glass-bottom boat

See-through watercraft floor

A glass-bottom boat is a watercraft with a transparent panel in its hull, allowing passengers to view underwater life without getting wet.

Common at coral reefs and coastal tourist destinations: We took a glass-bottom boat tour over the reef.

The design offers a middle ground between staying dry on deck and snorkeling below.
