Behold : the Jet Capsule Royal Version 001 motorboat – 8m long, fully enclosed with a bathroom, wet bar and leather seats for nine passengers.
Nice.
Bigger and more luxurious than its already fairly luxurious predecessor, the Jet Capsule comes in various configurations with single or dual Yanmar diesel engines paired with a Rolls Royce jet drive. Top speed is a very nippy 62 knots but for leisurely cruising, two Torqeedo electric engines spin the boat along at a more environmentally sensitive 12 knots.
Yours for about €250,000.
AHOY much?, etc.

The old saying applies if you win the lottery or make a lot of money, don’t spend your cash on the three “Fs”
If it flies!
If it floats!
If it f**ks!
So we’re left with horses and cocaine?
Nice.
‘Tis ugly.
Fair play, Broadsheet. You start the day with Marxist diatribes and finish it with speedboats and sportscars.
And that’s PRECISELY the sort of thing that makes this site great
This. This is what we should have bought for the reintroduced Liffey taxi service. €10 a head for the lazy fupps who couldn’t be bothered to walk for five minutes across the bridge and this could pay for itself, instead of the open-air chugger they decided to use where everyone except the pilot will get wet when it rains and everyone will be freezing in winter. Also, Dublin to Holyhead in 45 minutes?
It’s 110km Dublin to Holyhead (straight-line according to Google Maps) @62 knots (115km/hr) this is just over a hour…. and then you need to slow down to dock + in the harbour. Perhaps 90 minutes quay-to-quay?
@ Eoin : Useless in stormy weather. That luxury boat is for playboys, not for serious boaters.
They’ll take it out of the marina out in Howth or Malahide once or twice a year and have absolutely zero idea how to maintain it, while being obnoxious enough to hold parties every couple of weekends.
I know the type.
Move around in alternative circles and you’ll get acquainted with entirely different types.
Stromberg wants his escape pod back!
“…leather seats for nice passengers”
should that be nine passengers? or do the naughty passengers have to stand?
can’t you clean leather
I’d have thought it’s especially for the naught passenger
Well spotted Cian. Fixed. But I’m also keeping ‘nice’.
You could really get the creases out of a shirt with one of those…
Shur’ what’s the point of being that sexy looking if you don’t get wet
“What’s wrong hon, you haven’t touched your dinner….?”
Would.
Gosh it’s so cute
It’s not 250,000 european dollars cute but it’s very cute all the same
Obviously modeled on a palm sander I saw in Woodies.
These designers take their inspiration wherever they find it I suppose.
