Its that a car or a boat - Jet Car / Boat ?

What Exactly is a Jet Car Boat ? A jet car boat is a water-only vehicle designed to look like a road-going supercar. Built on a fiberglass or composite hull and powered by high-output jet propulsion systems—often sourced from Yamaha or Sea-Doo engines—these machines blend the visceral aesthetics of a Lamborghini or McLaren with the hydroplaning agility of a jet ski. Unlike amphibious vehicles (which drive on land and float or cruise on water), jet car boats do not function on land.

Experience the Revitalisation of the 52.4-metre DB9 Palmer Johnson Yacht: Championing Elegance and Power in its New Avatar

The famed 52.4-meter Palmer Johnson sports yacht, DB9, has experienced a revived lease on life. Following an extended and rigorous refurbishment over 18 months at the Monaco Marine’s facilities in La Seyne-sur-Mer, the revitalised DB9 stands proud and ready for a remarkable summer of sailing the South of France and Italy.

The transformational refurbishment has brought about a wave of significant modifications to this renowned yacht. Primary among these is the hull repaint, in a captivating metallic light grey, which is a notable departure from the yacht’s previous iconic champagne-and-red exterior design. Augmenting this exterior redesign is the updating of the exterior decks upholstery, providing a crisp and fresh feel to the overall outside space.
