Transparent Canoes

This Canoe Enhances Your Journey Through the Ocean

— January 6, 2015 — World
Available at Hammacher Schlemmer, this transparent canoe/kayak is a unique watercraft that offers amazing views of the ocean below.

Made with a durable polymer material, the translucent two-seat vessel can accommodate up to 425 pounds. Users can adjust the seat to their preferred measurements, while the paddles are purposefully kept low to the deck to maintain better balance. Moreover, the structure displaces more water than the average canoe, allowing for greater surface stability.

If you're interested in viewing the wildlife below you as you paddle through the water, it's going to set you back a few dollars: the transparent canoe/kayak is priced at $2,500 dollars, which includes opaque paddles, paddle leashes and flotation devices for extra safety.
