Hovercraft, EVOlved.

Discover the future of the industry.

From rescue to recreation, the EVOlution can handle any task thrown its way. The hovercraft is the ideal amphibious vehicle, gliding over any terrain with ease - shallow water, thin ice, land, and more. The next step for this machine has arrived. Powerful yet quiet, efficient yet capable, lightweight yet tough; EVO can do it all.
This is the Hoverstream advantage.

  • ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION

    EVO uses the latest composite materials. Most commercial hovercraft are built with hand laid mat fiberglass and polyester resin... 1950's tech. EVO uses modern honeycomb and structural foam cores with vacuum infused resin injection... tech that's usually reserved for high performance aircraft and race cars.

  • HIGH STRENGTH

    Our resin infused sandwich core panels are cured under vacuum which evenly compresses the structure with nearly 2000 pounds of pressure per square foot. The result is a hovercraft that is both extremely strong and exceptionally lightweight. This state of the art process isn't limited to core structure like the floor... EVERY composite panel is built this way!

  • EFFICIENT
    Everything about EVO is designed with efficiency in mind. Less weight translates directly into extra payload. Larger fans convert more horsepower into useful air movement. Geometry tweaked through fluid dynamics analysis means that air movement will be smooth and quiet. Even the Hoverstream factory receives 100% of our electricity from efficient renewable sources.
  • CAPACITY
     EVO is a four person hovercraft. Not four child size people on a perfectly calm day. Not 4 people on ice or solid surfaces. True four person hump capacity, on water, operating normally. The way you expect it to be!
  • SIZE

    EVO's overall hull dimensions are 14 feet (4.27m) long and 7 feet (2.13m) wide. Overall height is approximately 5.5 feet (1.63m) when parked. 

  • POWER

    EVO is powered by 4 stroke industrial/commercial engines. They are quiet, efficient, extremely reliable, and have very low maintenance. Unlike our previous hovercraft, EVO's design can easily accommodate different engine manufacturers. We choose Kawasaki power due to the stellar reputation of their engine line, however other models are available upon request.
