Foiler yacht worth £870k glides across water on SKIS – so it looks like it’s flying
The yacht is also quieter and more fuel efficient than the average yacht as its skis cut out interference from the waves
IF you fancy making like James Bond then this might be the yacht for you.
The £870,000 Foiler yacht is on skis – and glides across choppy water as if it was flying.
The body of the yacht stays 1.5 metres above the surface of the water while it flies through the water on its carbon fibre hydrofoil skis.
The boat can go at over 40 miles per hour as there’s less drag and impact on the waves.
The vessel is powered by two 320 horse power BMW engines, two electric generators and two electric torpedoes.
As well as being able to travel at blistering speeds, the yacht is also very quiet.
The Foiler is also environmentally friendly, using around 20 percent less fuel than a regular yacht.
The yacht was built by UAE-based firm ENATA and can fit seven passengers and one driver.
It’s the perfect solution for those with a bit of cash to burn – who don’t like the choppiness of waves.
Alios Vieujot, manager of ENATA said: "The idea was to use the same tech as sailboats for the foils, so it would be easy to use and comfortable.
"The boat is ideal for anyone that wishes to use it as a tender, or as a pleasure yacht to use on the weekend.
"A lot of our clients will be people who don’t want the discomfort of sailing and don’t want to get sea sick or listen to deafening noise.
"Once you try this, you really can’t go back.
"On top of that, it’s [very] quiet and you won’t even notice it pass by.
