Water Taxi - "Sea Bubbles" Hydrofoil Transport Service - Environment Friendly

SeaBubbles' Flying River Taxi of the Future - From the company, "Our vision - We believe that pollution and global gridlock are not only threatening our welfare, but are ultimately threatening people’s freedom of mobility. Because in 2050, there will be 4 billion cars in the streets, and even if they are all powered by clean energies, it will still create a massive traffic jam. We believe that the future of mobility will rise from the water, a natural, historic path in the cities that has been underrated for a long time.

WHAT WE DO

We open waterways for everybody, all around the world, by creating a new way to move people on waterways at car speed, for the price of a regular cab, with no impact on the environment nor on the cities’s infrastructure.
"It is the only zero-impact transportation ecosystem ready for the present"

Think James Bond car, available for everybody, but with zero wave, zero noise, zero CO2 emission.

We make the riding experience on waterways the best possible so that people will be glad to choose the most eco-conscious transport solution.

Will already be in 50 cities, seamlessly integrated into the transportation’s systems, and a part of people’s daily habits. And if it inspires more and more people to take the waterways instead of the roads, it will be a huge progress for cities all around the world. People will be able to change the destiny of the city, one ride at a time."

SeaBubbles, a “flying” boat startup that uses electric power instead of gas, hit Miami to show off one of its five prototype boats — or six, if you count an early, windowless white boat they’ve lovingly dubbed the “soapdish.” This innovative boat design combines technology from nautical industries and aviation and intelligent software to raise the hull of the boat out of the water using foils, which helps it consume less energy by allowing it to travel on rougher waters with reduced drag, while also keeping the passenger cabin relatively comfortable.

When raised, the boat is “flying” above the water, so to speak.

Founded only three years ago in Paris, the idea for SeaBubbles was dreamed up by Alain Thébault, a sailor who previously designed and piloted the Hydroptère, an experimental hydrofoil trimaran, using a similar system that lifts the boat in order to reduce drag. That boat went on to break the world record for sailing speed twice, at 50.17 knots. Meanwhile, SeaBubbles’ co-founder Anders Bringdal is a four-time windsurfing world champion, who also set a windsurfing world record at 51.45 knots.

Together, the two have envisioned SeaBubbles as a way for cities to reduce traffic congestion and help the environment by taking advantage of the area’s waterways to move people around in fast water taxis.
