The folks at Innespace have come out with a new dolphin like personal watercraft the “Seabreacher” a two seat version… similar to their last model, the “dolphin” which was a single person ride. The unit is, obviously, made to look like a dolphin… but performs like nothing else. Some Seabreacher specifications:
- 2 Seater
- Powered by a supercharged Atkins marine rotary engine
- Hurth V-Drive transmission
- 50% larger and 20% heavier than the “dolphin” model

Notice how they don’t show the dolphin coming out of the water at full speed and they never show it hitting the water. Why is that? Why do they slow down the video when it comes out of the water and they never show it falling back? People would definitely want to see that. Have their been failures with the unit breaking apart upon impact with the water?
That’s so cool! I live in stokesdale,NC
First…The cost?
second…Where may I buy one, and where???
It cost around $58,000 for one and they haven’t had problems w/ the landing when launched out of the water, I’ve seen videos of them launched and landing w/ no problems.
Thanks Michael… how deep can they go?
and… how long can they run before being out of fuel?
The French shipyard Piratus is also working on a new dolphin boat generation at the fraction of the price of this one. Thez website say will be available at the end of 2011. http://www.piratus.com
Adams – we will have to wait and see if they “actually” hit their price and build deadline. Easy to put up specs and renderings. Tough to actually come to market with a functional product. Will wait and see.
Just seen your awesome machine on Monster Garage. Looks like so much fun.
