ABSTRACT:
A floatable aquatic vehicle for receiving and suspending an individual in a seated, floating configuration in water. The vehicle includes a support frame having an egg-like configuration. The egg-like configuration of the frame is a continuously arcuate enclosure having a large radius of curvature at a first side and a smaller radius of curvature at an opposing second side, the first and second sides being joined together. The vehicle also includes a flexible cover for encasing a buoyant float and a central opening for receiving the individual. The frame is coupled to the flexible cover so that the frame supports the cover at the opening.
