Venice Gondola[edit | edit source]
Bond uses a typical Venetian gondola while in Venice. When attacked by Drax' men however, the gondola (which has obviously been modified by Q branch) shows its modifications, including an outboard engine, and the ability to transform into a hovercraft.
Unidentified Funeral Boat[edit | edit source]
In Venice, Drax' men use this funeral boat to start the attack on Bond.
Custom-built Speedboat[edit | edit source]
This speedboat chases Bond's gondola after the crew of the funeral boat fails to kill him. The same boat (named 'Mia') is still existing today and can be hired for a Bond themed Venice tour. On the booking website they state that this boat was custom-built especially for the movie.
Unidentified Transport Boat[edit | edit source]
This can be seen during the Venice boat chase.
Elvira[edit | edit source]
The enemy speedboat splashes a lot of water into this tourist boat, while avoiding a collision. Although the manufacturer etc. remains unknown, 'Elvira' is still in service in Venice, although she underwent at least one major refurbishment.
Glastron CV23HT[edit | edit source]
Bond receives this weaponized speedboat from Q. It is equipped with a rear bulletproof shield, two racks of mines, a target-seeking torpedo hidden behind the rear light, and also with a paraglider hidden inside the roof, allowing the driver to escape.
Glastron SSV-189[edit | edit source]
Three of these boats are used by Drax' men to chase Bond. Two of them are equipped with forward-firing grenade launchers, the third (with Jaws in it) has no grenade launcher. All three boats end up being destroyed.
