A motor boat shaped like a Ferrari took to the water, surprising locals in the city of Vladivostok, which is home to the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy.
The motorized vehicle was filmed being driven by its happy owners who use it for trips in Novik Bay, a bay in the Peter the Great Gulf in Vladivostok which is the biggest Russian port in the Pacific Ocean.
The two-seater vehicle, which is really a personal watercraft with an upgrade, then hops along the water carrying thrill-seeking couple Tatiana, 34, and Roman, 31, the owners of the high-end red motor boat.
In an interview with Zenger News, Tatiana, who owns a personal watercraft rental business in the port city, explained that the cost of riding the vehicle is 20,000 rubles ($320) while a “photo session” with the Ferrari-inspired craft costs 5,000 rubles ($80).
She added: “We decided to do water equipment rental purely by chance. We are jet ski enthusiasts, we have been riding for five years and we already know all the routes, it became boring and we decided that we could travel around the islands with people, organize excursions.”
The craft recently turned the heads of local residents who noted the unusual water transportation vehicle sailing across their waters, according to local media reports from August 25.
One resident allegedly stated: “Only in Vladivostok is there a Ferrari that moves on water.”
Tatiana explained: “What is good about it is that you can ride in it dressed, in your usual clothes. She rides well, the main thing is that there needs to be no big waves.”
While the cost of manufacturing the Ferrari personal watercraft hybrid is unclear, the adapted motor boat was made in a specialized service center, according to local media reports.
Tatiana added: “I like driving it, it’s not like a motor boat, here you really sit comfortably, press your foot on the gas, steer–everything is like a real car, there is music, it goes back and forth (no traffic jams).
“I recently took my friend from Churkin with the car, swam up to her, sat down and we went to Chaika (water taxi).”
