BILLIONAIRES GEAR UP FOR SUMMER RELEASE

Superyacht owners are evolving and want more luxury water toys than ever for the ultimate thrills at sea this summer.

Yachts

Sales of luxury yachts spiked after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the super-rich wanting to spend more time offshore.

The trend continues with billionaire purchasers buying bigger superyachts, costing upwards of eight figures, and wanting the most lavish amenities. Onboard demands include spas with saunas and ice baths, gyms, cinemas, putting greens, basketball courts, and masseuses.

But for days in the water, there has been massive interest in the latest water toys, and iAQUA, a global leader in water toys, is leading the way. The firm has designed the world’s fastest and most powerful luxury sea scooters and e-surfboard, which are attracting record enquiries.

“When you are spending upwards of eight figures on a superyacht, having luxury onboard and the fastest water adventure is paramount. We aim to revolutionise the sea industry market and make the dreams of superyacht owners come true. They want speed and power, and our innovative sea scooters and the X-Jet™ Extreme surfboard are the world’s fastest and most powerful,” iAQUA said.

The Nano 720 Xtreme scooter has a greater power to weight ratio than a Porsche Carrera T, which has 380 BHP, weighs 1600kgs, and has a 0-60 time of just 3.8 seconds. iAQUA’s Nano 720 Xtreme weighs just 22kgs and boasts 4.7kw of power giving it a Porsche beating power to weight of 0.217.

The AquaDart Pro 770 Xtreme sea scooter produces over 5.2 kw of power, delivering a thrust of 770 Newtons, making it the world’s fastest and most powerful dive scooter. It can propel through the water at speeds of up to 25 kph in under 3 seconds and can pull two boats with 18 passengers and a weight of 2,000kg.

iAQUA’s newest toy is the X-Jet™ Extreme, which it says no other electric surfboard can rival the 68kph speed; ride stability, planning efficiency, and hydrodynamic performance.

At just 23kg, the 100 percent carbon fibre X-Jet™ Extreme is one of the lightest e-surfboards in its category and features four power levels. It has a 3,670kW high-capacity battery, a wireless throttle, and a balance leash, and offers class-leading buoyancy with a 160kg weight capacity for two surfers.

Surfing legend Annissa Flynn, 3 x World Flow-Board Champion, and 19 times (and current) Thailand National Surfing Champion, said: “The power and endurance of the X-Jet™ Extreme is truly game-changing.”
