A watercraft is described for a water-ride facility. The watercraft consists of a floating body 10, which is connected by an articulated connecting unit 20 to the undercarriage 30, in such a way that the position of the floating body 10 can be modified in the longitudinal and transverse directions, relative to the undercarriage, and can be modified with respect to its height, with the result the floating body 10 can execute rocking, swaying, and rolling movements comparable to a freely floating boat, despite being guided by the undercarriage 30. The undercarriage 30 is guided by means of rails 40 that are fixed in position. Outside of the water the floating body 10 can be firmly attached to the undercarriage 30 by means of coupling elements 14 and 34.
A water-ride facility, consisting of at least one watercraft, which exhibits a floating body, as well as of an undercarriage which is connected to the floating body and which serves as a guidance unit, and consisting of a guidance system running in the water for the undercarriage, and a drive for the watercraft,
