Fully-equipped overland rigs will get you past all manners of earthen obstacle to beautiful, rarely-seen patches of terra firma, but any large body of water will stop them dead in their tracks. On the other hand, the water's edge is where the fun gets started for the StabiX 250, an amphibian purpose-built for plunging forward on land-sea adventures and turning unpeopled islands into private base camps. Part boat, part all-terrain terrestrial rover and part camper, the innovative 250 supports adventures like few to no other vessels ever conceived.
