At water's edge, it quickly inflates into a dual-deck cruiser and lounge propelled along cleanly and quietly by a small electric outboard powered with help from a flexible solar panel. It invites water lovers to leave the headaches of the marina, off-season dry storage and boat trailers in the past and enjoy long days on the water atop a fun, simple, stable electric vessel.

A product of Hungary's DDD Manufaktúra, which also has an office in Germany, the Portless Catamaran relies on the type of sturdy drop-stitch hull construction used for inflatable paddleboards. At 265 lb (120 kg) all packed up, it'll take a few people to carry, but it's designed to store inside the trunk of a larger vehicle, making transport easier than with solid-hulled catamarans.
