When you want to get off the sofa and enjoy some time in water but don't want to engage in a tiring swim, the Antti Laitenen 'Deserted Island Raft' is what you need.
This boat is like a miniature island set to make you feel as if you're all alone with just a beautiful palm tree for company. It took three months to build and floats effectively. Of course, it may not be the best locomotive to use if actually stranded on a desert island but it is great to take pictures with! It has two oars and maneuvers just as a one-man boat would and will be sure to attract lots of attention while in the water. Make sure to take snacks and perhaps a beer, because this boat will definitely have you feeling lonesome and starved.
