The SeaBubble
The boat
Lifted by self-stabilising foils and powered by electrical energy generated by a hydrogen fuel cell, the SeaBubble is a real convergence of innovation, the only one of its kind in the world, drawing inspiration from the nautical, automotive and aviation industries.
Synergy of High-tech industries
Aerodynamics and navigation system borrowed from the nautical industry. Interior design and roof inspired by the automotive industry foils originating from the aviation industry. To enter a SeaBubble is to step inside a capsule of innovation. The cabin enables passengers to ride comfortably in all seasons. The foils ensure a feeling of stability unmatched in waterborne transport.
The interior design and the roof are inspired from the automobile industry. The capsule offers comfort in urban and inter-urban commuting thanks to its cabin, protecting 8 passengers and their hand luggage from the weather changes. A fluid, ecologic and engaged alternative to road transport.
The foils come from the aeronautic industry. The SeaBubble is lifted by a combination of “Inverted T-foils” which insure stability and a sensational navigation. Controlling the phenomena of roll, pitch and yaw is a mechanical science born out of aviation and adapted to the nautical world, offering users a level of comfort that is unmatched in waterborne transport.
The foils reduce wetted surface area, participating in the optimization of the on-board power.
