Footage of the Seabreacher X shark boat

Truly like nothing you have seen before, the Seabreacher X glides through the water like a dolphin, reaching speeds of up to 50mph thanks to its 260hp supercharged engine

Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a, er, shark? Actually the Seabreacher X, built by US-based Innespace, is a submersible watercraft that can reach speeds of up to 50mph, albeit in a rather dolphin/shark-like guise.

The company says this latest X model has a more aggressive shark-style body than its previous dolphin-inspired Seabreacher J model (although it still looks like a dolphin to us), and its 260hp supercharged engine can propel the vessel to 50mph on the surface of the water and 25mph below the surface of the water.

The Seabreacher X is a limited edition model and Innespace will only be producing 10 of these vessels, which are priced at around $80,000 (£50,340).
