Every once in a while, we run across a product that's more or less self-explanatory. Such is the case with the Hot Tub Boat ($TBA). Capable of holding six people on the water or eight at the dock, this buoyant soaking tub is powered by an electric motor that pushes you along at a leisurely pace of five-or-so knots, so as to not splash around the water inside — that's your job, after all.

Traverse the sea on a piece of living history by hopping aboard this Patrol Torpedo Boat ($1 million). One of only 12 remaining WWII PT boats in the world — and the only one licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard for carrying passengers — she's armed (weapons deactivated, of course) with multiple .50-caliber machine gun stations, a cannon, four torpedo tubes, and two depth charge launchers, and also features a triple-ply mahogany hull, modern electronics, radar, and two turbo-charged diesel engines good for 1,100 hp and a top speed of 42 knots.

Jeeps may make great off-road vehicles, but for towing things? Not so great. So instead of trying to pull an Airstream behind your Wrangler, why not combine the two and drive the Jeep Action Camper (€40,000; roughly $54,000)? Designed for two-person expeditions and built on the Wrangler Unlimited, the Action Camper offers a pop-up roof, a fiberglass body, a king-size bed, plenty of storage, a mini-kitchen with three-burner stove and refrigerator, a toilet with optional kitchen sink shower, and a fold-up dining area. Basically everything you need, packed in to one rugged, relatively small package.
Looking for the lightest bike frame you can find? You'll be hard-pressed to find one lighter than the Delta 7 Arantix Mountain Bike ($TBA). Featuring a patented IsoTruss carbon fiber and Kevlar open lattice tube design — correctly described as "spider web-like" — this off-road beast weighs in at just 2.74 lbs., and can be ordered frame-only, or outfitted with SRAM or Shimano bike components.
Behold the awesome old school goodness of these vintage-printed, buttery-soft Homage T-Shirts. They turn back the clock with shout outs to eclectic moments and personalities in sports, music, politics and popular culture. From Bruce Lee to Larry Bird, the tees tell stories of triumph, individualism and hustle. Pay Homage.
Yes, it's a terrible name — but you and up to three of your buddies will find it far from terrible when you're out on the trail. The Kawasaki Teryx4 750 4×4 EPS LE ($16,000 and up) offers room for four, a 749cc V-twin engine for plenty of power, Electric Power Steering for added stability, all-new bodywork with a car-worthy paint job, sport-focused suspension, 12-inch cast aluminum wheels, Maxxis Bighorn 26-inch tires, a continuously variable transmission, electronic three-mode 4WD, and loads of conveniences like a roomy cargo area, full instrumentation, and ample cup holders.
You're not going to trick anyone into thinking its a normal land-dwelling vehicle, but that has no effect on the utility of the Phibian ($TBA). Touted by the company as the largest wheeled High Speed Amphibian ever created, it can reach highway speeds on land and 30+ mph on water, while carrying up to 1,500 kg of cargo or 15 passengers, and offering 500 hp and selectable four-wheel-drive. Great for hunters, owners of small islands, and really ballsy drug runners. [Scouted by Eric]
Tear up the icy landscape in the retro-styled Arctic Cat ProCross F 1100 50th Anniversary Snowmobile ($13,000). Powered by a turbo 4-stroke, 1056cc twin-cylinder engine that puts out an intense 177 horsepower, this beast features electric start, RMC brake system, deluxe digital/analog gauge (with speed, tach, odometer, trip meters, engine hour meter, clock, fuel level indicator, and altimeter), Arctic Race Suspension with Fox Float 2 shocks and sway bar, electronic push-button reverse, and vintage Arctic Cat 50th anniversary graphics. Also available in a special Uncrate colorway.
If your adventures take you too far off the beaten path for most tow-behind campers, perhaps its time to make the trek down under to check out a Track Tvan Camper Trailer ($35,000-$50,000). Available in four different models, each Tvan offers rugged riveted steel & aluminum construction, thick automotive seals and compression catches for dust- and water-free cabins and lockers, and customized suspensions to match your towing vehicle, fabric-lined roofs, checker plate decks, off road electric brakes, multiple 12V power outlets, firewood racks, and LED tail lights. All you need now is somewhere to go.
The Swiss Army Knife of trailers? A godsend for adventurous small car owners? A bright green blemish on the vast wasteland of asphalt we call an Interstate system? You decide. The SylvanSport Go Camper Trailer ($8,000) is unique in its versatility, as it weighs only 840 lbs., yet can pack up to a dozen bikes, kayaks, two dirt bikes, an ATV, or whatever form of transportation you require, while still functioning as a camper, with insulated bed platforms, a self-inflating mattress, and a secure entry — everything you need to hold your own private X Games in the woods.
"Ground Boat"? Yup, that's right. The Iguana 29 Ground Boat ($TBA) is a unique vessel that sports a pair of retractable all-terrain caterpillar tracks to let it traverse terra firma as well as the open seas, eliminating the need for marinas, docks, and other vestments of traditional watercraft. Of course, it's also designed for discerning owners, and as such offers open-water speeds of up to 35 knots, a teak floor, and room for up to 10 passengers.
Odds are you're going to have a pretty hard time finding a like-new vintage Airstream — unless, of course, you plan on bidding on the Orvis Timeless Airstream ($75,000; Auction). Based on a 1954 Airstream Flying Cloud Trailer that once served as a hunting and fishing lodge in Oregon, this completely restored and reimagined trailer features a hand-polished exterior, a lush interior that makes liberal use of wood, copper, and leather, all-new running gear to ensure a safe ride, and all the creature comforts you'd expect from a modern tow-behind in a classic package.
Enjoy the timeless art of boating aboard an equally timeless watercraft with the Hacker Craft Neiman Marcus Edition Speedboat ($250,000). This 27-foot solid mahogany vessel takes 1,400 hours to build — by hand, of course — and offers features such as a Mercury 8.2 High Output engine producing 425hp, a gold-leafed waterline, underwater lighting, a deep violet bottom, cream-colored seating, GPS, a refrigerator, a monogrammed humidor, and a premium stereo system. In addition, $3,000 of the purchase goes to the Double H Ranch, a program that provides year-round support for families with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses.
