Abstract
A boat with an inner cabin suspended on a rotating shaft inside an outer shell. The outer shell completely encloses the inner cabin. The inner cabin freely rotates on the shaft inside the outer shell to maintain an upright orientation in any sea condition. Optionally, a motor is provided between the inner cabin and outer shell to dampen rotation of the inner cabin.
