Heart's X1 demonstrator flew for 27 minutes from a regional airport in upstate New York, running on battery power the entire time. The aircraft reached 1,100 feet...
I heard a hovercraft this morning, pretty sure they insure it, certainly has passengers.
Have heard rumours that they are looking to open up another route but I think its only seasonal and very infrequent. Hope it takes off though - pun not intended, but appreciated.
Never heard of a plane that managed to keep going without power and yet those can be insured. Also you can (apparently most do) make hovercraft with a buoyant hull.

Yes, floating is good. Planes have lifting bodies, so they can glide for quite a while without power.
Would love my own hovercraft, but they are pretty expensive. Not sure how I would legally transport it either.
