The world’s first boat that you can drive home.
Designed like a supercar. Built like an offshore boat.
More than 25 years of marine and automotive innovation led to the WaterCar EV — a comfortable 19-foot-class boat that transforms into a street-legal electric Low Speed Vehicle at the push of a button. Designed and hand-built in Southern California.

Guided Tour. Watch with sound on
25+ years of amphibious engineering. The WaterCar EV has 28 patented design features. They are hand built in the USA with limited production each year.

Performance you feel
The WaterCar EV runs like a real sport boat, powered by a 115 HP Mercury Pro XS outboard and capable of up to 35 mph on the water.
Hull design for confident handling
The hull is a fully aluminum unibody that’s epoxy-coated, foam-filled, and engineered for strength and stability. The tri-hull V-bottom design, help it plane quickly, hold a solid trim angle, and carve through wakes and afternoon chop.
Built from advanced alloys, not fiberglass
Every inch of the structure is crafted from marine- and aerospace-grade alloys, fully welded inside and out using pulse-arc technology, with 316 stainless-steel hardware and hydraulics throughout. Unlike fiberglass hulls, it won’t flex, crack, or absorb water.
Road Mode
Waterproof electric drive, made for marine reality
A sealed, marine-certified, waterproof 48-volt system powers a waterproof permanent-magnet motor with regenerative braking.
Car-like control and stability
Road handling is supported by:
Independent coil-over suspension
Limited-slip differential
Electric power steering
Simple charging
Charging is designed to be effortless: plug into a standard 110V household outlet for a full charge in 6–8 hours.
Road Mode mini-spec (optional callout):
Land speed: Up to 25 mph (LSV/NEV)
Drive system: Sealed 48V waterproof system
VIN: NHTSA-registered 17-digit
Easy tow feature
Towing a WaterCar EV is as easy as raising the wheels and attaching it to your truck or RV. No boat trailer required.
Tow without a trailer
The WaterCar EV can be towed without a trailer. Connect it to a tow vehicle using the included hitch insert, press a button to raise the front wheels, and it rides smoothly on its own rear wheels in “tow mode.”
The aluminum unibody’s rigidity is engineered to handle thousands of miles of towing, creating a practical, space-saving way to transport and store.
