The company SeaBubbles has recently approved its second model of flying bubble. It is larger and can accommodate more passengers.
Fast, stable, and above all environmentally friendly, the flying bubble attracts attention. It was in the summer of 2023 that the first model was in operation. About a hundred passengers, five per shuttle, were able to cross Lake Annecy in less than 20 minutes, for the modest sum of nine euros. Innovative and discreet, this flying capsule has everything to please and encourages the SeaBubbles company to continue its momentum. This is why in September 2024, the second model, larger and capable of transporting 8 people, was presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival. A new success raises the question: when will we have the opportunity to board these futuristic capsules?
Access for the general public is not yet on the agenda
The mayor of Paris, Anna Hidalgo, tested the very first prototype of SeaBubbles on the Seine between the Musée d’Orsay and the Eiffel Tower in 2017. She greatly enjoyed the experience and even considered making this ecological water transport accessible to the general public in the coming years. However, legal and administrative difficulties, particularly with the RATP, have delayed its commercialization. SeaBubbles has now decided to focus on selling its vehicles to private customers. However, hope remains, as SeaBubbles knows that the capsule can bring them substantial profit and many countries have shown interest, from Canada to the Netherlands, including the United Arab Emirates.
Thinking about the transport of tomorrow
It must be said that the prospects are immense as many projects are underway. SeaBubbles plans to produce driverless vehicles that can accommodate 12 or 40 people. A prototype of an electric water bus with 110 seats is also in development. With its international growth and remarkable specifications, the flying bubble is set to become a preferred mode of transport in the coming years. With the arrival of larger and autonomous versions, SeaBubbles confirms its commitment to innovation and environmental respect. This futuristic vehicle embodies an optimistic vision of a future where mobility combines sustainability and sophistication.
