WaveFlyer combines the features of both jet skis and hydrofoil boards and boats – that allows users to cut through and rise above the waves – to offer users a smooth and eco-friendly option.

Electric watercraft
Electric watercraft is currently in the prototype phase.

This electric hydrofoil personal watercraft is similar to a conventional jet-taxi when at rest, but rises above the water during operation using an actively stabilized hydrofoil propulsion system.

It is loaded with 2kWh lithium-ion batteries and can fly above the waves for over 30 minutes per trip while carrying two riders. It offers a quieter, more energy-efficient and smoother ride and produces no emissions compared to petrol powered-alternatives.

Well, this eco-friendly watercraft is still in the prototype phases of development. The company hopes the prototype can soon make its way into commercial production.
