go to youtube and find 20' ( pontoon hydrofoil) pontoon hydrofoiling 250miles in Atlantic with 75 hp that used 58 gallons of fuel. The future is here. Hydrofoiling. Henry Ford took us from horse and buggy with no mechanics and no fuel stations on each and every corner. Hydrofoils will take us into the "green" future even though they were designed and proven in 1914 by Alexander Graham Bell. This is REAL. Merry Christmas to all!

Depends on wave height I suppose. If over 3 or 4 feet water will make contact with the hull. Not sure what happens then. It would have been a question I would have asked. Also, obviously there is a payload limit, how is performance effected as you get closer to the payload limit? Since the engines provide more power than needed while on the foil maybe a shorter range? The limit is probably based on the engines being able to get up on the foil in the first place.

They do amazingly well in waves that are proportionate to the size/height limit of the foils, bigger boat bigger waves. I see the local foil tour boat go by frequently while I’m fishing in fairly heavy seas and it cuts through without any jarring.

I got to see a live close-up boat like this one while out on the Willamette River in Oregon one day when I was fishing. These types of boats are spooky quiet. The boat that I saw was part of a selected military stealth spy boat competition that was being tested for its overall stealth speed and quietness while running in the water. Most boats put off a wake, which can be heard coming to you, but this thing never even made a wake or noise at all, and if it was not for turning around, we never would have even seen the boat go by us. Because these boats are so quiet and do not make a water wake, they are almost invisible, and a person would almost even know that a boat like this was even by you; it was very creepy to not be able to hear or see a boat make a wake or any waves on the water and yet then spot a boat like this go by you.

Just saw this. I bet it was super interesting to see that thing cruising around 👍

The starting price for the Navier 30 electric hydrofoil is US$375,000. However, the actual price may vary depending on customization options and dealer markup. Navier offers a variety of customization options, including different color schemes, seating configurations, and onboard electronics. Additionally, dealers may add their own markup to the base price. Here is a breakdown of the Navier 30's pricing structure: Base price: US$375,000 Customization options: Varies depending on options chosen Dealer markup: May vary depending on dealer As a result, the final price of a Navier 30 could be anywhere from US$375,000 to US$500,000 or more. Here are some of the factors that can affect the price of a Navier 30: Color scheme: Different color schemes can add a few thousand dollars to the price. Seating configuration: Options for additional seating or a convertible cockpit can increase the price. Onboard electronics: Options for upgraded navigation systems, entertainment systems, or autopilot can add several thousand dollars to the price. Dealer markup: Dealers may add their own markup to the base price to cover their costs and generate profit. If you are considering purchasing a Navier 30, it is important to factor in the cost of customization options and dealer markup. It is also a good idea to get quotes from multiple dealers to compare prices.

Beautiful! As an ex-Aero weenie - and E-foil enthusiast - its great to see such innovation. Just from this video - it seems that forward pilot visibility could be improved and this may be more critical when up and flying at speed among traffic. Also, I would imagine future shapes could be refined to reduce drag on the ship moving thru the air - not an insignificant number I would imagine. Would be nice to see the technology pushed downwards at some point to make it affordable to many recreationalists. Keep up the great work!

I love your casual talking and the way you give us the impression that you take us on a ride with you. It would make it even more relatable if you introduced us to your camera man on the boat at the beginning of the video. As you know, on a boat we are very sensible about what is going on and who is up to what. If you give us the impression that we are with you on a boat, we are of course irritated by someone we don't know and haven't been introduced. Of course we know that it must be a camera guy, but we don't feel as involved in your adventure as we would, if we would have had the chance to say Hello.

Wow! That’s the future!

Great for a pleasure boat. I am not sure if it is a good working boat. Would like to know what sea state it can maintain plane and what the endurance is in plane or hull. Does use of amenities reduce the endurance?

Are the hydrofoils retractable (fully/partially) and still have operational thrust?

The New Zealand Americas cup yacht racing team have designed and built their own version of this as a support boat for their foiling racing yacht. The yacht’s get up to 50 knots so they needed a support boat that could keep up with it without requiring 4 x 350hp petrol engines (previous support boat)

I think it just comes down to foil size at that point. Heavier boats will require larger foils. However larger foils will eventually need more weight to keep them from bending so there is probably a practical max weight.

That's especially true if the design of the boat is to move as many passengers as efficiently as possible. Just my 2 cents and a guess about why they made the design decisions they made.
