iYacht has been commissioned to help German TV and movie actor Daniel Roesner realize his vision for a "sustainable catamaran designed with circularity in mind." The 55-ft multihull will be built using scrap metal, reclaimed wood and recycled cork.

For the last few years, a startup based in La Rochelle in France has been prototyping a sailing catamaran that can be collapsed down for transport behind an ebike. The IZIBoat is now being readied for series production.

The Caracat is the latest land/water RV, combining a stable, electric-propelled boat platform with camper van features like a pop-up roof and convertible furnishings. Don't let shorelines end your adventure – camp on "sea, lake and land."
