Admit it. It’s time to come clean. Say it with me – “My yacht is an environmental menace.” And your Cuban cigar smoke isn’t helping any. The truth is that personal changes really can make a difference, even if that means no more making laps around the yacht’s deck with your Hummer, using gasoline-soaked baby seals as the track’s course markers. Environmental change calls for action and self-sacrifice. When you get the hang of making some of your favorite hobbies... Continue reading

While this isn’t the first-time that Seabreacher has introduced a trailblazing, adrenaline-gushing, limit-pressing submersible water vehicle, this is by far their most extreme creation yet. The Seabreacher X starts where the Seabreacher J left off. Now with a Shark-inspired body rather than that of a dolphin, the Seabreacher X boosts the performance with a 260hp supercharged engine, allowing the vehicle to travel at speeds of 50 mph on the surface and 25 mph underwater. The Seabreacher is capable of jumping... Continue reading

A guitar boat sounds great on paper. It’s a chick magnet. It plays tunes. It can get you down the Yangtze river. Well, maybe not the owner of this boat, Australian singer Josh Pyke. He’d find it difficult once the locals catch up to him with their boats shaped like boats and capsize his ass, sending him down stream quicker than a hyena hopped up on poppers. It wouldn’t be a problem if Josh Pyke invested in a hyper-sub. Link... Continue reading

Camping can be a real blast with some buddies and cold brews, but tugging along a boat with you can be a real bitch, especially if you don’t have a trailer hitch on your car. Thankfully, the 21st century has given way to the Backpack Inflatable Pontoon Boat. In under 15 minutes, you can assemble a full pontoon boat for you and your posse to ride downstream. Weighing only 42 pounds, this sturdily built backpack won’t kill you (if they... Continue reading

You can’t say the Earth doesn’t contain enough water. Nope there is more than enough of that for sure. So why are we not using it more? Especially for sea-going vessels. The Suntory Mermaid II is a boat that uses something waves to provide it the energy it needs to move. Being touted as the greenest nautical power source since the sail, the Mermaid II uses two fins side-by-side along the bow which are moved by the waves to produce... Continue reading

The Marion Hyper-Sub Submersible Powerboat is not your average sea bearing vessel. The Hyper-Sub can operate as both a boat and a submarine, both equally well. And it can look pretty sweet while doing it too. Creator Reynolds Marion enlisted the help of his mechanical engineer neighbor to help create the schematics for the Hyper-Sub, and as it turns out, the schematics allowed for an awesome design as well. Kinda like the Batmobile on water skis.

There haven’t been many posts, if any, on boat-related topics, so here is something for you techies who love boats but miss all of your gadgets. The Minn Kota RipTide Wireless CoPilot is a remote that allows you to control the boat without having to sit behind the steering wheel. With the remote you can steer left or right, speed up or slow down, and turn the prop on or off. The RipTide Wireless CoPilot is small enough to wear... Continue reading
