The Must-Have Superyacht Toys of FLIBS 2023

Detailing their innovative products, Watersports Car and AquaBanas spoke with Superyachts.com at FLIBS 2023, showcasing the toys they were exhibiting at the show. Dennis Anderson, CEO of Watersports Car, gave us an insight into the company’s spectacular product: boats that contain all the qualities of a jet ski, whilst giving the outward appearance of a car. 

On display at FLIBS were two out of the five models: Series X which takes on a sports car form, and Series M which is the luxury classic car. 

Anderson commented, ‘It’s very exciting to ride… It’s a mix between a boat and a jet ski. That’s how I would describe it’, whilst acknowledging that it is a very safe watersports option, containing all the necessary safety features whilst providing a thrilling and unique experience.

These toys are perfect for superyachts, as they allow guests to have an exceptional time on the water whilst also being able to be beached like a jet ski, expanding exploration options by means of a new, eye-catching mode of water transportation. Watersports Cars are perfect for those seeking luxury as well as adventure, able to cruise the sea in style whilst being incredibly safe. 

CEO of AquaBanas, Mark Anastasia, also detailed his company’s exceptional products: floating platforms that can be hooked to the back of yachts. The flagship item of the company is the PartyBana, a recreational platform able to fit 10-12 guests. Anastasia described how the two most common charter demands in terms of inflatables are a slide and a pool; however, AquaBanas is trying to change that. With the PartyBana, the entire charter is able to fit, staying there for hours as it acts as a great entertainment space whilst giving the crew the opportunity to reset the yacht. 

AquaBanas has grown globally, 30-40 percent of the business catering to the yachting industry. Anastasia believes the product largely enhances client experience on the water in a way that has never been done before. He commented that AquaBana provides a ‘Killer living room out on the water, on a megayacht, where all the water operations are happening right around you and everybody’s just engaged together. It’s an incredible experience.’ 

These two exceptional superyacht toy companies are great examples of the highly exciting creations happening within the industry, as client experiences are enhanced and innovations become more breathtaking than ever.
