TURN YOUR JETSKI INTO A BOAT WITH THE ONE 16 BY ONE WATER TOYS
The ONE 16 jetski extension platform is a Spanish-designed innovation that converts any personal watercraft into a 6-meter social boat capable of hosting up to six people. Designed by yacht designer Amor Jimenez Chito at Loveworks Design and developed in collaboration with Visma Naval Architects for hull optimization, the ONE 16 has won the Gold Award in the Yacht and Marine category at the A' Design Award and is now available from a starting price of 40,000 euros.
What Is the ONE 16?
The ONE 16 is a plug-and-play extension platform that attaches to the nose of a compatible jet ski, transforming it from a solo thrill machine into a sociable watercraft. The platform extends the overall length to just under 6 meters when the jet ski is engaged, which is a deliberate design choice: in Spain, vessels under 6 meters fall under the Licencia de Navegacion, meaning no additional boating licence is required beyond the standard jet ski qualification. Prospective owners outside Spain are advised to verify local licensing regulations before purchase.
Specifications
The ONE 16 hull measures 4.98 meters in length overall (6 meters when the jet ski is mounted), with a beam of 2.40 meters and a maximum draught of 0.29 meters. These proportions deliver a stable and buoyant platform appropriate for up to six passengers in addition to the jet ski rider. Cruising speeds with the platform attached are in the range of 18 to 20 knots, with a top speed of approximately 30 knots using a 170 HP jet ski. The ONE 16 is compatible with Sea-Doo, Yamaha and many other jet ski brands.
One-Minute Connection and Social Design
The engineering of the ONE 16 is built around ease of use. The platform connects to the jet ski in approximately one minute using a plug-and-play coupling system, and it detaches just as quickly, allowing the same machine to serve as both a high-performance personal watercraft and a relaxed social platform depending on the activity.
The bow area features a large table that folds down to create a full sunbathing surface. When the jet ski is removed entirely, the slot that houses its nose transforms into a small pool that opens to the sea, one of the more inventive uses of negative space in recent watercraft design. This dual-use capability makes the ONE 16 unusual in the market: it delivers both adrenaline and relaxation from the same hull.
