Maryland-based Ocean Craft Marine makes four-by-four amphibious boats that can also operate on land.
The watercraft body is equipped with four independent motorized wheels that make the four-by-four water and land capable. This flexibility allows the vehicle and its occupants to access otherwise difficult locations and terrains, such as remote waterfronts, high tides, and shallow waters, according to its makers.
The Ocean Craft Marine 4x4 Amphibious Crafts, or OCM AMPs for short, are all custom and handmade. The vehicle-boats come in four standard sizes, but for those who want a smaller or larger build, Ocean Craft Marine can upgrade any of its boat models of varying sizes to include the amphibious option.
Several components of the OCM AMP are also specifically customizable, including the color, seating placement, and onboard accessories. For example, its makers can add a camping tent and barbecue to the boat to allow its occupants to camp overnight on land without having to leave the boat.
All of Ocean Craft Marine's amphibious boats are powered by its BAS 80-4 system, which gives the four-wheel-drive vehicle 35 horsepower and the ability to achieve 5.6 miles-per-hour, both on land, according to its maker. The system also gives the vehicle-boats 2,582 foot-pounds of torque.
