The quiet and 100 per cent emissions-free Seabob is neither a jetski nor a personal submarine yet it’s a toy that every boat owner should have onboard. For those that have yet to discover this German-made watercraft, it’s a vehicle that allows you to cruise both on the surface and underwater, or just speed through the waves rising and submerging as you move along.
Powered by an electronic impeller system that forces water into a high-pressure jet stream, the patented E-jet power drive and the High-Energy Li-Ion technology make the Seabob the fastest water and diving sled in the world. The F7 is the top product among the company’s jets – its 7hp engine develops a tremendous thrust - 70 kg at full output. That power is transmitted to the operator by means of the specially designed pilot belt system, which converts this enormous force into a comfortable riding experience complete with great agility in the water.
From relaxed cruising to racing along in the water you choose how you wish to go, just make sure you’ve properly fastened your swimming suit as you flick through the machines ten gears. Steering the Seabob is very intuitive as all you need do is shift your weight left or right. Should you wish to plunge down then simply apply a gentle pressure and down you will go into the depths of the water. Experienced divers can actually descend all the way to depths of 40 metres although we simply loved porpoising along the surface.
