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
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
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
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
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
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
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
California’s Marine Advanced Robotics has made considerable progress on its remarkable Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V) since we first saw these wild spider-boats 16 years ago on a list of urban legends. Legends and photoshops they were not – indee… Continue reading Spider-legged WAM-V suspension boats float over the waves
Italian startup iSpace2o has announced it’s starting production on the first hull for its Deepseaker DS1 submersible hydrofoil. This machine will rise out of the water to hydrofoil at speeds up to 23 knots (26 mph/43 km/h), or dive as deep as 50 m (164 ft) for underwater shenanigans.

When we last heard about Belgian startup Onak, it was debuting an improved version of its origami-style folding canoe. Now, Onak is back with a considerably smaller and less costly boat, called the Bato.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors, LifestyleTags… Continue reading Onak takes on Oru, with compact low-cost Bato origami boat
