Why swim when you can play Bond? This $30,000 underwater jetpack lets superyacht millionaires soar beneath the waves and see it all without raising a sweat

In the world of luxury water toys, few innovations turn heads quite like the CudaJet. Now updated for 2025, this underwater jetpack has taken a significant leap forward in performance and design. Originally launched in 2023, the CudaJet was already a standout with its sleek engineering and thrilling propulsion system. The latest version refines that foundation to deliver even greater efficiency, comfort, and underwater agility.

The 2025 CudaJet is a true backpack-style underwater propulsion device that allows users to glide effortlessly through the water like a marine predator. Instead of being strapped to the arms or legs like most other systems, the CudaJet is worn on the back via a padded neoprene harness. A hardwired handheld controller manages the speed and monitors battery life, giving the user intuitive control with just a touch.

One of the most notable upgrades in this year’s model is its enhanced battery life. While the original version offered a runtime of about 40 minutes on a 75-minute charge, the optimized battery in the 2025 edition now delivers up to 90 minutes on a single charge. That is more than double the underwater exploration time, ideal for divers who want to venture farther or stay submerged longer.

The propulsion system provides up to 88 pounds of thrust and can push the wearer through the water at a top speed of 3 meters per second. Although that speed may not sound fast, CudaJet points out that underwater drag at 3 meters per second feels like flying through the air at nearly 200 miles per hour. It is an exhilarating experience unlike any other.

The entire unit weighs 30.8 pounds on land, making it lighter than the previous model which came in at 33 pounds. The harness is available in multiple sizes, and the unit is designed for easy mounting and dismounting. It can be used at depths of up to 131 feet, making it suitable for both casual users and serious free divers.

Priced at $30,000, the CudaJet is clearly aimed at the high-end market. It comes with a two-year warranty, a luxury hard case, and a fast charger. For luxury yacht owners, it is the ultimate underwater companion, ideal for adding adventure to a Mediterranean cruise or a Caribbean escape. Its compact size and ease of use make it a perfect fit aboard private vessels where space and entertainment options are always at a premium.

Further cementing its position in the luxury sector, CudaJet has partnered with Siyam World in the Maldives to offer the world’s first underwater jetpack experience for resort guests. Visitors can now try the CudaJet in a guided setting, even earning certifications through professional instruction. It is a thrilling step toward making underwater flight an everyday holiday indulgence.
