15 FASTEST Boats Ever Made
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2022
- Most boat designs focus on luxurious comfort or capacity rather than raw power and speed… but, over the years, a number of vessels have been built that are able to travel through, or across the water far quicker than you’d expect. The best of them are even able to outperform the majority of cars that you see on the road and, in some cases, it takes an incredibly brave driver to sit behind the controls while they do so. From the speediest power boats, to yachts, and even electric powered vessels, it’s time to take a look at the top 15 fastest boats ever made.

One of your best videos. Lots of information on a rare subject that most know little about. You found the fastest boats across every genre including sail boats and luxury yachts. The focus time on each was perfect, just enough to keep me interested and informed without feeling like something was left out like many of these broad spectrum videos I find here. If you ever question your talent and wonder if you're doing the right thing go back and watch this video, study it. Then, re-adhere to the structure and principles in this one. Nice work, sir.
Ken Warby, the world water speed record holder, died last week. Would have been happy though that his record still stands. His boat is on display at the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia. One very bloody brave man indeed.
I'm so very sorry to hear that he's passed on. He was a life-long hero of mine - I've seen his boat many times and often visit Blowering Dam when I'm in the Snowies. Vale Ken.
he has always been someone i've admired. he built the SR-71 of boats ( in terms of long lasting records ) in his back yard. amazing
RIP what an innovation!
Unfortunately, Ken Warby passed away just a few weeks ago. He was testing a new boat to challenge his own record, but passed from age related complications. He was 83.
When you support someone from start and than u see him on this stage. Really feeling proud of you guys.... ❤️😍🥰
Brilliant video and fabulous craft, thanks for giving us the speeds in Km and MPH, (knots as well of course) very handy for us not used to Km speeds and landlubbers!
Very well done, great filming and very clear narration. Love this.
over 300mph? that's totally insane!! Thank you for sharing these amazing crafts and people!
As a teenager ( 15 ) on an interstate end of year 4 week trip, I saw Ken running speed trials down the dam in 78. Holy crap that thing was loud.
As country kids we didnt see many things that went fast.
To see that craft ripping past at over 300mph with about 200 feet of rooster tail was something ill always remember.
Our tour bus broke down for 4 days and we had zip to do while we waited for parts.
It was a pity we were on the opposite side of the water to where they were camped or we would have had some up close views of this awesome speedster.
Still amazes me that he built it in his back yard and it still holds the water speed record to this day.
His top speed comeing out of the measured km traps was 345 mph. Averaged with his opposite direction ( 1st ) run, gave the record of 317.58 mph.
He and his son are looking to break this record with a new boat. Hope they get it done .
Ken Warby is an Aussie legend and will be 84 years old in May this year.
World Record was set at Blowering Dam. Tumut. NSW. on 8th October 1978. The day after my Birthday.
The guy who salvaged BlueBird first collected Donald Campbell’s bones. Placed them in a box while at the bottom of the lake and when he surfaced he presented them too Campbell’s daughter as a mark of respect.
He a British legend so plz get it right 🤦🏻♂️✌️🇬🇧
Our Aussie still holds the record from 1978. 🇦🇺 👍 😊
My blessings r always with u guys, thank you n god bless everyone.😉
What blew me away (no pun intended) was the wind powered "rocket" boat reaching over 60 mph...that's incredible.
That is not a battleship. Maybe I misunderstood. I enjoy these vids very much!
Excellent video! Thanks.
I can truly appreciate what it takes to run a watercraft at speed. So far the fastest I've driven on water is 73.4 mph. It's completely unlike doing the same speed on land. There's so much information to process and every input on the wheel is magnified. I just bought a new boat and we hit 84 mph on the test run. I'm sure it will take quite a bit of wheel time to feel comfortable driving it over 75 myself, much less the 90+ mph it's capable of. At just over 21' in length and a hull under 1,500lbs, weight and balance of the boat are critical too. You definitely can't just hop into one and drive it like you stole it!
Fast. hh
fast boat makers is constantly being watched by Feds
The mortality is jawdropping in this dicipline...
Was rewatching yesterday's video till I got notified for this one
No importa no se preocupe esta bien no hay problema
Some pretty nice boots that you featured I was waiting to see a Fountain mention.
Pretty incredible, I personally know the gentleman who owns Problem Child, he took me to the place to have a look at it and all its engines, intakes, transmissions, it was absolutely surreal.
The fastest I have driven at sea is 71 Miles / 114 Kmh, this is now about 25 years ago. When you see these "water-going fighters" it is just "Jogging" in comparison. But it was fast for a self-refurbished 16 feet with a (self-refurbished) 130 outboard engine. It cost me about 2500 US + a lot of petrol to have it for two summers, but it was fun too. After that I have not been over 15 knots, thanks for a good video (all the boats were old familiar) 💖💖
Buy e haler 16
Some pretty kool boats shown
What about Unlimited Hydroplanes?
Total oversight of the most impressive boats!
The yellow boat in the teaser photo is not in the video.
