Over 27 years in business. Several hundred vehicles built and delivered worldwide. Guinness World Records. NMMA certification. Featured by Jay Leno, Forbes, MrBeast, and global media. We’re not a startup with renders and promises — we’re a manufacturing company with a quarter-century track record. Every WaterCar on the water proves we deliver what we promise.
Founded in 1999 by Dave March, a lifelong gearhead and business owner with 50+ years in precision manufacturing within the automotive and marine industries. Started with the WaterCar Python, which set the Guinness World Record for fastest amphibious vehicle nearly 77 mph on water! Continuous development through multiple generations. The WaterCar EV represents over 27 years of learning, iteration, and refinement. Same family. Same facility. Same commitment to quality.
Boat enthusiasts tired of trailer hassles. Car collectors who want something truly unique. Waterfront property owners. Resort operators. Government and military agencies. Adventurers who go where roads and water meet. People who recognize quality and value genuine capability over marketing hype.
Ask them. They’ll tell you about the real-world ownership experience — what works, what they love, how it’s changed their relationship with the water. Nothing we say is as credible as what they say.
There’s no direct comparison. Other amphibious vehicles are either non-street-legal, poor performers on water, built from obscure parts, or one-off prototypes that never enter production. The WaterCar EV is the only NMMA-certified, federally street-legal, production amphibious vehicle with a Mercury® OEM outboard and 27+ years of proven development. If we didn’t build it, it’s not a WaterCar.
Most have come and gone. Many never delivered a single vehicle. Some built a handful before disappearing. We’ve been here since 1999, building continuously, improving constantly. Longevity in this industry is rare — it requires actually delivering on promises. We’re still here because we do.
Strength, durability, and repairability. Aluminum doesn’t crack, delaminate, or develop osmotic blisters. It can be welded and repaired anywhere. It’s lighter than equivalent-strength fiberglass. And it survives impacts that would destroy a fiberglass hull. For an amphibious vehicle that drives on land and operates on water, aluminum is simply the superior choice.
Reliability. Global service network. Parts availability anywhere. Decades of proven marine engineering. Mercury® has the largest dealer network in the marine industry. We could use any outboard — we chose Mercury® because when you’re far from home, you can find Mercury® service. That’s worth more than boutique bragging rights.
Performance, certification, serviceability, and track record. 35+ mph on water with a real boat hull. Street-legal with federal certification. Serviceable worldwide with OEM parts. 27+ years of proven development. NMMA certification. Premium components throughout. It’s not just the best amphibious vehicle — it may be the only one that truly deserves the name.
For many people, yes. The hassle of trailering keeps boats on trailers more than on the water. The WaterCar EV eliminates that barrier. Drive to the water, go boating, drive home. Your garage is the marina. Your driveway is the boat ramp. This is what boating should have always been.
Drive to the water. Go boating. Drive home. No trailer. No ramp lines. No marina fees. The WaterCar EV is the vehicle that finally delivers on the amphibious promise — and the only one backed by 27 years of actual production. If you’ve been waiting for amphibious vehicles to actually work, the wait is over.
