A hovercraft, for one. I rode on one across the San Francisco Bay from SF to Oakland. We boarded on the sloping launch "pad"; the air started and pushed it up and it floated on this powerful blast of downward air, lifting the craft up. I guess they had a kind of throttle, and we went forward ONTO the water! It was amazing; I think I remember it as noisy; and was choppy as was the water. We approached the ramp up and sailed right up to the "anchor". We disembarked and I took the helicopter back across! They discontinued it later. Don't know why.
