speedboat

Quick water craft

A speedboat is a small motorboat designed for high-speed travel across water.

The hull is typically shaped to plane across the surface rather than push through it.

Speedboats serve for recreation, racing, or water sports like waterskiing: They rented a speedboat for the afternoon.
