Warranty

24 months from transfer including the battery, with an annual inspection at an authorised facility

Depth

Cayago's own data sheet, read July 2026, gives a depth-sensor safety cut-off at 3.0 m and an electronic control system settable to a maximum of 25 m, and publishes no top speed for the F9 or F9 S

Flag reach

Part A Chapter 14 of the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code covers the United Kingdom, the Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man and the other British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, so a Cayman-flagged yacht is inside the same chapter MGN 681 interprets

Cayman Islands Shipping Registry

no separate lithium battery shipping notice in its published notices as of July 2026, so REG Yacht Code Chapter 14 plus a vessel-specific risk assessment is the operative standard

Marshall Islands

the 2026 edition of Yacht Code MI-103, effective 1 January 2026, introduces specific rules for spaces used to store or charge lithium-ion powered toys and tenders

Malta

a Transport Malta Commercial Yachting Notice of 22 June 2022 and Information Notice 45 of 7 September 2022, both written as strong recommendation, with the Commercial Yacht Code 2025 Revision 1 as the surveyed document

IMO

no mandatory instrument covering portable lithium battery powered craft aboard yachts as of July 2026

Class

DNV's Battery (Safety) notation triggers only above 50 kWh aggregate installed capacity. Lloyd's Register LR-GN-052 of 10 June 2025 is advisory guidance, not a rule

Certified charging locker

no marine manufacturer publishes a price. EN 14470-1 Type 90 industrial cabinets listed at EUR 3,270 net (asecos ION-CHARGE 90, July 2026) and GBP 4,571.04 net or GBP 5,485.25 gross (asecos ION-CORE-90, United Kingdom, July 2026)

The SEABOB battery is integrated and does not come out. No spare pack appears on Cayago's EMEA list of September 2025 or on the Maltese dealer list of May 2026, and no replacement price is published

MCA Safety Bulletin 35, updated 15 November 2024: a container marketed as fully MGN 681 compliant was found not able to comply fully, and the MCA noted that no international standard governs these products

الصانع الألماني Cayago

الـ SEABOB تبنيها Cayago، شركة ألمانية انأسست في 2007 عشان تطور قوارب مائية عالية الأداء. ومن البداية ركزت على فكرة وحدة، وهي زلاجة كهربائية قوية يمسكها السابح ويوجهها في الماء. وCayago كانت من أول الشركات اللي جابت الدفع الكهربائي لهذا النوع من ألعاب الماء الشخصية. وSEABOB صارت منتجها المميز وأعطت العلامة وضعا شبه أيقوني على اليخوت. والشركة استمرت في صقل التصميم على مدى أكثر من عقد.

وCayago تحط SEABOB كمنتج مهندس فاخر مو كلعبة مسبح بسيطة. وجودة البناء والمواد والإلكترونيات موجهة لمشترين يتوقعون نفس مستوى اليخوت اللي تحملها. وهذا التركيز على الهندسة خلى العلامة قدام المقلدين الأرخص. واسم SEABOB ينستخدم الحين شبه اختصار للفئة كلها. وقاعدتها التصنيعية الألمانية جزء من هالسمعة.

الـ F5 والجيل الأحدث

جوهر المدى من زمان هو F5 والأقوى F5 S، زلاجتان انسيابيتان تحملان الراكب على السطح وتحته. وهذي الموديلات وضعت معيار الأداء في الفئة ومنظر معتاد قبالة منصات سباحة اليخوت. ونسخة F5 SR الأكثر تركيزا أضافت سرعة إضافية للراكبين المتحمسين. ومؤخرا أدخلت Cayago جيلا جديدا، F9، بتصميم مظهر من استوديو Porsche للتصميم. والمدى يغطي راكبين من السباحين العابرين لللي يبون أقصى أداء.

والـ SEABOB تشتغل بسحب الماء عبر نفاث ودفع الراكب للأمام، وينتحكم فيها بمقبض بسيط وميل الجسم. وتقدر تمشي على السطح مثل لوح الجسم أو تغوص للأسفل لسابح بقناع. والموديلات المختلفة تعرض قوة وخصائص غوص مختلفة. والنسخ الأحدث تجيب بطاريات وإلكترونيات محدثة لصيغة مجربة. وCayago استكشفت كمان نسخا خاصة مع شركاء من عالم السيارات.

الزلاجة الكهربائية اللي صارت اللعبة المفترضة قبالة كل منصة سباحة على يخت.

دفع كهربائي وتحكم ذكي

في قلب SEABOB دفع نفاث كهربائي قوي تغذيه بطارية قابلة للشحن. وما في بنزين ولا عادم ولا مروحة مكشوفة على الراكب. والنظام يدير توصيل الطاقة بحيث يقدر المبتدئ يتمشى والخبير يتسارع بقوة، بنفس الجهاز. والطفو مضبوط بحيث ترجع الزلاجة طبيعيا باتجاه السطح، وهذا يضيف هامش أمان. وهالمزيج من القوة والتحكم هو اللي يفصل SEABOB عن سكوتر بحري بسيط.

