The super yacht community would definitely be another market for the Martin Jetpack. Conventional helicopters are very expensive to run and with their long blades, only fit on relatively large yachts. The Martin Jetpack would be a much safer alternative. Owners of somewhat smaller super yachts would now also be able to carry a personal, cheaper to run and regular petrol driven airframe on their vessels. I encourage MJP (if possible) to demonstrate their jetpack's capability by flying one of their airframes from the Monaco harbour foreshore onto a deck of one of these super yachts. What a priceless marketing opportunity. Monaco is an independant micro state and King Albert II would probably grant the required permission.

Another market (in my opinion) would be the marine pilot community. No more pilot vessels, no more potentially dangerous (at times 12m) ladder climbing exercises. Simply fly to an inbound ship and park the jetpack onboard, or leave an outbound ship back ashore in the very same manner.
