Water stops being
an obstacle.

An EKRANOPLANO™ is a new type of personal recreational watercraft that travels very close to the surface of the water by harnessing ground effect. It combines features of a boat, a hovercraft and a wing-in-ground (WIG) effect vehicle to deliver a unique and fun experience.

No.

The EKRANOPLANO™ is a watercraft that travels very close to the surface of the water, harnessing ground effect to improve efficiency and reduce drag.

It is not an airplane and is not designed for conventional flight.

It is best described as a wing-in-ground (WIG) effect watercraft. Depending on local legislation, authorities may classify it in different ways. Owners must always comply with the regulations applicable in their region.

Depending on the model and the installed power:

• Recreational models: 30–45 km/h
• Sport models: 50–70 km/h

EKRANOPLANO™ models currently use low-consumption gasoline engines, providing an excellent combination of range, mechanical simplicity and ease of operation.

In the future, electric, hybrid versions or special configurations could be developed for customers with specific requirements.

The first model is designed for one adult.

In the future, two-seat versions could be developed.

Yes.

The EKRANOPLANO™ can be used for recreational fishing and artisanal coastal fishing in calm waters.

It is ideal for:

• Artisanal coastal fishing
• Lakes
• Protected bays
• Lagoons
• Recreational exploration

It is intended for catching small and medium species in low-energy environments. It is not designed for big-game sport fishing or for catching large, powerful species that require larger, specialized boats.

Consumption depends on:

• Speed
• Wind
• The load carried
• Water conditions

Thanks to its ground-effect design, the EKRANOPLANO™ can travel with high energy efficiency compared to many traditional recreational watercraft.

Range depends on operating conditions and fuel tank capacity.

Current models are designed to offer several hours of recreational use with low gasoline consumption.

Because it currently offers the best combination of:

• Low cost
• Wide fuel availability
• Ease of maintenance
• Good range
• Reliability in aquatic environments

No.

The controls are designed to be intuitive and similar to those of a small recreational watercraft, although basic training is always recommended before operating any watercraft.

Depending on the model:

• Foam core
• Fiberglass
• Structural carbon-fiber reinforcements
• Marine-grade aluminum fittings

Weight varies depending on the version and installed equipment.

The EKRANOPLANO™ has been designed to be lightweight, making it easier to transport, handle and store.

Safety is our top priority.

Safety features include:

• Propeller guard
• Wide, stable hull
• Positive flotation
• Low center of gravity
• Emergency shut-off switch
• Recommended use of a life jacket

Like any small watercraft, improper use or adverse conditions can create risks. The design prioritizes stability and must be used responsibly.

The EKRANOPLANO™ has positive buoyancy and continues to float like a conventional watercraft.

If the engine shuts off, the operator can safely remain on board while restarting the engine or requesting assistance.

Like any watercraft, there is a risk of damage if it strikes solid or floating objects.

The EKRANOPLANO™ is built with durable materials and a structure that helps absorb moderate impacts, but it is the operator's responsibility to navigate attentively and avoid obstacles.

It is always recommended to operate in familiar areas or with good water visibility to reduce risks.

Ideal conditions are:

• Lakes
• Calm rivers
• Protected bays
• Coastal areas with low waves

It is not designed for open sea with strong waves.

Yes.

The EKRANOPLANO™ is designed to operate in both fresh water and salt water. Like any marine craft, it is recommended to rinse it with fresh water after use in saline environments.

The EKRANOPLANO™ operates very close to the water surface, harnessing ground effect to improve efficiency and reduce drag.

The exact height depends on speed, load and operating conditions.

Not necessarily.

Thanks to its compact size and low weight, it can be launched from beaches, suitable shorelines, boat ramps or low docks, depending on local conditions.

No.

The design aims to use simple components and accessible materials to keep maintenance and repair costs low.

Yes.

Thanks to its compact dimensions and low weight, the EKRANOPLANO™ can be easily transported on a light trailer.

Depending on the model, it can also be carried on a roof rack mounted on trucks or SUVs.

This makes it easy to take to lakes, rivers, beaches and other destinations without specialized transport equipment.

Thanks to its lightweight design, the EKRANOPLANO™ can be easily moved by a single person by dragging it over suitable surfaces.

To lift and carry it manually, two people are usually recommended.

Its low weight makes transport, launching and storage easier compared to many traditional watercraft.

Yes.

Planned options include:

• Fishing accessories
• Custom colors
• Storage solutions
• Special build-to-order configurations
• Performance packages

License, registration and operating requirements vary by country or region. Always check with the relevant maritime authorities.

EKRANOPLANO™ craft are designed and manufactured in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

Our goal is to develop an innovative watercraft using local talent, engineering and manufacturing, maintaining high standards of quality and control throughout the production process.

Every EKRANOPLANO™ is delivered with a limited one-year warranty against manufacturing and material defects.

In addition, each unit includes a protective cover designed to help shield the craft from prolonged sun exposure, dust and other environmental elements when not in use.

With proper use and by following care and storage recommendations, the EKRANOPLANO™ is designed to provide many years of service and fun.

Yes.

If you would like to see the EKRANOPLANO™ in person or take part in future demonstrations and test drives, get in touch with us.

We will be announcing dates, locations and test availability as the prototype development and validation program progresses.

The EKRANOPLANO™ harnesses ground effect, an aerodynamic phenomenon that occurs when a lifting surface travels very close to the water.

Air is partially compressed between the vehicle and the surface, generating additional lift that reduces drag and improves energy efficiency.

The result is a smooth, stable and efficient gliding sensation over the water, with lower energy consumption than many conventional watercraft.

An EKRANOPLANO™ was conceived with a different philosophy.

While a jet ski is mainly oriented toward speed and aggressive riding, an EKRANOPLANO™ aims to offer:

• Greater comfort
• Greater stability
• Quiet navigation
• Coastal exploration
• Recreational fishing
• Scenic cruising
• The unique sensation of gliding over the water

For many people it represents a more relaxed and versatile experience than a traditional jet ski.

Yes.

Thanks to ground effect, the EKRANOPLANO™ significantly reduces drag by traveling very close to the water, allowing lower fuel consumption to cover similar distances.

Compared to a jet ski, which requires more power to stay on plane, the EKRANOPLANO™ can offer better energy efficiency, especially on steady runs at moderate speeds.

This translates into greater range, lower fuel costs and a more efficient experience overall.
