Universal Hovercraft - This one has wings!
The "Howerwing" looks interesting, a cross between a conventional hovercraft and a WIG. If you had enough land to get up to ground effect speed, it might just be the ticket to getting across the lake on a choppy day. Not much "luggage room" though.

WIG = wing in ground, a "plane" that really doesn't fly normally but relies on the added lift you get when flying low (ground effect).
