The 'One 16' hybrid jet ski yacht has been designed by Amor Jimenez Chito as a multifunctional take on the jet ski and the yacht to offer operators a new kind of experience on the water. The vessel starts off with the [micro yacht design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-horizons) that will offer space for up to six people to ride during leisure cruises and features a dock in the rear for a jet ski to be positioned. This jet ski would act as the [primary propulsion system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-boat-model) for the yacht to allow operators to remove it for a quick jaunt when at sea, to allow for customization and more.

The 'One 16' hybrid jet ski yacht is the winner of the 2025 Golden A’ Design Award