وإبقاء كل هذا موثوقا في الماء المالح مهمة هندسية جادة. والإلكترونيات لازم تكون مختومة والبطارية مدارة والدفع محميا من التآكل. وتركيز Cayago الطويل على منتج واحد خلاها تصقل هالتفاصيل عبر سنين موديلات كثيرة. والنتيجة لعبة تحس سريعة وحيوية ومع ذلك تظل قابلة للإدارة عند ضيوف ما استخدموا وحدة في حياتهم. وهالسهولة جزء كبير من نجاحها على يخوت التشارتر.

أول شي ينزل من منصة السباحة

على يخت راسي، SEABOB غالبا أول لعبة تنزل الماء. والضيوف يستخدمونها عشان يستكشفون خليجا أو يسبحون أسرع مما يقدرون بأنفسهم، وينزلقون جنب شعبة بقناع. وتناسب مدى واسعا من الأعمار والقدرات، وهذا يخليها مثالية لمجموعة مختلطة على المتن. والطاقم يقدر يسلم وحدة بشرح قصير ويخلي الضيوف يستمتعون بها بأمان. وسهولة الاستخدام هذي تشرح ليش كل يخت تقريبا يحمل وحدة على الأقل.

والزلاجة تركب بأناقة في خزانة الألعاب وتنشحن من كهرباء اليخت نفسه. ودفعها الكهربائي النظيف يعني انها تنستخدم قريب السباحين والشواطئ بدون أبخرة ولا مروحة خطيرة. وبالنسبة للعوائل هي مفضلة لأن الأطفال والكبار يقدرون يركبونها. وSEABOB صارت جزءا من الصورة المعتادة ليوم على المرساة. وقليل من ألعاب الماء مرتبطة بهذي القوة بحياة اليخوت.

لعبة الماء الفاخرة الافتراضية

SEABOB وصلت موقعا يحسدها عليه معظم الصانعين، وهو ان تكون الخيار المفترض في فئتها. ولما يذكر يخت ألعابه، تكون SEABOB بينها دايما تقريبا. ومزيج العلامة من الأداء والسلامة والتشطيب خلاها المعيار اللي ينقاس عليه الآخرون. وارتباطها بتصميم Porsche في الموديل الأحدث يعزز هالصورة الفاخرة. وCayago حولت اختراعا في مجال ضيق لجزء متوقع من تجربة اليخت.

وبالنسبة للملاك، الجاذبية ان SEABOB ببساطة تشتغل وتبين مناسبة. وهي لعبة يعرفها الضيوف ويستمتعون بها بدون تعليمات، وتنعكس زين على اليخت. والدفع الكهربائي يناسب كمان تحرك القطاع باتجاه معدات أهدا وأنظف. واستثمار Cayago المستمر في موديلات جديدة يخلي المدى معاصرا. وSEABOB تظل لعبة الماء اللي تحدد الفئة اللي أنشأتها.

The SE63 for Lamborghini

Cayago has built a licensed special edition with Automobili Lamborghini, and it is a different machine. The SE63 runs a 6.3 kW motor at 162 TP, nearly three times the plain F9, weighs 35 kg, runs about 60 minutes and is quoted at 35 km/h, roughly 19 knots, with the optional rear-mounted Performance Board fitted. Production started in the second quarter of 2026 with deliveries from that summer.

The 63 refers to 1963, when Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the car company. A figure of 63 knots circulates on social media and on review aggregators and appears nowhere in Cayago's technical documentation. The SE63 is allocation only and priced on application, in six Lamborghini finishes not offered on the standard machines.

What it costs, and when that was quoted

Cayago's EMEA list of September 2025 puts the F9 at EUR 9,285 net of VAT and the F9 S at EUR 12,380 net. A Mediterranean dealer publishing Maltese gross figures in May 2026 showed EUR 10,956.30 for the F9 and EUR 14,608.40 for the F9 S with 18 percent VAT applied. Every regional number moves with the tax rate and the exchange rate, so the net figure is the one to compare.

The options are not trivial against the base price. The same 2026 list showed Battery Capacity Plus at about EUR 847 gross, the driving stability system at about EUR 490 on the F9, a lifting dock at about EUR 1,095, a rack at about EUR 348, a bag at about EUR 352 and a cover at about EUR 99. Add the quick charger and a spare battery and a well-equipped F9 S lands close to EUR 20,000.

Lithium aboard, and which flags it actually binds

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency issued MGN 681 (M) Amendment 1 on 19 December 2025, covering fire safety, stowage and charging of small electrically powered craft and their lithium-ion batteries aboard yachts. Under it, lithium-ion batteries may only be charged aboard inside a certified container or space, any spare or removed battery above 100 Wh must sit in a dedicated cabinet built to EN 14470, EN 16121 or EN 16122, and from 1 January 2027 those containers on UK-registered vessels must carry UK type approval from a nominated body. The reach is wider than the initials suggest, because MGN 681 sits on Part A Chapter 14 of the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code, and the Red Ensign Group is not only the United Kingdom. The Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man and the other British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies register under the same code, so a Cayman-flagged yacht is already inside Chapter 14. The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry goes further than the Code. Guidance Note 06/2023, read July 2026, annexes the United Kingdom's MGN 681(M) on the fire safety and storage of small electric powered craft and strongly recommends it be followed on every yacht that carries them, so a surveyor works to Chapter 14, that note and a vessel-specific risk assessment together.

