The Aqua Star is an underwater scooter designed to give riders the scuba experience without requiring any kind of license to operate. Traveling at speeds of up to 4 mph, riders can dive 12 meters, allowing them access to most shallow reefs without requiring a weight belt or a back-strapped tank. While details haven’t surfaced on who makes the Aqua Star or whether or not it’s for sale, a video of the underwater scooter can be found here. We think this water toy would make the perfect addition to any yacht or tropical beach house.

Care to travel at 40mph on a surfboard without a wave? Hop on the MonoJet, a high-performance jet-powered surfboard for rivers, lakes, and the open ocean. The MonoJet is the lightest and fastest jet-powered surfboard made, capable of traveling at speeds of up to 40mph. As Mono-Tech Tool and Engineering Company, the board’s manufacturer, says, the board is “easy to ride, operate, mount, dismount, handle, and transport.” When we spoke with Egon Monostory, MonoJet’s creator, he affirmed that the board is nearly 80 lbs lighter, five miles faster, and one foot shorter than any motorized surfboard on the market.

So what’s the catch? You can’t buy one straight up. If you’re interested you’ll need to contact Egon and have the right attitude and personality. If Egon likes you, he’ll consider taking you down to the lake and letting you take the MonoJet out for a spin. When asked if he would construct another for the right price, Egon answered that he might give out the specs. But more importantly, it would need to be the right person. If you don’t hit it off with Egon, you can always go with the PowerSki Jetboard (thumb 3) which is baller in its own right.

If you spend your time boating around the Atlantic coast, then you’re familiar with the sea nettle, a species of Jellyfish that invades Atlantic estuaries during the summer. The Nettle Net Boat Pool is an innovative product that allows you to swim amongst them. Available in eight, 12 and 20-foot diameters, the Nettle Net comes with 1/16″ mesh netting that sinks eight feet deep and comes attached to a rugged flotation ring. The netting is so small that it prevents any sea nettle tentacles from poking through, preventing you from painful stings. Setup and breakdown times vary by size and range from two to six minutes, and the largest net collapses to the size of a 15” beach ball and weighs only 18 pounds. Prices range from $480 for the 8’ net up to $1,360 for the 20’ net. We hope to see a shark net in the works.