+yeah. the main reason
That drag boat @1:28 nose diving at the start was insane. I've never seen anything like that was crazy 😧
Spirit of blank - all high tech modern nano carbon fiber
Spirit of Australia - plywood, 3 Jet engines, and Aussie courage!
Francisco is amazing wow
Donald Campbells body was recovered in 2001, over 30 metres from where the wreck was discovered.
He is a British Legend so please get it right :)
That is a dangerous game to play.
Lake of the Ozarks Missouri local here.. I got to see Spirit of Qatar set the record in person.. I used to work the Shootout..
I think you messed up on the top speed of the Nor Tech 52 Marauder, it can definitely go faster than 80 mph and my guess is 160+.
Bras D'or is pronounced "bra door". The hydrofoil was based on work done by Alexander Graham Bell on the Bras D'or lake in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The Blue Bird name came from Donald's father, Sir Malcolm Campbell, who also chased the water speed record. Malcolm held both water and land speed records during his lifetime.
How did an Unlimited Hydroplane NOT make it into this list?
The Nor Tech 5200 is a hell of a lot faster than 80 mph and the Spirit of Qatar IS a Mystic.
I remember going to the SDBA (Southern Drag Boat Association) races in Texas as a kid. Those things were insanely fast. My mothers friend owned a boat called predator which was fairly fast (160+ mph) but wasn’t even close to some in the higher classes. I remember boats like Aquaholic that were nitrous oxide fed absolutely stupid fast. I can remember one wrecking in the water and it was quite a sight. Front started hitting the water and rising up higher each time until it hit the water a final time and disintegrated. Took about 20 minutes to fish the capsule with the driver out. They were only able to salvage the engine sadly.
A few years ago a group found and restored Sir Donald Campbell record breaking boat, which had its last run and accident on Coniston lake during a record attempt.
Good video but it would be helpful knowing the speeds in inches per second, feet per day, yards per minute, centimeters per afternoon and astronomical units per dog year
“The spirit of Qatarrrddrrererderederereerrrrrr” 😂
Maybe not a practical fishing vessel but you could get to the middle grounds really quick.
There are some much faster foiling sailing boats than the catamaran you showed - quite few that have done short sails at close to 50kn and longer sails at ~35kn.
9:33
Fastest WARSHIP perhaps, but it's not a battleship.
It's also barely IF AT ALL faster than ships like the Pegasus (which was a similar US hydrofoil design).
and then it's the thing of military ships that still is in use that still some aspects is kept secret.
take the KNM Skjold class, they are corvettes "certified" (aka, what they want to leak of info) for 60 knots but that is with the power-output they had when released, a number that have been increased.
@@brrebrresen1367 It's an old story about the military wanting to "keep something in reserve", but it's gotten badly outdated in this age of sat recon.
I suspect it's more "force of habit" today.
The Bras d'or and Pegasus were both based on the work of Alexander Graham Bell in hydrofoil design.
@@lelandlewis7207 Isn't that true to at least some degree for ALL hydrofoils?
@@bricefleckenstein9666 yes, because Bell developed the idea, but these early hydrofoils were based more directly on his work and allowed improvements for later boats. Now, with computer modelling and better unddrstanding of profile effects and other aspects of wing design, we have moved well past it.
Your stats are off on most boats you featured. Do some more research.
do a search on foiling boats / cats, very fast racing fun
300+mph on the water is seriously impressive considering it’s double the speed of most prop planes.
I had gotten seriously close untill I had one of the oarlocks failed then exploded and caused a catestropic failure... causing the boat to tumble and sink.killing the the oarsman on impact. No bodies were ever found.
Back in the 1960s Racing craft called Canada 4 almost set record of 205 mph on Lake Muskoka , However the engine quit with in several hundred feet of the finish line and record was not broken. This vessel can be located at a museum in Gravenhurst Ont today
Skater boats are pretty damn quick for what they are. Blows most MTIs out of the water.
Having watched the unlimited hydros race at Lake Mead in the eighties, I can only appreciate the crazy bastards that pilot those vessels.
You forgot my 14ft Lund with a 9.9. 😎
Gentry Eagle?
0:56 260 mph / 418km
16:21 300 mph /482km
20:03 317,6 mph / 511km
WRONG TITLE. At no time did you include the top 15 boats. You had a varied selection of some fast boats. Very poor research or just lazy.
He didnt say top 15
Resigned to counting on "boat" hands
Advertising for rich kid toys. Nothing more than that.
Or older records. I just came across drag boat hitting 272.954 mph posted here on youtube 4 mos. ago.
Works for regards like me
A fountain v bottom is awesome
Amazing 😅😅😅😅
never loved the idea of crashing in water
I leard so much thank you
Mason McGovern sadly most of what you were told in this video is actually incorrect or incomplete at best. This is not a video you want to remember anything it reported as it is simply not true and certainly not the fastest 15 boats in any way. Claiming they never recovered cambells body when they absolutely did and it is fully documented in the film produced when they retrieved the wreckage years later. This video is really garbage when it come to actually reporting any true real facts.
5:09, hello Parker dam stretch of the Colorado River.
