Water scooters (as they were originally called) were first developed in the UK and Europe in the mid-1950s, with models such as the British 200cc prop-driven Vincent Amanda and the German Wave Roller. Two thousand Vincent Amandas were exported to Australia, Asia, Europe and the United States.
1961 Skimmer/Water Skimmer could reach speeds of up to 40 km/h
The Sea Skimmer was introduced in 1961 as a highly maneuverable version of a powered surfboard. It was 5 feet (1.5 m) long, powered by an inboard/outboard engine, and reached speeds of up to 40 Km/h. The driver lay on top of the boat, controlling its speed with hand throttles and using his feet as rudders. Originally manufactured in Kansas City, the product was moved to Boynton, Florida, in 1962 and renamed Aqua-Skimmer. Aqua-Skimmer ceased operations in 1962 and sold its inventory to the military. Renamed Aqua Dart (Aqua Dart INC), the Sea Skimmer, Aqua Skimmer, Aqua Dart was modified to suit military needs and saw service on river reconnaissance missions in Vietnam in 1962 and other military missions into the 1970s.
First standing prototype
In the 1960s, the idea was further developed by Clayton Jacobson II of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA. Originally a motocross enthusiast, Jacobson's idea was conceived in the mid-1960s, powered by an internal pump jet rather than an outboard engine, made entirely of aluminum, and featured a fixed, upright handlebar. Jacobson eventually left his job in banking to devote himself to developing the idea, and by 1965 he had a working prototype. It was slightly different from modern personal watercraft, but had definite similarities. A year later he completed a second prototype made of fiberglass.
