Yet Another Corvette Boat Has Arrived and It Looks Amazing
This particular watercraft actually looks a lot like a C7.
Corvette on the Water
Among the many unusual trends that have emerged over the years, Corvette jet skis and boats are a more recent one, albeit quite popular. There’s just something about being on vacation in a place like Miami that calls for a flamboyant type of watercraft, the sort that’s going to attract attention in a big way. And that’s precisely what this Corvette boat/jet ski sort of thing for rent via Miami Elite Watersports is designed to do.

Mixed Up
Looking like a mix between a Corvette and a Ferrari, this particular boat can actually be rented or purchased outright, and much like its road-going counterpart, is a proper two-seater with no roof, because who needs one of those when you’re out cruising on the water?

Different Kind of Power
Aside from its familiar-looking bodywork, this Corvette boat doesn’t share a ton with the road-going version in terms of anything else. For example, you won’t find a V8 under the hood, but rather, a four-stroke, 1.8-liter four-cylinder from Yamaha.

Light and Quick
Tipping the scales at around 1,200 pounds, this “Jet Car,” as MEW calls it, is capable of reaching speeds of up to 65 miles-per-hour, which is pretty quick on the water.

Amenities
Then there are the amenities, and there are plenty of those – a list that includes a Bluetooth stereo, six speakers, headlights, taillights, windshield wipers, and pretty much everything else one might need on the water.

Pricing
Renting one of these cool rigs costs $350 per hour, while an outright purchase will set you back somewhere between $46,000 and $55,000, depending on how it’s spec’d out. Not too shabby for a pretty cool water toy that’s guaranteed to turn heads everywhere you take it, we’d say.
