SEABOB F9S Underwater Scooter — Overview
The SEABOB F9S Underwater Scooter is the top-of-the-line model in the new Seabob generation — a fully reimagined high-end diving scooter co-designed with Studio F. A. Porsche. Built around a 3.6 kW motor with 84 TP thrust and a 1.2 kWh battery as standard, it delivers up to 50 minutes of runtime and a redefined ride feel.
The F9S is the first SEABOB to integrate the Driving Stability System — extractable stern stabilizers and two foils on the lower body — for noticeably more dynamics, smoother cornering and better maneuverability above and below the surface. Premium materials such as titanium, magnesium and specialised ceramic coatings make the scooter durable, lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
More power, longer dives, a new form of freedom. Pure goose bumps.

Who is the High-End F9S Diving Scooter for?
The SEABOB F9S is the high-end diving scooter for riders who want the maximum: more thrust, more runtime, more dynamic handling than the F9 — and a Porsche-designed package built around the Driving Stability System. It is the right choice for confident swimmers and divers with strong water-feel, who value refined cornering above and below the surface and appreciate premium materials and customization.
Typical use cases: superyacht toy box, dive resort and charter fleet, performance recreational diving, and private owners who want the strongest electric diving scooter on the market with a tailored color and equipment spec.
FAQ — Diving Depth, Battery Range & Customization
How deep can the SEABOB F9S dive?
The electronic control system can be set to a maximum water depth of 30 m. The built-in depth sensor has a default safety cut-off at 3.0 m for surface use, which can be unlocked for deeper diving by the operator.
How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?
The F9S runs up to 50 minutes with a sporty driving style on its standard 1.2 kWh battery. The standard charger needs approximately 6 hours; the optional quick charger reduces this to roughly 1.5 hours.
What is the difference between the SEABOB F9 and the F9S?
The F9S delivers more motor power (3.6 vs. 2.6 kW), higher thrust (84 vs. 60 TP) and includes the Driving Stability System as standard. The F9 is the lighter, more recreational model; the F9S is the high-end performance version with refined dynamics and standard maximum battery capacity.
What is the Driving Stability System and why does it matter?
The Driving Stability System combines two extractable stern stabilizers (left and right) with two foils on the lower body of the scooter. It noticeably improves cornering precision, straight-line stability and overall handling — both at the surface and during deeper rides.
Is the F9S suitable for beginners or only for experienced riders?
The F9S can be operated by beginners thanks to the stepless thumb accelerator and selectable diving/normal/sport modes, but its top-end performance, weight and lower buoyancy reward experienced riders. Beginners often start more comfortably on the F9 before stepping up.
Can I customize the color and finish of my SEABOB F9S?
Yes — you can choose from a curated luxury color palette, request a dedicated finish for the center console, or specify a fully bespoke color scheme. For custom designs, please contact us before ordering so we can confirm feasibility, lead times and pricing.
Can I use the F9S in salt water and how do I maintain it?
Yes — the F9S is built for use in both fresh and salt water. Premium materials such as titanium, magnesium and specialised ceramic coatings protect against corrosion. After every salt-water session, rinse the scooter with fresh water, dry it, and store it dry. Battery and electronics follow the maintenance schedule in the manual.
What is included in the standard F9S delivery?
Standard delivery includes the SEABOB F9S with 1.2 kWh battery and Driving Stability System, the standard charger, the Pilot belt system mount and the user manual. Quick charger, powerful headlights and custom colors are optional add-ons.
Do I need a license or training to operate the SEABOB F9S?
No general license is required for recreational use in most jurisdictions, but local regulations (marine protected areas, harbours, dive sites) can apply. We strongly recommend a short briefing before first use — especially regarding diving mode, depth limit settings and the Driving Stability System.
What do the normal, diving and sport driving modes do?
The F9S has three modes selected by sensor switch. Normal mode offers balanced surface performance for everyday rides. Diving mode provides a more sensitive acceleration curve for smooth underwater exploration. Sport mode unlocks maximum motor power for the most exhilarating top-end ride above the water.
