The present invention provides a capturing mechanism and method for the recovery of at least one vessel to at least one marine platform; the at least one vessel having at least one engagement device either permanently or at least partially reversibly connectable to the same; the capturing mechanism including: a. at least one tensioned capturing line connected to the at least one marine platform; and b, at least one line maneuvering mechanism configured to displace the at least one tensioned capturing line in at least one direction selected from a group of up, down, left, right, forward, backward, playable into the at least one marine plat form, playable out of the at least one marine platform, playable into and out of the water and any combination thereof.

A submerged floating rail transit system comprises a first rope (102), a buoyancy tank (103), a rail (104), a gear (108), a driving mechanism, a cable (110) and a second rope (111); wherein one end of the first rope is anchored to the water ground (101), and the other end of the first rope is connected with the buoyancy tank; the rail is provided on the buoyancy tank, the gear is engaged with the toothed rail of the rail, and a driving mechanism is provided on the rail; the driving mechanism drives the gear to move along the extending direction of the rail; the driving mechanism comprises a shell (105), a first motor (106), a second motor (107) and a rotating shaft (109); one end of the second rope is connected with the shell, and the other end of the second rope is connected with a ship (113) on the water surface (112); the first motor and the second motor rotate in the same direction to drive the gear to rotate, thus generating traction force, so that the driving mechanism moves along the extending direction of the rail, and the driving mechanism pulls the ship to move through the second rope. The submerged floating rail transit system solves the problem of low efficiency of submerged transportation in the prior art and realizes efficient transportation on the water surface.

A personal watercraft (PWC) is provided. The PWC includes a body having a bottom portion, a top portion covering the bottom portion, and a storage space disposed between the top and bottom portions; and a power train disposed on or in the body. The power train includes a motor, a battery, a controller, an impeller, and an impeller water pump, and is configured for moving the body through water. Further, the body and the power train collectively weigh about 150 pounds or less.

A boat is fitted with retractable wheels which can pivot between an extended land position and a retracted water position. A slot is formed in the hull of the boat. A housing sealing engages about the slot to prevent water entering the boat through the slot. The housing supports a pivot. An arm member is connected to the pivot and a wheel is connected to the arm member. The arm member can pivot through the slot between the wheel retracted and wheel extended positions.

The invention concerns a boat (10) comprising a hull (11) that is suitable for being towed on a solid surface and comprises a hitching device (30) comprising a straight drawbar (39) and a hitching mechanism (31), characterised in that the hitching device is movable in translation along an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the hull (11) between a stowed position in which the hitching device is more retracted into the hull and a deployed position in which the hitching device extends further out of the hull than when in the stowed position.
