This is now my favorite boat ever.

I do not know how I lived so long without knowing about The Martini 1.5 Experimental Boat. I MEAN WE SHARE THE SAME NAME. This full-suspension boat can tackle big waves, remain level and I am pretty sure just about eliminate seasickness completely (chronic seabarfs….I haz it). And the concept behind the name…ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.

Not long after that, he moved on to the idea of the Martini: a boat that rides so smoothly, no wave will spill your cocktail. -Alex Davies,Wired Magazine
