The BeachRay is a minimalist boat that features only the most basic components, making it an easy-to-operate lounge boat perfect for chilling on calm waters. The boat is stripped down to its basic components. It's essentially a floating deck that is operated via a drive engine with basic controls.
The boat's basic structure consists of a pair of foam-filled hulls that support its flat, open deck. The deck, which measures 4.3 x 2 meters, is as minimalist as can be. It has two removable reclining beach chairs, two removable 45.5-liter coolers and a simple set of stick controls.
The BeachRay's structure is so simple that it can be broken down in under 10 minutes with basic tools for off-season storage. It is also very lightweight at just 150 kg, and can be easily towed to and from the waters.
