I. Electric Boats (Swan / Dolphin / Giant Rubber Duck / Flamingo)
Basic Construction
The main body is manufactured via one-piece rotational molding using food-grade PE, offering high toughness, impact resistance, and protection against water and UV rays. Common designs feature cute motifs like swans, dolphins, and unicorns. Standard models accommodate 2, 3, or 4 passengers; independent buoyancy chambers on both sides of the hull provide a dual anti-sinking design. Powered by a quiet DC electric motor and an internal battery, some models feature colorful LED ambient lighting, music players, and sun canopies. Controls consist of a simple steering wheel and a throttle knob, with a waterproof, sealed control panel.
Propulsion and Mechanism
Pure electric drive; the motor spins an underwater propeller, propelling the boat forward via water reaction force. The motor operates at low speeds for a smooth ride, traveling at approximately 3–5 km/h. The battery offers a standard range of 6–8 hours and supports fast charging, meeting the needs of all-day operations.
Usage Experience
Visitors pilot the boats themselves, leisurely cruising across the lake. They offer scenic relaxation during the day and become illuminated attractions for night-time sightseeing and photo opportunities. Their cute designs make them popular choices for photography and short-video creation, as well as for family outings and romantic dates.
Key Features
Eye-catching appearance that naturally attracts visitors—a powerful tool for driving traffic to scenic areas;
Zero-barrier operation; seniors and children can master the controls quickly and easily;
Seamless, one-piece hull design minimizes leakage risks; highly resistant to corrosion and aging, ensuring durability even when stored outdoors;
Minimal operating noise and zero emissions; eco-friendly and ideal for scenic lakes and night-tour projects.
Target Audience & Scenarios

V. Jet Car (Jet Ski Car Boat)
Basic Construction
The hull is made of high-strength fiberglass (FRP) with a streamlined design to minimize water resistance. It is powered by a four-stroke marine gasoline engine (ranging from 60 to 300 horsepower) and features a standard built-in jet propulsion system (no exposed propeller). The integrated cockpit comes in two- or three-seat configurations and is equipped with a steering wheel, throttle, handbrake, and reverse gear system; some racing models include additional safety grab handles.
Drive Mechanism & Principles
The high-speed engine drives an internal impeller to intake and pressurize water. A high-pressure jet is expelled from the stern nozzle, propelling the vessel forward via the principle of action and reaction. Steering is achieved by deflecting the jet nozzle, ensuring highly responsive handling. It delivers powerful performance with top speeds ranging from 60 to 120 km/h.
Usage
