The most advanced and capable amphibious vehicle ever built — and one of the most comfortable 19-foot boats of its size. Most amphibious vehicles can’t legally drive on roads. The ones that can are inferior boats. The WaterCar EV does both — plus off-road and sand. Drive to the water. Go boating. Drive home. “We built a great boat — and made it so you can drive it home.” — Michael March, Founder.
The LaunchMode™ hydraulic transition system handles everything at the push of a single button — wheels retract, outboard lowers into position, marine propulsion engages. The transition takes seconds. No tools. No manual steps. Drive up any launch ramp, beach, or gradual shoreline with ease — no trailer to back down, no ramp queue, no waiting. Reversing the process returns the vehicle to road mode. No more waiting in queues at boat ramps. No more reversing trailers. Drive to the water — then into it.
35-40 mph dependent on prop selection, load, and outboard. Military and international versions can hit 40+ mph with higher horsepower.
No — and here’s where it gets interesting. A patented integrated towing system means the boat itself is the trailer. A world’s first. Eliminating the need for a boat trailer — forever.
Yes. Federally certified as a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) under 49 CFR 571.500. Comes with a 17-digit VIN, DOT-compliant lighting, and all required safety equipment. Legal to operate on roads with posted speed limits of 35 mph or less in most states.
