pierpaolo lazzarini's next generation jet capsule is bigger and faster

italian water mobility company jet capsule unveils its 2021 lineup: the jet capsule due punto zero (2.0) and the hyper jet capsule. designed by pierpaolo lazzarini, these two new models both measure 9.5m in length and are available in full electric mode. specifically developed for transportation, the company offers various customizations and layouts: from a private vessel to one that accommodates 20 passengers.

the jet capsule due punto zero (2.0) is also dubbed ‘LX’ due to the extra length this model provides. the body of the watercraft is made from a combination of carbon fiber and fiberglass. a newly designed LED headlight system offers the possibility to adjust the light intensity and inclination. the front is also equipped with a water surface scanner in order to prevent debris.

on board, the craft features a protected deck and seating area, which in the version without a toilet accommodates up to 20 passengers plus a captain. alternatively, with the addition of a toilet, 16 passengers can fit with space leftover for one wheelchair or a baggage compartment. there’s also a more spacious leisure version designed for just 10 people. the jet capsule is rina and CE certificated and registered upon the international IMO classification rules of ‘passenger boat’.

instead of the twin yanmar engines, there’s also the option to install a triple electric engine set up with 450 kW of electric power. with this configuration, the boat has the possibility to sail, dock and maneuver in full electric mode with speeds up to 30 knots. a hybrid setup is also available in the new jet capsule lineup.

depending on the chosen power, jet capsule due punto zero (2.0) can comfortably cruise at a speed between 35 to 45 knots. however, in the hyper jet version, the vessel can reach over 60 knots. both models are equipped with a twin 24,000 BTU air conditioning system. the due punto zero (2.0) retails from $500,000 USD, reaching up to $1 million for the hyper jet version, which features a full dry carbon body (-600kg) with up 1250hp. see the previous jet capsule models on designboom’s dedicated page here.