Drag boats are not always Hydroplanes. Actually Hydroplanes are another type of race boats that go round a track and a straight line.
Enjoyed watching the variety of boats that you showcased. Still, a little disappointed that no unlimited hydroplanes made your list.
Imagine stepping out onto the desk of a yacht moving at 80mph?
The actual world’s fastest battleship is the USS New Jersey at 35.2 knots a record set in 1968… I did like the video tho. 👍
You're a battleship.
212,000 hp for 6 hours?!!?!! WHAT?!
@@haney3435 yep, and the fuel consumption rate is approximately the same as an oil well blowout.
@@aerialcat1 that is very upsetting.
@@haney3435 Then consider that many of the fastest carriers are even faster - and MORE powerful.
I once saw in excess of 39 knots on USS Ranger during REFTRA before our 1979 WestPac tour - and that does NOT appear to have been a record.
I watched the documentary on raising his wrecked boat and they did recover cambells remains at the same time and it was documented in the film.
Proud to a Australian, And go fast
Bahahahahaha, that's like exclaiming you're proud to be a North Korean given the government oppression of the people is basically the same.
@@nezuminezuminezumi7266 You sound like a moron.
Since you made this film about Bluebird. Donald Cambells remains have been found and are interred in a graveyard in Parish Cemetery in Hawkshead Old Road, Coniston in the Lake District. I've been there and it was a very emotional time as I watched the original film of the attempt and the crash that killed him. jc
This was a good video...but the yachts need updating....the latest Americas cups boats are alot faster, not to mention the Vendee Globe yachts or even some of the French tris that race....they are alot faster than that cat you showed...perhaps you can update it with just yachts and no so many powerboats?
Fun fact that wasn’t stated is that both water speed records for both power and sail are held by Australians.
No way spirit of australia is driven by some australian
At these speeds, water is like concrete when you hit it. Double the speed and quadruple the resistance of the water.
That's the reason why you can't shoot someone with a gun if he's down on 3 meters of water, but you can hit him with a crossbow arrow.
#13 Spirit of Qatar
It's been in storage in a warehouse in Pinelass Park, Fl for years. Apparently no one wants to spend millions on a boat that they can't do anything with anymore.
The narrator says the hope is someone will bring it back to racing? I know the guy who has been storing it for years for the team. He's just hoping they pay their storage fees soon. That one boat takes up a third of his space.
Lots of interesting fast boats, but definitely NOT the top 15 fastest...
❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
imagine how far you would fly if you hit a big wave with the last one
You wouldn't even need a big wave. A little ripple going that fast your done for.
Please, just pick a measurement system
And not a single mention of SLO-MO 4 or 5? Classic thunderboats (unlimited hydroplanes) were the show in their day. Have fun
I know the guy who owns the NEED FOR SPEED boat, he used to own a duel turbine boat years ago. He didnt like the smell of the fuel, it made him puke lol.
Memang best bot2 top speed masa kini terbaik di masa akan datang 2025 k
God speed Donald Campbell
Those boats are fast but there’s a guy down here in Florida with a pontoon boat that will run 110.
👍👍👍
That is NOT a Battleship !
Cambles body was recovered
Please change the information on Malcolm Campbell. He was, in fact, recovered, in 2001 when they recovered the original Bluebird. It's one of those things I've been fascinated by even as a kid when I saw the film of the ill-fated attempt. It is all documented by the crew diving crew that did the recovery.
Charlie sheen must be really on the bones of his behind to have to do TH-cam video narration
Going fast on water takes power and balls, would of been nice to know how much fuel these water speed beasts burn through? some must be gallons per meter?
At 16:44. In regard to Donald Campbell and his K7 world record attempt on 4th January 1967, his body was eventually recovered from Lake Coniston in 2001.
Its called "Lake of the Ozarks". Qatar is pronounced kuh-tar or cutter. And My Way ran 224 at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in 2013.
Wait till elon makes his own boat out of that new spaceX engine..
I rode with the best..the man himself Reggie fountain..170.mph..that's fast..pamlico river in Washington nc..
I looked all through the comments to wait for somebody to say something about mr. Fountain.
@@rickbledsoe5064 he is a great guy...one thing is for sure,time and years past change alot of things life and the future..
🛸🛸
I’m disappointed the Gentry Eagle didn’t make the list
Scrolled until I found this.
2 waterskis, 1 SR71 Pratt & Whitney J58, remade with lighter, sturdier materials, a small fuel tank, a saddle and something to hold on to?
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
You dont put ekranoplans on the list?
i have visited the hmcs bras d or
💯👍👌
no mentions of fuel economy on these? a litre a second?
Donald Campbells remains were found
What ? no AC35 boats ? no F50 (SailGP) boats ??
The yatch cant power on full trottle the width of a whole Ocean without run out of fuel.
Jaguar super fast car!🤣😂super fast sht car😝🤣
HMCS Bras d'Or is definitely not a battleship.
Did he have modern turbine powered unlimited hydroplanes. No. Bogus story. Though some interesting boats
Tani boat 36 fear less buy Kore deba 90000 lakh lakh lakh lakh corore piece
