The idea of using the power of a jetski to a larger watercraft was initiated in the early 90s, but the concept has been taken in an unusual course with this PWC-dockable Rigid Inflatable Boat. The Dockitjet uses an unsinkable RIB as an alternative for fiberglass structures, since it is more practical, stable, lightweight and fast. The Dockitjet can carry six people plus all their stuff with extreme ease.
Implications - The featured video shows the unsinkable boat in action. People who are afraid of boats may feel a little bit safer in the Dockitjet 5.6m RIB. The boat is great for fishing, going for a swim, scuba diving or just hanging out.
