The Nautica Guppy Seascooter is a compact, single-speed water-propulsion device designed for family recreation in a pool or calm water close to shore. Intended for operators age 5 or older, it weighs only 3.5 lb / 1.6 kg with its integrated battery, making it the lightest handheld model in Nautica’s current Recreational Series.
The Guppy reaches speeds up to 1.2 mph / 1.9 km/h and provides up to 30 minutes of normal use or up to 20 minutes of continuous operation. Its integrated 7.3V 2.6Ah lithium-ion battery recharges through the unit’s charging port in approximately 2–3 hours. LED indicators show charging and operating status.
Both triggers must be pressed to operate the motor. Releasing either trigger stops the propeller, while a protective grille limits direct access to the rotor. The Guppy has no published depth rating and no camera mount. It should be selected for supervised pool swimming or calm-water recreation—not deep diving, open-sea use or strong currents. Children must remain within their own depth, wear an approved PFD and stay under responsible adult supervision.
Compact 3.5-Pound Design
The Guppy weighs 3.5 lb / 1.6 kg with its battery, giving it a substantially smaller land weight than other handheld models in the Recreational Series. Its compact dimensions and molded handles support two-handed operation in supervised pool or calm-water conditions.
Two-Trigger Automatic Stop
Both triggers must be pressed to run the motor. Releasing either trigger stops the propeller. This control arrangement helps prevent the seascooter from continuing to operate after the user releases one hand, but it does not replace adult supervision or the required PFD.
Protected Propeller Area
A protective grille covers the Guppy’s rotor area and helps prevent larger objects from entering the propeller assembly. Users must still keep fingers, long hair, loose clothing and equipment away from the grille and propulsion area.
Up to 30 Minutes of Normal Use
The integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 30 minutes of normal use or up to 20 minutes of continuous operation. A full recharge takes approximately 2–3 hours using the supplied charger and the Guppy’s integrated charging port.
Designed for Pool and Calm-Water Recreation
The Guppy is intended for operators age 5 or older in a pool or calm water close to shore. Children must remain within their own depth under adult supervision and wear an approved PFD. The Guppy has no published depth rating.
The Guppy package includes the primary equipment required to charge and operate the unit after the manual has been read.
The battery is built into the Guppy and is not supplied as a separate customer-installable item. The official package list does not include a camera, camera mount, carry bag, spare battery, O-ring, silicone grease, ballast weights or fins.
An approved PFD is required during use but is not listed as an included component.
The Guppy has no customer-accessible O-ring listed in the package contents. Do not open the sealed unit. The Guppy should float, but water type, current, temperature and other conditions may change its buoyancy and cause it to sink. Never intentionally release or leave it in the water.
The integrated battery is rated at 7.3V and 2.6Ah:
7.3V × 2.6Ah = approximately 18.98Wh
FAA guidance generally prefers lithium-powered devices in carry-on baggage. If accepted in checked baggage, the device must be fully powered off and protected against damage and accidental activation. Airline acceptance of the complete seascooter must be confirmed before travel. The Guppy is not “airline approved.” Review current FAA lithium-device guidance and the operating airline’s policy.
The Nautica Guppy Seascooter is designed for families seeking a lightweight, single-speed pool seascooter for an operator age 5 or older. Its 3.5-pound design, two-handed controls and up-to-1.2-mph speed make it appropriate for controlled pool recreation or calm water close to shore when the manual’s supervision and PFD requirements are followed.
The most important buying distinction is that the Guppy is not rated for depth use. Although it can be held beneath the surface while swimming, it should not be purchased as a deep-diving, scuba or open-water propulsion vehicle. A child must remain within their own depth and under responsible adult supervision. The user must also wear an approved PFD.
Its integrated 7.3V 2.6Ah lithium-ion battery supports up to 30 minutes of normal use and recharges in approximately 2–3 hours. Because the battery is built into the sealed unit, customers should not expect a quick-swap battery system or attempt to open the Guppy for battery replacement. The model also has no camera mount.
Choose this Nautica Recreational Series pool seascooter when compact weight, age 5+ guidance and simple supervised operation are the priority. Consider the Marlin when the operator is age 8+ and a published 10-foot product depth rating and longer runtime are required.

The Nautica Guppy (NAE23001) has been fantastic for family water fun. Cruising at speeds up to 1.2 mph is safe and manageable for young swimmers, and the ultra-lightweight 3.5 lb frame makes it effortless for them to carry.
Pulls smoothly in calm water down to its 10-foot depth limit. Rated 4.5 stars because you need to be very diligent about wiping away sand and applying silicone grease to the rubber O-ring seal to ensure a watertight fit.
The dual-trigger control mechanism works great to prevent accidental starts, and positive buoyancy ensures the Guppy floats right back to the surface if dropped. Quick shipping and great service from Mariners Warehouse.
We get right around 30 to 40 minutes of total run time per charge out of the Guppy battery. The protective safety grilles around the propeller give great peace of mind when kids are using it.
Arrived well-packaged with the charger and seal lubricant included. Intuitive operation makes it completely effortless for beginners to glide around shallow water without tiring out.
