The invention relates to a watercraft (1), comprising at least one high-temperature superconducting coil (5, 15) and a cooling system for cooling the high-temperature superconducting coil (5, 15) to a cryogenic operating temperature, wherein the cooling system has a first cyrostat tank (10), which surrounds the high-temperature superconducting coil (5, 15) and is designed to hold a liquid phase (11) of a cryogenic coolant; wherein the watercraft (1) also has a load (6), which is designed to convert an operating medium in the form of a fuel and/or in the form of a material promoting combustion; wherein at least one first material component of the operating medium is formed by the cryogenic coolant; and wherein the first cryostat tank (10) is designed to hold a major part of the required total amount of the first material component of the operating medium for the operation of the load (6). The invention further relates to a method for operating a watercraft (1) of this type.
