Comedian Bill Hicks once said, "Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a jet ski, and you never see an unhappy person riding a jet ski." Mr. Hicks, and most of those who have copied his quote since, never saw someone ride Kawasaki’s new 310-horsepower jet ski, the Ultra 310.

While this capsule won’t actually launch you into space, it will take you wherever you need to go fast, if you’re going over water that is. The Jet Capsule uses a propulsion system that is akin to jet skis, and I’m sure they will start zipping around marinas everywhere pretty soon.
The Jet Capsule measures 24 feet in length, and with the amount of money you pay for it, you can customize it to your heart’s desire. It uses a propulsion system that can have up to two engines producing 350hp each, giving a top speed of 57 mph.
You’ll have to pay $250,000 and more to get your own. You’ll have to decide whether to use it to ferry to your passengers to your super yacht or use it as a mini-yacht itself.
