Semi-autonomous long-range electric hydrofoil plots course to the future

Conceived to be the “boat of the future,” the all-new Navier 30 adds a little length over the Navier 27 concept that preceded it while remaining true to the vessel’s ambitious high-tech approach. It will deliver nearly double the all-electric range of … Continue reading Semi-autonomous long-range electric hydrofoil plots course to the future

One-of-a-kind aluminum watercraft is like the DeLorean of kayaks

Touring kayaks are typically made of plastic, composites or sometimes wood, but unlike canoes, almost never aluminum. That didn’t phase Brennen Kunka, however, who recently built his own all-aluminum kayak from the ground up – and it’s awesome!Continue… Continue reading One-of-a-kind aluminum watercraft is like the DeLorean of kayaks

Lux electric RV cat hits the water on way to sea-glamping adventure

When we looked at the Swedish-designed Pol Lux earlier this year, it was still in the rendering stages. We weren’t sure the unconventional vessel would even make it further than that, but half a year later, it’s out touring and testing on the water. Th… Continue reading Lux electric RV cat hits the water on way to sea-glamping adventure

JetCycle hydrofoil is the recumbent bike that soars over water

Hydrofoil cycling is among the more intriguing young water sports out there, but it can also be rather intimidating for the uninitiated. Something seems quite unnatural about trying to balance a narrow frame on top of water while at the same time pedal… Continue reading JetCycle hydrofoil is the recumbent bike that soars over water

“Unsinkable” amphibious caravan flips wheels into hulls to float-camp

Normally we’d be quite satisfied to see one all-new multi-hull camper boat at any given event, but this year’s Düsseldorf Caravan Salon had two, each demonstrating a unique take on the idea of buoyant RVing. The soon-to-launch Scoter wasn’t as large or… Continue reading “Unsinkable” amphibious caravan flips wheels into hulls to float-camp

World’s most powerful electric boat torches speed record to hit 109 mph

An electric boat built from the ground up for maximum power has blazed past the 100-mph (161-km/h) barrier, and posted a new world record in the process. Vision Marine’s V32 catamaran recently took to the waters at the Lake of the Ozarks to leave all c… Continue reading World’s most powerful electric boat torches speed record to hit 109 mph

Startup believes AI-guided hydrofoil flotilla is key to green hydrogen

Wind power is a promising source of green energy and one that could feature in the production of green hydrogen. UK startup Drift Energy shows a different spin on that idea. Instead of creating windmill-derived electricity, its plan involves using AI-r… Continue reading Startup believes AI-guided hydrofoil flotilla is key to green hydrogen

Nanoyacht modular boat nests in pieces for transport and storage

There are now several different packable boats that can be carried in the back of a car, and assembled onsite. And while most of them fold like origami, the Nanoyacht is a bit different, in that it’s made up of multiple nesting boxes.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Nanoyacht modular boat nests in pieces for transport and storage

Pedals power paddles in Thames-travelling Jamima Paddleduck boat

Although pedal-powered boats do exist, most utilize either a propeller or flapping fins on their underside. Ben Kilner’s one-off Jamima Paddleduck takes a different approach, with two rear paddles mounted on a partial bike frame – and the setup has som… Continue reading Pedals power paddles in Thames-travelling Jamima Paddleduck boat
