known as a Gondola of the sea this smart jet design may become the vehicle of future sea scapes?
A
futuristic yacht with personal customization as it measures 24ft in length has
gone on sale. The Jet Capsule can be used as a luxurious compact yacht, taxi,
police vehicle and even a military patrol vehicle, according to its Italian
designers. The compact boat is now on sale for £126,000 for a basic version,
while a ‘VIP configuration’ costs £214,000.

patrol vehicles, according to its Italian designers. The boat was launched at
the 2013 Monaco Show by the Naples-based company, Jet Capsule, which is taking
orders and expects to deliver the first capsules in four months. The capsule
measures 24’6 feet (7.5 metres) long and 11’5 feet (3.5 metres) wide, which the
firm says is ‘more spacious than any other’ boat of the same dimensions thanks
to its fully customisable interior.
The compact boat is now on sale for £126,000 for a basic
version, while a 'VIP configuration' costs £214,000. The company allows clients
to customise the compact vessels according to their needs, including the colour

For example, a
mini mogul in need of a compact yacht could choose to have a large sofa which
transforms into a triple bed. There is also an option to have a transformable
sofa that turns into a double bed, along with a tiny kitchen and private
bathroom. A mini mogul in need of a compact yacht could choose to have a large
sofa which transforms into a triple bed, or comfortable seating with a smaller
bed (pictured) While the company can create luxurious mini yachts, it is also
working on adapting its Jet Capsule to other purposes. An ambulance version is

These Luxurious additions can be included for an extra cost, such as an adjustable lighting scheme, premium fittings, rear automatic closing doors and a sundeck. As the vessel can also be used as a taxi, there is the option to choose between six and nine seats, while the company says the capsule can also be turned into a specialist police vehicle, ambulance or even a military boat. The design of the Jet Capsule has been refined since a team of engineers working in the automotive industry came up with the idea five years ago.

24'6 feet long and 11'5 feet wide Bodywork: Carbon fibre They wanted to build a
yacht small enough to minimise high costs for it being kept in a port, but
large enough to be able to carry a group of friends in comfort to an island
where they can sleep aboard in comfort. The Jet Capsule is made from 70 per
cent carbon using vacuum-infusion moulding and has photochromic windows, which
change their transparency in response to light intensity.
The vehicle has
between 315 and 740 horsepower depending on the hydro jet propulsion system
selected by a would-be owner, with a top speed of 35 knots, or 40mph. The
engineers behind the yacht wanted to build a vessel small enough to minimise
charges for it being in a port, but large enough to be able to carry a group of
friends. The vehicle has between 315 and 740 horsepower depending on the engine
selected. Pictured is a computer generated model of a police jet capsule. The
firm said the carbon body of the vehicle, as well as its carbon fibre deck,
allows the craft to be ‘extremely lightweight [while] guaranteeing maximum
stiffness, efficiency and minimum waste’.
It said that as less diesel is needed
aboard, the yacht is less expensive, more environmentally friendly, but still
has a large range because of its efficiency. The Jet Capsule is made from 70
per cent carbon using vacuum-infusion moulding and has photochromic windows,
which change their transparency in response to light intensity.
Pictured is an
illustration of a capsule jet taxi. The boat has a top speed of 35 knots, or
40mph. Despite the current crisis of the nautical industry in Italy, Jet
Capsule is expanding and claims to be the only new nautical company started in
Italy in 2012. The shipyard is located in Naples and employs
30 workers. The Italian company is keen to adapt its yacht capsule for military
purposes. An illustration of what the product might look like is pictured.
