glass bottom boat

See-through touring craft

A glass bottom boat is a watercraft with transparent panels in its hull, allowing passengers to view underwater scenery—coral reefs, fish, shipwrecks—without getting wet.

Popular for marine tourism in clear tropical waters: We took a glass bottom boat tour over the reef.

The design dates to the late 19th century.
