At first glance, it doesn’t look like a boat at all. The shape, the stance, and the sharp creases all look pulled straight from an exotic car showroom, closer to a Lamborghini Aventador that somehow learned to float than anything you’d expect to find at a marina. That confusion is exactly the point, and yes, it’s completely real.
Built in Miami With a Clear Vision
This 16-foot Watersports Car Series L comes from Watersports Car of Miami, a builder known for pushing unconventional designs rather than following typical marine styling. The goal from the outset was to bring supercar design language directly onto the water, and that intent shows from every angle. Finished in a bold mix of pink, white, and teal, the fiberglass hull is shaped to mimic a modern supercar, with front and rear splitters, a rear wing, and lighting that all reinforce the illusion. The details don’t stop at the overall shape either. Headlights, taillights, wheels, and mirrors are all styled to resemble a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, giving the whole package more the feel of a concept vehicle than a traditional speedboat.
From the aggressive nose to the sculpted sides and oversized rear wing, everything about the design is built to stand out. It’s not subtle, and it was never meant to be. Even sitting still at the dock, it looks like it’s already moving.
A Two-Seat Cockpit That Feels Like a Car
Inside, the car-inspired theme continues. Two bucket seats finished in black and purple with teal piping give the cockpit a custom performance feel, and the center console and dashboard layout reinforce that automotive influence rather than a typical boat helm. Modern equipment is built in throughout, including a Yamaha Connext infotainment system, a Fusion marine stereo, and JL speakers for entertainment on the water. Controls for lights, blower, bilge pump, and horn are all integrated into a clean, uncluttered control panel.
Power Comes From Yamaha
Beneath the styling, the performance hardware is proven rather than experimental. Power comes from a 1.8-liter Yamaha inline-four engine rated at 250 horsepower, paired with a Yamaha jet propulsion system that handles both forward and reverse movement. According to the seller, the engine has logged approximately six hours of use under current ownership, and an oil change has already been completed, suggesting the boat has barely been broken in.
Built to Actually Be Used
Despite how extreme it looks, this isn’t purely a showpiece. The boat is equipped with proper navigation lights, including red and green forward-facing lights and a white rear-facing light, along with a sport exhaust system and a clear windshield for practical, everyday use on the water. The package also includes a single-axle trailer with a rolling tongue jack, hand winch, carpeted bunks, and lighting, so everything needed to transport and launch the boat is already part of the deal.
Why This One Gets Attention
Boats come in all kinds of designs, but very few commit to an automotive theme this completely. This isn’t a boat borrowing a little inspiration from car styling, it’s a boat fully built around it, down to the badges and lighting. The goal is clearly to stand out, and it succeeds without any subtlety at all. You’re not going to blend in with something like this, whether it’s tied up at a dock or moving across open water, and that visibility is clearly part of the appeal for whoever buys it.
The Bigger Question
Builds like this always raise the same question: is it about performance, or is it about making a statement? In this case, it’s doing a bit of both, since the Yamaha jet hardware underneath is legitimate performance equipment even if the bodywork is the real draw. What’s clear is that this boat was never designed to be ordinary. It was designed to be seen, talked about, and remembered, and on that front, it’s hard to argue it doesn’t deliver.
