Gimmick is what it's called. Another one to fleece boaters.

Nauti-Craft marine suspension technology. Looks they're marketing it as a boating solution and a crew transfer solution. 4:23 video:

No Sale here. I owned a Chris-Craft Scorpion 31' while in CA. Twin Merc 225's. The coastal waters from Long Beach to Oxnard or Oceanside were our playground. No reasonable water or wind conditions ever felt hazardous or forced return to port [three axle trailer].
Some folks thought $XX amount could have bought a nice used Ferrari or Cobra. Nice, but proper vehicles lean into turns naturally; and hotrods don't float.

I agree with TM51. However the only crafts that I was ever on in deep water were either crew boats, barges or the occasional sailing vessel with up to a 3,500 lb keel.
The way I looked at if you can't stand the motion of the ocean buy yourself a mini van and take the kids to Disney world.

Harbor pilot boards cruise ship in high winds.

I wonder why he doesn't wear a harness - safety line from the ship would be easy to toss, hook it to his harness, then proceed. All the ship's crew are harnessed.

I haven't boarded underway in decades. Not so much a dance from a launch into a like-sized patrol boat.
Seems a harness would be tough to keep tension on getting him on deck of vestibule; or hang him between pitching yawing hulls.
