A French company, Sea Bubbles introduced its first vessel, a five-seat hydrofoiling Bubble Taxi. The boat, called the SeaBubble, is lifted by self-stabilising foils, which make you fly on the water.

The motorboat is powered by electrical energy generated by a hydrogen fuel cell.

The hydrogen tanks provide enough energy to run for 2.5 hours before requiring a 4-minute onshore refill.
