Fiat turns its 500 into a fleet of BOATS!

Nope, it’s not a late April Fools story - Fiat really has turned its popular 500 supermini into a boat.


You can now rent one of Fiat’s ‘Car 500 Off-Shore’ aquatic vehicles along Italy’s Amalfi coast.

And they don’t just boast two reclining lounges that are ‘ideal for sunbathing’, they’ll also hit speeds of up to 24 mph thanks to power of 115 hp.

Around 500 units have been built by Fiat, with some also available for purchase.


The Italian manufacturer says the 4.7 metres long boat ‘combines the car’s design, advanced technology and functionality to create a unique and safe sailing experience in a form that perfectly epitomises the spirit of La Dolce Vita’.

The ‘500 of the seas’ also features rounded headlights, rear-view mirrors, and half-wheel arches, ‘maintaining the iconic Fiat 500 silhouette’.

The vessel has room for up to five passengers and also comes with a small swimming platform and ladder.


Prices for the marine Fiat 500 start at an eye-opening £96,780. A ‘Vintage Wedding Proposal’ rental package starts at 1,200 Euros (£1,036).

CEO of Car Off-Shore, Dott Antonio Galasso, says: “At first, they thought I was crazy. But now, with 60 units sold and 50 families employed, our Fiat 500 Car Off-Shore Dayboat speaks for itself.I used to own a Fiat 500 cabrio, constantly drawing inspiration from it. Now, as I consider buying a new one, the iconic 500 is always with me, an integral part of my daily life that I can't live without. Fiat isn't just a brand; it's a legacy, inspiring innovation every step of the way."


Speaking of the Fiat 500 Cabrio convertible, you can lease one (with wheels, not a rudder…) with Select Car Leasing from just £153 per month*.

Harvey was very patient with me as I couldn’t make up my mind. He found me a lovely car that suited my needs and gave me value for money. I look forward to my next transaction without the usual trepidation.
