Built in Sweden, the Radinn Wakejet Cruise is a brand new aquatic toy that’s fit for any billionaires superyacht. Essentially it is an electric-powered wakeboard made from carbon fiber that has its own on-board engine. You can now enjoy going wakeboarding without the need for a boat to pull you. It’s lightweight, agile, and powerful. You can reach speeds of 30mph on it so it is certainly very exciting. You’ll also need around $20,000 dollars to pick one up so good thing you’re a billionaire.

The Supercraft
Inspired by vehicles like the Bugatti Veyron and the Lamborghini Huracan, the Supercraft is a small and high-performing hovercraft. It’s very sleek and has a low profile allowing it to reach 40mph on both land and water. It’s powered by a 60hp gas engine and a 40hp electric motor. It’s a hybrid-supercraft! This is the McLaren P1 of hovercrafts, and like those cars they are also produced in extremely limited numbers by Mercier-Jones. It’s the perfect vehicle to take you from your yacht onto the nearby beach.

An Inflatable Rock Wall
There are a few companies out there on the market that produce inflatable rock walls that you can attach to the side of your yacht. They are relatively affordable, easy to set up, and are easy to store which makes them perfect toys. Depending on how large your yacht is, they also come in a variety of sizes and make for great fun. No need for safety ropes obviously as you’ve got the water right behind you.

The Quadrofoil
The Quadrofoil is a small and lightweight hydrofoil that is powered entirely by electricity. At high speeds, hydrofoils lift out of the water and glide on small skies which allows them to attain incredible speed due to the low surface area. The Quadrofoil can carry two people and reach speeds of 25mph on the water. It can also travel 62 miles on a single charge which is very impressive and the company (shares the same name) sells them for around $25,000 dollars.

The Zapata Racing Hoverboard
This picture alone was enough to sell me on the Hoverboard. From Zapata Racing, the Hoverboard is a small water-jet powered board that is about the size of a snowboard. Users attach a hose running from the board to any jet ski pump. The jet ski acts as the engine for the board and it pumps water to it at an extremely high pressure. The user controls the board via an hand control a friend follows you around on the jet ski. Check out this video to see it in action: (Hoverboard Video).

The Jetlev-Flyer
If boards aren’t really you’re thing, then check out the Jetlev-Flyer. It is essentially the same concept as the Hoverboard only it is in the form of a jetpack. Additionally the unit comes with a small motor and pod that you can attach the Jetlev. This allows you to not need someone on a jet ski to follow you around which is obviously better. The company sells a few different models and they start at $53,000 dollars but the top-of-the-line model is a bit more at over $100,000.

The Seabob
Seabob is a company that sells a variety of small electric watercrafts of the same name. Seasbobs are small vehicles that power a rider through the water or even underwater. They are small and lightweight so you can store many on your yacht, but most importantly they are a whole lot of fun. Their best model can reach speeds of 26mph under water and 35mph on the surface which feels a whole lot faster than it seems.
