Elevate the voyage to a new level with Navigator’s pick of cutting-edge toys.
It may not be new, but the U-Boat Worx NEMO 2 submersible is one toy that is bound to elevate any yachting experience to the highest level (or lowest, given the depths this sub achieves). Recognized for its design excellence, the NEMO is one of the most sophisticated toys available. One passenger and one pilot can fully immerse themselves in their surroundings for up to eight hours of operation autonomy, reaching depths of 330’ (100m) – the so-called edge of darkness in which daylight ceases to penetrate. nemo-submarine.com
Built around an electric jetpack and controlled by a handheld remote, the X-Jet Xtreme surfboard from iAqua has been making waves with its high speed, long range, and blistering acceleration. Ideal for both beginners and advanced riders alike with four power levels, the versatile electric surfboard can be used for touring, racing, or freestyle acrobatics. With a padded deck fitted with footholds, riders can balance comfortably, while without the footholds riders can go two-up. Fun for the whole family. iaquawatercraft.com
Whether you’re skimming the waves or diving into the deep, SEABOBs reign supreme as the most popular underwater scooters in any bonafide superyacht toy box. A firm favorite is the SEABOB F5 SR Water Sled which, with seven power levels, is the most powerful watercraft in the series. With a top speed of 12.4 mph underwater and 13.7 mph on the surface, riders experience the ultimate aquatic adventure, all of which can be captured with the integrated camera for memories to share back onboard. seabob.com
If staying above the surface is more your thing, a waterbike or hydrofoil is a great way to experience the coastline while keeping fit at the same time. Using hydrofoil technology to accelerate the rider over the surface, the Manta5 SL3 is suitable for all abilities and can be used for both a leisurely cycle or a thrilling ride. manta5.com
