Luxury water toys: a price list from Seabob to jet car to amphibious car
Luxury water toys with a published price run from USD 9,980 for a Seabob F5 to USD 175,000 for a true amphibious car. Between them sit the jet ski and the jet car, which carries a driver and three guests for about a third of the amphibious car's price. This guide gives each price with its source, says how many people each toy carries, and is plain about storage and crew.
Luxury water toys with a published price.
Most sellers of yacht toys ask you to request a quote. Four kinds of toy have prices we could source in November 2026: the Seabob, the jet ski, the jet car and the amphibious car. They span USD 7,000 to USD 175,000 and carry from one person to six.
What is missing matters too. People also search for eFoil prices, water karts and inflatable platforms. Our research holds no verified price for those, so they are not in the table. We sell jet cars, built in the United Arab Emirates, and nothing else on this list.

Seabob price and the jet ski: the single-rider end of the list.
A Seabob is a single-rider toy. A US retailer lists four models for 2026: the F5 at USD 9,980, the F5 S at USD 13,450, the F9-S at USD 14,465 and the F5 SR at USD 17,780 (Citimarine price list). One Seabob entertains one guest at a time. If you want two guests in the water together, you buy two: USD 19,960 for a pair of the entry model, USD 35,560 for a pair of the top one.
We found no verified used prices and no Dubai price list, although people search for both. Ask the retailer nearest you.
A new jet ski costs USD 7,000–22,600 in the 2026 range published by JetDrift. A mid-range example, the Yamaha VX Cruiser HO with Audio, has a list price of USD 15,599. It is the benchmark the other prices on this page are measured against. Its limit is the guest who will not ride one. We compare the two craft in jet ski or jet car and list prices in the jet ski price guide.
Jet car: the toy that seats several guests.
A jet car is a fibreglass jet boat with the body of a luxury convertible. The driver has a steering wheel and a throttle. Ours has 4 seats: one driver and three guests who sit as they would in a car, in life vests. It is not amphibious and has no road wheels.
That seating is the difference. A Seabob or a jet ski occupies one guest. A jet car takes a family of four, or carries a group from the yacht to the beach club.
Typical figures for the class, from a Dubai guide published by dubizzle: 4.5–5.4 m long and about 2.0 m wide, about 544 kg, a 1.8-litre engine of 180 or 250 hp and 80–100 km/h. Those are class figures, not our specification. Length, beam, weight and engine output for the R series are confirmed with the quote.
Prices in this class run in three bands. Chinese factories quote USD 15,000–36,000 FOB without certification or freight. Our UAE-built craft is about USD 50,000 complete. Florida builders list new craft at USD 58,000–82,000. How a jet car works explains the hull and the drive.
R series: three trims for a yacht or a villa dock.
Prices are for the craft without engine; Yamaha inboard power or an outboard configuration is quoted separately. Six stock colours and any other on request: colours and customisation · R Elite in detail · full price page
Amphibious car: a different product at about three times the price.
The only true amphibious car with a published price in our research is the WaterCar from California: USD 135,000–175,000, six seats, 35 mph on the water, wheels that retract (watercar.com). It drives down the ramp by itself. A jet car cannot. If you need one vehicle for road and water, that is your product, and we do not sell it. The full comparison is in amphibious car for sale.
Best water toys for yachts: storage and crew decide.
The best water toys for yachts are the ones the crew can launch, supervise and store. Price comes second.
- Storage. A jet car is a boat of the 4.5–5.4 m class. It does not go in a deck locker. It lives at the marina, on a floating dock at the villa, on a trailer ashore, or in the tender garage of a large yacht. Before ordering, compare the garage opening and the crane's working load with the real dimensions and dry weight on the quote.
- Crew. Someone launches it, briefs the guests, follows them and rinses the craft with fresh water after use. Almost every rental we found sends a guide alongside on a jet ski.
- Paperwork. A jet car is registered as a boat. In Dubai the owner registers it with the Dubai Maritime Authority and needs a marine craft driving licence (Khaleej Times). Rules differ by flag and port: ask your captain or yacht manager.
- Running cost. In our estimate fuel is about USD 22 per engine-hour in Dubai, and salt-water use means a service every 50–100 hours. These are our assumptions; ask for the builder's maintenance schedule with the quote.
A jet car as a yacht or villa toy: for and against.
For
- Four seats: guests ride together instead of taking turns.
- A steering wheel and a throttle, familiar to anyone who drives a car.
- Works as a shuttle to the beach club as well as a toy.
- A complete price of about USD 50,000, below new Florida craft at USD 58,000–82,000.
- The Elite trim carries your logo on the seats and underwater LED lighting for evenings.
Against
- It is a boat of about five metres: it needs a berth, a dock, a trailer or a large tender garage.
- It needs a trained crew member and, for guests, an escort.
- Registration applies, and in places such as Dubai so does a driving licence: check yours.
- Used craft sell far below new prices: one was listed in Abu Dhabi at AED 60,000.
- Certification for your country must be confirmed before you order.
Luxury yacht water toys that are billed by the hour.
Charter operators have turned the jet car into a paid extra. Operators in Miami deliver one to a charter yacht for about USD 400 an hour plus a USD 150 delivery fee (operator listing). Maldives resorts list a guided hour at USD 499–599 plus taxes per hour.
That matters because a charter yacht by itself earns little: published owner accounts put the net yield at 2–8% of the yacht's value a year, often 2–4%, with running costs of 10–15% of its value (The Luxury Playbook, BOAT International). A toy billed by the hour adds revenue without adding a yacht.
It does not come with a promise. A list price is not income, and our own base-case payback for a stand-alone rental craft is 11–20 months, as an illustration and not a forecast. See jet cars for yacht charter, is yacht charter profitable, the rental business page and the ROI calculator.
Seven questions before you buy any water toy.
- How many guests does it carry at once, and how many will really use it.
- Where does it live on board or ashore, and does it fit: length, beam, height, weight.
- Who on the crew launches and supervises it, and what training do they need.
- Is it registered, and does the driver need a licence in the waters you cruise.
- Is it certified for the country you import it into.
- Who services it, and how do parts reach you.
- What does the price include: engine, trailer or cradle, freight, duty, tax.
Questions buyers ask on WhatsApp
How much does a Seabob cost?
A US retailer's 2026 list gives USD 9,980–17,780 depending on the model, from the F5 to the F5 SR. Each carries one rider. For comparison, the jet car price page lists a four-seat craft from USD 24,490 without engine.
What are the best water toys for yachts when guests will not ride a jet ski?
A toy they can sit in. A jet car has 4 seats, a steering wheel and a throttle, so guests ride as passengers. The storage and crew questions are on the yacht charter page.
Can a jet car be stored on a yacht?
Only on a large yacht with a tender garage or deck space and a crane rated for it; check real dimensions and weight from the quote. Otherwise it lives at the marina or on a floating dock. Owners with a villa berth should read buying for private use.
Is a jet car a toy or a boat?
Legally a boat: it has a hull and a jet drive and is registered as a vessel. In use it is a toy for short rides and a shuttle for four. It does not drive on land; see how a jet car works.
What luxury water toys can I buy for under USD 50,000?
From the published lists: any Seabob model (USD 9,980–17,780), a new jet ski (USD 7,000–22,600), or a jet car without engine at USD 24,490–28,990. A complete jet car is about USD 50,000. Trims are compared on the jet car for sale page.
Do you deliver worldwide?
We deliver jet cars only. Gulf countries are reached in 2–5 days by road; other destinations go by container, with freight quoted per shipment. Duty, tax and registration are the buyer's. See delivery.
