What do cities like London, Paris, Cairo, Rotterdam and Hamburg have in common? They are situated on the banks of a river. The vast majority of cities in the world are connected to large bodies of water. This is not because of the nice views. It is because traditionally water plays a vital role in transportation.

“We have forgotten to make use of water. Especially when it comes to transporting people”, says Anders Bringdal. He is the founder and CEO of the company Seabubbles and a two-time windsurf world champion. Together with his companion Alain Thebault, a professional sailor that invented new sailing boats, he developed the Bubble Taxi, a futuristic water taxi. The Bubble Taxi uses hydro foiling technology to sail and the propulsion of the vessel is electric.
