C-Boat's C-12

The jet boat industry has just dipped its toes into the boating waters, but one things for sure: there’s nothing tentative about this baby!

There’s no propellers, no rudder – just two impellers that suck water in through a grill in the front & jet it out the back. The C-Boat C-12 works like a jet-ski: fast, manoeuvrable & able to go where other boats can’t.
