An aquatic vehicle for transporting passengers at high speeds over water, the vehicle having an elongated body with an enclosed cabin for accommodating passengers, wheels for sustaining the body above water, axles projecting from the body to the wheels, inflated tires with oval cross-sections, partitions extending in the tires radially outward from the axles so as to form hermetically sealed and watertight chambers to maintain floatability even after a portion of the tires becomes damaged, and a turbine for propelling the body on the surface of the water. The wheels are freely rotatable and free of any transmission means from the turbine.
