Glass Bottom Boat - Your Transparent Canoe

Transparent Canoe

This kayak-canoe hybrid is made of the same durable material found in the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets. It’s transparent hull offers paddlers an underwater view of aquatic wildlife and scenery.

The canoe seats two people, is easy to maneuver, and the width displaces a greater amount of water for more surface stability. The adjustable seats allow paddlers of different heights to personalize their leg room, which is a great advantage for tall and inflexible people. With a lightweight anodized aluminum frame, it can be easily stored or transported to and from the water. Includes two double-headed paddles, a water bailer, and two flotation devices.

This is a fantastic looking canoe/kayak that offers a see-through hull. The lake that my cottage will be on won’t be as clear blue as the picture so the advantages of the hull may not be of use to me. I do like the adjustable seating features since my legs normally cramp up on long trips and any canoe that is stable is a canoe I like. At $1500 US this is probably over priced, but if you have the money it would be a toy that would attract attention on the lake.

I like it, get a gorgeous girl in a skimpy bikini in it, and it would give me a reason to go swimming.

ha ha ha we enjoyed this boat story very much. Very funny like the card game story. In our river we have crocodiles and hippos. Such a funny invisible boat would not fool the animals. They can still see the people in the boat! Why didn’t the mazungu peoples think of that. My cousin Julius wants to know if do you get inivisble when laying down in the boat.

I don’t know how I missed this post but this product would rock for shark fishing. Kinda sucks that is $1500 though.

This is one of those cool toys I really just have to have someday! Several times per year my wife and friends and I go kayaking on some gorgeous rivers here in Florida. There are alligators, manatees and fish of all sorts to see. This kayak/canoe would be awesome. One of the places I’d love to explore if called Rainbow River. The river is spring-fed so it is clear all the way to the bottom. Some parts you can see 35′ down into the waving river grass below. This transparent bottom canoe/kayak would mean a clear view of the gorgeous scenery. Price is high though and out of reach for now. But someday….
