From foiling craft to digitally connected electric personal watercraft (PWC) and modular inflatable aquaparks, the latest superyacht toys reflect a clear shift in the market.
For owners, captains and procurement teams, quieter operation, lower maintenance demands and improved energy efficiency are becoming as important as outright performance.
Superyacht Tenders & Toys reviews the new watersports equipment and guest-activation solutions shaping the 2026 season.
Awake Navi
Awake has unveiled the Navi, a breakthrough electric watercraft that introduces an entirely new category on the water. Neither a jetboard nor an e-foil, Navi is the world’s first foiler, designed to rise above the surface and travel with minimal resistance.
By lifting clear of the water, it’s designed to deliver a calm, controlled and remarkably quiet ride. It’s a fully electric system with a carbon composite construction claiming to offer long ride times and a refined sense of motion that sets it apart from traditional powered boards.
Navi isn’t built to chase top speeds alone. According to the brand, it’s designed for riders who want something different: a more considered, more immersive experience on water. With space for up to two riders and intuitive handling, it opens the door to shared sessions and a broader range of use.
Lind Electric Surfboard
The Lind Electric Surfboard is designed to offer quiet propulsion, with precision engineering and intuitive handling. Hand-shaped from EPS foam and epoxy resin, the board delivers 20kW of power and reaches speeds of up to 37mph.
According to the developer, the Lind board features fast charging, straightforward operation, and low maintenance requirements, ensuring consistent readiness for guest use. Its compact form allows for easy storage, while the near-silent motor is designed to offer exhilarating rides without disrupting life on board or nearby vessels.
For owners and captains prioritising premium, environmentally conscious watersports equipment, the Lind Electric Surfboard stands out in the superyacht toy space.
Taiga electric jet ski
The Taiga Orca range introduces electric propulsion, streamlined design and near-silent performance to PWC, making it particularly well suited to superyacht operations. Across the range, the developer promises immediate torque delivery, controlled acceleration, and a clean, contemporary look that integrates seamlessly with any toy deck.
According to Taiga, fully electric drivetrains remove the need for fuel storage, oil changes and complex mechanical upkeep. With approximately two hours of ride time and simple charging via onboard or dockside power, the Orca models aim to provide a practical, low-maintenance option for guest use. The personal watercraft also feature clear digital displays and intuitive ride modes to suit operators of all experience levels.
For owners and captains looking for a quieter, more considered alternative to conventional jet skis, the Orca range offers a compelling solution. Robustly built and digitally connected, these electric PWCs deliver strong performance while reducing noise, servicing demands and overall operational impact.
Custom inflatable aqua park
These made-to-order inflatable water parks are designed to deliver engaging, high-energy fun on the water. Each park is built to handle demanding marine conditions while maintaining consistent reliability throughout the season.
The aqua parks offer multiple challenge elements – ideal for personal time trials or friendly group competitions across a variety of skill levels.
Every durable inflatable water park is made to order and can be supplied as a standalone feature or configured for modular integration, allowing complete flexibility to suit the vessel, guest profile and operational requirements.
Seabob F9
Drawing on more than two decades of Seabob engineering expertise, the Seabob F9 series has been developed as the successor to the F5 series, offering increased power and improved efficiency.
Engineered in Germany, Seabob says the F9 series combines advanced electric propulsion with lightweight construction to deliver responsive performance and precise control.
Its compact, ergonomic form supports confident handling, allowing guests to transition smoothly between surface cruising and underwater exploration.
Designed for ease of use across a wide range of experience levels, the intuitive control system ensures smooth acceleration and stable manoeuvrability.
Quiet operation, efficient energy management, and reliable run time make the F9 series a dependable choice for both high-energy use and relaxed exploration in demanding marine environments.
