This Luxury Yacht Comes With an Amphibious Car, Hovercraft, and Jet Ski

If spending a week on a luxury yacht isn’t amusing enough for you, the multi-award-winning Exuma expedition ship comes with an amphibious car, a jet ski, and other thrilling water toys to play with.

Built for the world traveler who isn’t content sunbathing on the stern all day, Exuma’s additional water toys include a legit hovercraft originally designed for patrol and search and rescue teams, an underwater scooter by Seabob, a Seadoo RXT215 Waverunner jet ski, and a Lveco amphibious vehicle that you can take for a spin on sea and land.

And those are just the biggest toys. Toss two mountain bikes into the durable Jeep-like water car (Lveco is an Italian manufacturer who mainly produces special vehicles for firefighting and the military) and ride on a nearby island, or stay in the waves and water-ski, paddle board, windsurf, scuba dive, snorkel, or wakeboard. There are some basic inflatable water toys, too.

At first view, it’s impossible to spot any of these adventure craft since they’re stored in electronic side hatches and below-deck hideaways. Apart from gadgets and gizmos, the superyacht is packed with luxury amenities, including a jacuzzi and a gym (we gotta keep that beach body shape on the high-seas).

Custom-built and made to fit nine guests and nine crew members, the airy guest cabins consist of two master suites, two “VIP” rooms, and one twin. The yacht’s warm and woodsy interior design was done by Perini Navi and the clean, slick silver and wood exterior styling is by Vitruvius. Overall, the interior of the Exuma is comfortable and clean, but it’s a good thing the look isn’t too opulent and overdone because this is not a yacht for the homebody. (Waterbody? Seabody?) Though there’s still Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and all that good stuff, obviously.

Even Exuma’s bold aluminum hull and superstructure beg to part waves. The yacht cruises at 14 knots (16 mph), a comfortable speed designed for a minimum environmental footprint, the rental listing on Yacht Charter Fleet notes. Top speed caps off at 17 knots (19.5mph). Most of the water toys will go faster than that.

All this will “only” cost you $212,000 per week.

The Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 is an Electric Pony Car for Drag Strips
Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 1400

Even if you’ve never been to a drag strip, you certainly know a few things about drag cars. One, they’re deafeningly loud. Two, they suck down a huge amount of fuel in a short period of time. Three, they’re blindingly fast. With the new Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 prototype, Ford is looking to change the first two things, because it’s totally electric. So, it’ll still scream down the drag strip like a purpose-built dragster, but it’ll do so without using a drop of gasoline or bursting your eardrums.

This is exactly what we were thinking of when Ford said it was making an electric Mustang.

While many of us start our new car shopping with a car we happen to think looks good, it is essential to remember that today, the average cost of a new car is over $48,000. For most people, that is a sizeable investment that will be stretched over several years and should not be taken lightly. As with all significant investments, it should be thoroughly researched beyond what our neighbor or coworker says about their car.

Thankfully, Consumer Reports has done the heavy lifting for all of us, reaching out to owners nationwide. They gathered data on 2020 to early 2025 model years, totalling more than 300,000 vehicles. CR took twenty typical problem areas, ranging from cheap interior trim pieces breaking to engine and transmission maladies that can tally up to thousands of dollars to replace or repair. The scores for each area are weighted according to severity and cost, and the total of those areas results in each vehicle's Predicted Reliability Score.

While we've seen a good number of significant recalls as of late, none compare to the infamous Takata airbag recall, which has been called “the largest and most complex safety recall in U.S. history" by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 67 million airbags have been recalled, spanning 42 million separate vehicles from 34 different brands and 19 separate auto manufacturers.

According to the NHTSA, the Takata airbag problem has caused 27 fatalities and over 400 separate injuries. While the safety administration says that about 88 percent of the airbags in question have been either replaced or repaired, that still leaves a significant number of cars, along with their drivers and passengers on the road, still at risk of injury and potentially death.
