If you’ve ever considered a yacht too big for your watery adventures or a boat too simple, perhaps, the Spacruzzi is the exact vessel you need.
From its name, you can easily guess that the Spacruzzi involves some sort of jacuzzi. The product of an eponymous American-based company founded by Alex Kanwetz, this hot tub boat will allow you to enjoy your time in spa-temperature water even as you are surrounded by a body of water.
The Spacruzzi is a teardrop-shaped fibreglass vessel that doubles as a jacuzzi after you fill it with water and comes with a built-in gas fireplace that adds warmth to an experience that has been designed to be as luxurious as possible. It is also equipped with an internal heating and circulation system to keep the water at the right temperature, along with a UV and saltwater filtration system to keep everything clean. A small ladder on the side allows you to get in and out of the tub easily.
Measuring a little under 13 feet and weighing about 550kg when dry – a number which jumps to more than 1,800kg once it’s filled with water – the Spacruzzi can accommodate between five to six passengers comfortably.
So, how do you get this hot tub boat to access and run on water? “Options to access the water include launching with trailer, forklift, gantry, and dockside slip or mooring,” explains Kanwetz. Once on water, it is powered by a fast-charging battery pack that gives you up to five hours of runtime on a single battery. If you’re looking to spend more time at sea, all you have to do is to swap batteries.
The Spacruzzi is certified by the US coast guard and would set you back about US$48,900. However, if you’re looking to add more custom features, it will cost you more. You can visit the brand’s website to learn more.
