A new £8,000 ($10,800) clip-on craft converts a jet-ski into a high speed boat.
The jet ski both powers and steers the 15-foot ‘Wave Boat 444’, together reaching speeds of 50 knots – around 57mph (90 kph).
It can then be detached and used as a normal vehicle, leaving the Wave Boat as a floating 15-foot sunbed that is big enough for five people to lounge on.
The craft comes with cushioned seating and four storage compartments, while customers can pay extra to add a folding sun roof and additional lounging space.
A new £8,000 ($10,800) clip-on craft (pictured) converts a jet-ski (green seating) into a five-seater boat. The ‘Wave Boat 444’ connects to the front end of a jet-ski, which powers and steers the craft up to speeds of 50 knots – around 57mph (90 kph)
An optional tower, which also costs extra, allows users to attach a rope to pull wakeboarders and water-skiers along with.
The £7,940 ($10,700) craft, created by boating firm Sealver based in the South West of France, has no propellers or sail, and so cannot propel itself without the jet-ski.
Customised adaptor kits mean users can hook up almost any brand of jet-ski to the Wave Boat 444, Sealver claims.

‘Stability and impressive maneuverability characterise the boat which is for approved for five people.
‘It has an un-deniable package of advantages which make it the perfect partner for jet-ski drivers.
‘It offers maneuverability close to that of a jet-ski and can operate in most conditions due to its sharp hull which is perfect to crack choppy waters.
‘It is practical thanks to its many storage units and best of all has an affordable price of under £8,000.’
