WaterCar

WaterCar around the world

Where have WaterCars been?

Since 1999, WaterCars built in Southern California have driven off the road and into lakes, harbors and oceans around the world. This map marks every place where we have found evidence that a WaterCar has been: on the news, on television, at an auction, in a museum or in our own delivery records. Spin the globe, tap a pin and see the proof.

The world map

The same pins on a flat map. On a phone, slide the map sideways to see the whole world.

How we count

A place gets a pin only when there is evidence that a real WaterCar was physically there. That covers every model we have built, new or used: the early prototypes, the Python, the Panther and today’s Adventure and Signature.

  • Public evidence. News reports, television, videos, auctions, sale listings and museum displays. Each one is linked.
  • WaterCar records. Our own delivery and shipping records. These are shown by state or country only, and owners are never named.
  • Not counted. Enquiries, orders that were never delivered, and vehicles from other makers.

This is a living list, last updated in November 2026. Many WaterCars went to private owners who never made the news, so the real map is bigger than this one.

Every place on the map

66 places in 30 countries and territories: the United States, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bonaire, the British Virgin Islands, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Kenya, Kuwait, Lithuania, Mexico, Morocco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Panama, the Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. In the United States the pins cover 24 states.

Quick answers

How many countries have WaterCars been to?

We have found evidence of WaterCars in 30 countries and territories on five continents so far. The list covers the United States (24 states) and 29 others, and it grows whenever new evidence turns up.

What counts as evidence that a WaterCar has been somewhere?

A news report, a TV show, a video, an auction or sale listing, a museum display, or WaterCar’s own delivery and shipping records. Every pin on the map names its source.

Does the map include used WaterCars?

Yes. The map covers every WaterCar model, new or used, from the first prototypes to the Panther and today’s Adventure and Signature. A WaterCar that was resold and moved gets a pin in its new home too.

Are WaterCar owners named on the map?

No. Private owners are never named. Places taken from WaterCar’s own records are shown by state or country only. People are named only when they appeared publicly, for example on television.

Where are WaterCars built?

In Southern California. WaterCar has been building amphibious vehicles there since 1999 and still builds them today.
