Amazing dolphin boat for the jet set.
It looks like something from a James Bond film. Shaped exactly like a dolphin, this boat is the latest toy for millionaire adrenaline junkies. The Seabreacher can jump 10 feet in the air and even perform acrobatic tricks.
Created by two water sport fanatics, New Zealander Rob Innes, 33, and Californian Dan Piazza, the Seabreacher is made of out of fibre glass, stainless steel and aluminium and uses the discarded canopies of US fighter jets.
The two-seater craft can submerge 2 ft underwater for around 20 seconds at a time creating the dolphin-like dive effect.

The price for a custom-made Seabreacher is not for the fainthearted and would cost in the region of £40,000.
That is too much comparing to these boats:

Mr Innes said: "Because it's so light it pops out of the water like a cork. It can fly up to 10 feet in the air even if you are going at 15 mph.
Seabreacher has a long snorkel concealed within the top fin which provides an airflow into the boat. During diving the butterfly valve closes to prevent the cockpit from getting flooded. Mr Innes said: "It's perfect for rich adrenaline junkies."
