This week’s Miami International Boat Show will feature a highly innovative superyacht toy ‘Quadski’, that will be displayed by Gibbs Sports Amphibians. The groundbreaking Quadski is the world’s first high-speed amphibious craft that sets a new standard in flexibility, freedom as well as fun.
Quadski can achieve speeds of 45mph on both land and water as well as transitions between them in seconds. At the press of a button, the super yacht toy Quadski’s wheels retract after entering the water and deploy when approaching land.
Previously, no commercially available sports amphibian on the USA market has been able to exceed 10 mph on water. The difference is the breakthrough GIBBS patented High Speed Amphibian (HSA) Technology provides unique on-water performance. Unmatched freedom on land AND water, and rapid in transition – Quadski sets a new standard in flexibility, freedom and fun.
Quadski is powered by BMW Motorrad’s K1300 engine. On water the BMW engine is coupled with GIBBS patented water jet propulsion system. Excellent performance and comfortable ride are the result of a light weight composite hull, wide track and low centre of gravity, which gives Quadski robust stability on land and water.
Gibbs Sports Amphibians continues to innovate and explore the potential of the versatile Quadski. Conceptual work is underway on specialist applications for professional and recreational use.
