Abstract
Nearly two-thirds of the earth's surface is covered by water. Future transportation considerations should include the best utilization of water transportation for commercial and recreational purposes.
Water transportation has evolved from hand carved canoes to modern mega yachts. During the last few decades, many variations on the basic boats have become present in the marketplace. Included are hovercraft, jet-driven craft and hydrofoil oriented watercraft.
