A buoyancy vehicle operable to navigate on a fluid from a sitting and reclined position. The vehicle provides facilitated access and operational control to propulsion and navigational systems that can be operated from a sitting or reclined position. Consequently, a user who cannot stand or perform rigorous physical activity may operate the buoyancy vehicle. The buoyancy vehicle comprises at least one buoyant member configured to float on the fluid with sufficient buoyancy to support the vehicle and the operator. A frame portion attaches to the buoyant member. The frame portion is generally tubular and sufficiently lightweight and/or hollow, so as to enhance the buoyancy of the vehicle. A center board retractably extends from a bottom surface of the frame portion. A seat is configured to support an operator and/or a load, and enable easy access to the navigational and propulsion systems for operating the vehicle.
