Quadrofoil is an electric hydrofoiling personal watercraft (PWC), which provides economically efficient and environmentally friendly mode of recreational marine transportation. 
Due to hydrofoiling and patented steering technology, riding feels like flying on water and provides an entirely new and thrilling water experience. 

Quadrofoil was showcased at the Dubai Boat show 2016 and was appreciated by all the visitors.
The watercraft operates quietly and doesn’t produce any waves or emissions, which makes it suitable for lakes, rivers, seas as well as marine protected areas, where most motor boats and personal watercrafts are prohibited. 
It has a top speed up to 40 km/h (21 knots) and a range of up to 100 km (54 nautical miles) and can be fully charged in under 2 hours. 


Green Technology & Characteristics 
Quadrofoil is completely environmentally friendly due to electric outboard motor propulsion and special steering system, both custom developed for Quadrofoil. C-foil technology allows the watercraft to fly on water at speeds up to 21 knots cruising speed (40 km/h) and with several times better efficiency than any other personal watercraft on the market. With buoyancy force which lifts the vessel above the surface, Quadrofoil can travel with minimum drag and extremely efficient battery usage. Additionally, operating costs of 1 EUR per hour and low maintenance makes it also the most wallet-friendly PWC.


Safety 
A patented, integrated steering system makes your Quadrofoil experience simple and exciting. The technology also works as a stabilization system and makes the vessel responsive on the water and prevents drifting. 
Quadrofoil is designed to be almost unsinkable due to its airtight top module and foil hydrodynamics that create automatic balancing and stabilization. When airborne at 12 km/h it flies over water and with ergonomic and soft seats premium comfort is achieved. 
Quadrofoil is a high-tech development company with a team of skilled engineers, nautic enthusiast and visionaries, who design and manufacture the world's first fully electric and completely environmentally friendly hydrofoiling personal watercraft.
