Born from the coracle. Built for speed.

Skim across water.
All round fun.

Circraft takes the oldest boat design on earth — the round, remarkably stable coracle — and puts it on skis. The result is a fast, fun craft that rides on top of the waves instead of through them.

CORACLE
Where the idea comes from

Thousands of years of round-boat know-how

The coracle has been used on rivers and coastlines for over 2,000 years: a small, round, light craft that's almost impossible to capsize because it has no corners to catch a wave. Circraft takes that same round, stable hull and adds a pair of skis underneath — so instead of just floating, it lifts and skims across the surface at speed.

The shape that once kept fishermen safe on rough rivers now does something new: it turns choppy water into a fast, fun ride, while keeping the same remarkable stability that made the coracle last for millennia.

Why people love it

Fast, fun, and all round stable

01

Rock-solid stability

The round, enclosed hull is built on the same principle that's kept coracles steady for centuries.

02

Skims, doesn't plough

Twin skis lift the hull onto the surface, so Circraft rides over chop instead of smashing through it.

03

Genuinely different fun

Nothing else on the water looks or moves like it — see it for yourself on the videos page.

One hull, endless liveries

Wrap it in whatever the occasion needs

The round hull is a blank canvas. We've seen it in Union Jack colours, national liveries, metallic finishes, and full sponsor wraps — same craft underneath, completely different look on top.

A safer kind of thrill on the water

No handlebars, no complicated steering wheel — you turn Circraft just by leaning your weight, and it comes round on a sixpence (do those still exist?). That makes it an easy craft to hand to a guest who's never driven anything on water before.

  • ＋Round, enclosed hull is far harder to capsize than a jet ski or SeaDoo — reassuring for resorts managing risk with first-time riders.
  • ＋Body-weight steering means no controls to teach — guests are riding confidently within minutes.
  • ＋Compact footprint next to a full-size jet ski, so more craft fit on the same stretch of beach.
  • ＋Liveries can match resort branding, national flags, or sponsor colours straight out of the mould.

The mechanics

How Circraft works

A round hull for stability, twin skis for speed, and a simple idea borrowed from one of the oldest boats in the world.

From standing start to skimming

Three things make it work

1

The round hull sits stable on the water

Like a coracle, Circraft's disc-shaped hull has no bow or stern to dig in or get swamped side-on. It sits evenly on the water whichever way the waves come from, which is what makes it so hard to capsize or sink.

2

Twin skis lift it onto the surface

As power is applied, a pair of skis underneath the hull generate lift, raising the craft up so it's skimming across the top of the water rather than pushing through it — cutting drag and letting it move fast over chop.

3

The rider stays level and dry

Because the hull rides above the waves instead of through them, the ride stays flatter and drier than a conventional hull — turning rough water into part of the fun instead of a problem to fight.

4

You steer with your body, not a wheel

There's no handlebar or steering wheel to learn. Shift your weight and Circraft comes round on a sixpence — about as simple as controls get, which is exactly why first-timers pick it up in minutes.