The two flags outside the Red Ensign Group have moved separately and unevenly. The Republic of the Marshall Islands rewrote Yacht Code MI-103 with a 2026 edition effective 1 January 2026, and that edition introduces specific rules for spaces used to store or charge lithium-ion powered toys and tenders, so an RMI yacht now has a code requirement of its own rather than a borrowed one. Malta moved earlier and more softly. Transport Malta's Merchant Shipping Directorate issued a Commercial Yachting Notice on battery charging and storage aboard commercial yachts dated 22 June 2022, and Information Notice 45 on lithium-ion battery fires dated 7 September 2022, both framed as strong recommendation, with the firm requirement being that any suspect or defective pack is landed immediately and that deviations from the Commercial Yacht Code need the administration's approval. A Maltese yacht is surveyed against the Commercial Yacht Code, at its 2025 revision, not against MGN 681. The practical answer for an owner buying three SEABOBs is that the charging arrangement should be built to the strictest of the three, because flags change hands more often than garages get rebuilt.

Warranty, service and the alternatives

Cayago gives 24 months from transfer, batteries included and without a separate cycle limit, registered to the original purchaser. The warranty requires an annual inspection at an authorised facility and excludes use outside normal use, which is the clause that matters to anyone chartering the yacht. Declare the charter profile to Cayago before delivery, because those cases are assessed individually. Opening or modifying the machine voids it outright.

The rivals are the electric surfboards and the foils, not other sea scooters, because they compete for the same platform time and the same charging locker. A SEABOB works for a guest who cannot ride anything, at any age, with five minutes of instruction, which is where Awake, Fliteboard, Lift Foils and JetSurf all lose. It also does not get anyone out of the water, and after twenty minutes some guests want to stand up.

What class and the IMO add, and what they do not

Nothing at the International Maritime Organization binds a water toy today. The IMO's work on lithium-ion batteries has run through the Maritime Safety Committee's review of alternative fuels and new technologies, where MSC 109 added swappable traction battery containers to the list under review and identified nineteen regulatory gaps, eleven of which were confirmed for further work, and MSC 110, sitting from 18 to 27 June 2025, closed the review of regulatory barriers. None of that has yet produced a mandatory instrument reaching a 1.2 kWh sled in a yacht garage, and an owner told that the IMO requires something should ask which instrument.

Class arrives at the same place from a different direction. DNV's Battery (Safety) notation becomes mandatory where installed battery capacity exceeds 50 kWh in aggregate, which is more than forty times an F9 S pack, so a locker full of toys never triggers it. What the societies have produced is advice rather than rule. Lloyd's Register published LR-GN-052, Guidance Notes on Lithium-Ion Battery Powered Crafts and Vehicles carried on Yachts, on 10 June 2025, addressed to designers, builders and operators. DNV, Lloyd's Register, RINA, Bureau Veritas and ABS formed a Yacht Safety and Environmental Consortium in 2024. The obligation a yacht is actually surveyed against still comes from the flag, not from class and not from the IMO.

What the certified charging space costs

No manufacturer of a marine lithium charging locker publishes a price. The active-suppression systems yacht suppliers sell against MGN 681, the RACLAN boxes and the modular RAMBSS, and the passive ZARGES BatterySafe cases, were all quotation only in July 2026. The published prices that do exist are for shore-side industrial cabinets built to EN 14470-1 Type 90, which is one of the standards MGN 681 names for spare-battery stowage. A German supplier listed an asecos ION-CHARGE 90 with pull-out shelves at EUR 3,270 net of VAT in July 2026, and a United Kingdom supplier listed the taller asecos ION-CORE-90 at GBP 4,571.04 net or GBP 5,485.25 gross. Those figures set the order of magnitude for a box, not the cost of a compliant installation.

The SEABOB makes the problem harder than an eFoil does, because the battery does not come out. The ION-CHARGE 90 has an internal envelope of 470 by 452 by 582 mm and shelves rated at 25 kg, which suits a removable eFoil pack and will not take a sea sled. On a SEABOB the certified space has to be a compartment designed into the yacht rather than a cabinet bought and bolted down, and that is a refit drawing and a yard bill rather than a purchase order. One warning belongs alongside any quotation. In Safety Bulletin 35, updated 15 November 2024, the MCA found that a lithium storage container marketed as fully compliant with MGN 681 was not able to comply fully, stated that no international standard governs these products, and advised that any certification a manufacturer claims should be viewed with caution.

لمين هو: ملاك اليخوت وضيوف التشارتر اللي يبون لعبة ماء كهربائية سريعة وآمنة يقدر يركبها أي أحد على المتن.
