James Bond boat for sale

Caribbean Aero Nautical is selling a fully restored 1978 Glastron/Carlson CV23HT boat, the same model as seen in the Bond movie Moonraker.

In the movie Moonraker, Bond is being chased while driving a Glastron / Carlson CV23HT speedboat. Only 300 of these boats were ever built, and 3 of those were specially built for Eon Productions and custom painted in the silver metalflake gelcoat over gray. Only one of these three Bond boats still exists, and that one is currently owned by the Ian Fleming Foundation.

Of the other 297 regular versions of this model, only a few examples are still known to exist, one of which is now for sale by Caribbean Aero Nautical and Invision Boatworks, LLC for the asking price of $45,000 USD.

This vessel is not an exact copy, as the "Bond" gadgets make the boat user unfriendly. Some of the gadgets are available to be constructed as add-ons for an additional price.
