Drift Away In This One-Person Electric Motorboat

Summer is almost here, and that means it’s time to relax and spend lazy days soaking in the sun. Sometimes you just feel like stepping in a boat and let it drift you away in the middle of the water. And there’s no better way to enjoy the open water than in your own one-person electric motorboat.

This personal watercraft is powered by a 12-volt electric motor that drives a two-bladed propeller to move you silently across the water. Its top speed is just 4 mph, so it’s not fast, but the whole point is to relax on the open ocean. Sounds relaxing right?

Built with fiberglass, this motorboat is trimmed with mahogany and chrome, and features stainless steel drink holders. Now you can sip on a cold beverage, and relax in the warm sun. You can float around for about six hours before needing a recharge. Just make sure you have an extra marine batteries just in case yours breaks down over time.

According to the source, its wide beam and low center of gravity provide reliable stability for one person up to 320 lbs (145 kg). It was designed with five forward and two reverse speeds you can manually change while a starboard hand tiller with a thumb-activated throttle provides easy steering.

You will want to be entertained, while floating adrift. No need to worry. The boat has a waterproof 120-watt audio system with two 5″ speakers and a built-in cooler that will hold 12 bottles or cans of your favorite beverage. This one-person boat can be purchased through Hammacher Schlemmer and be purchased for just $3,500.

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to step into one of these.
