NEREUS ...a future watercraft


The world's first submersible fuel-free jetski...



Friends here is the world's first prototype of an under water jetski called the Nereus,


This jet-ski style watercraft is designed by Mathias Koehler. The whacky-looking concept uses the wind for propulsion, which means the rider can spend as long as they like out on, or under, the water.


Tell me, What could be more fun than flying a kite or riding a Waverunner? Try both at the same time! That’s the basic idea behind the “Nereus” water craft.

Powered by none other than Mother Nature herself, this water craft can deliver hours of fuel free fun above and below the water. Steering is managed via foot pedals and the diving function is handled vie the hand grips controlling the pivoting fins at the base. Sailing into the wind is a simple as traditional zig zag tacking.It’s much like sailing and jet skiing combined.












Time for a RIDE....
