Water in Northern England.
This Vector beat the previous record
of 76.8 miles per hour that was set in 2008.
The power train is believed to be similar
to the 250 horsepower electric motor
and 54 kilowatt battery used in a Formula E car.
