The Cannes Boat Show saw a very unique water toy last week that is targeted at the Baller Boys called the EXO from French company EXOCONCEPT. If you are one who loves the pure fun and the adrenalin rush that jet skiing brings, the EXO will most likely excite you. The EXO is almost like an electric Jet Ski, the only difference being that the rider lies down on top of the watercraft in a prone position rather than in a seated position.

Boys on their quads will no longer have to stop at the edge of the water and wish they had a jet ski instead. At the flick of a switch the Gibbs Quadski, by the new amphibian Gibbs Technologies, makes the crossover from land to water in about 5 seconds. This full on recreational vehicle is a quad bike and a jet ski in one funky looking speed machine. Powered by a 140 BHP petrol driven engine, this cool amphibian is able to travel at 50mph on land and water. On entering water the wheels retract into the body of the vehicle to ensure a smooth transition. Read the rest of this entry »
Sunreef has doubled down with 92 feet of a new double deck, double hull catamaran that has us wanting to sail the high seas in yacht charter luxury. The Sunreef 92 Double Deck has sleek hulls and a streamlined deck-house that’s topped by a 40m2 flybridge which was inspired by larger superyachts. Aside from a great design, for which we can credit Sunreef’s internal design team, the yacht packs a double punch with it’s two jet skis and tender hidden in a purpose-built locker under the main cockpit’s sun pad.
The Natori was launched in early 2009 and has been the talk of the yacht charter scene since she was unveiled at the Genoa Charter Show in May. While the distinctive exterior is highlighted by an unusual layout of one side deck which allows the crew to walk from aft to amid ship, creating a large main deck saloon which allows for crew movement without interfering with the privacy of the 12 guests, the interior is where the boat truly shines.
We’re not sure whether our favorite part about WaterCar’s Python is the ability to go from land to water and back again seamlessly, or if it’s the easiest way to pick up girls on the water (see the video). WaterCar originally released a 2002 Convertible Chevrolet Camero in 2006 that had similar features to the Python and has now expanded to the Gator, a water-ready jeep, and the larger Python.
The Python is the world’s fastest amphibious vehicle clocking in at over 100mph on land and 60mph on water. It acheives these speeds from your choice of Corvette V8 engines ranging from the LS1 up through GM’s latest 6.2 liter suprecharged LS9 which propells the Corvette ZR1 along with 640hp. By water propulsion is acheived through a Dominator Jet Drive. Going from car to boat is easy with the driver merely putting the transmission in neutral, engaging the jet and pushing a button to raise the wheels. When going land-ho all one does is reverse the process.
The $200,000 Python is completely customizable with 60,000 exterior shades, 4,000 interior colors, and choice of placement of the seats and pedals. The interior is modeled off of a boat with two captain’s chairs in the front and a wrap-around bench in back. The downside? Aside from the car not having the cleanest lines, to say the least, be prepared to store this chick magnate inside as there is no hard or soft top available.
