Navier 30 Electric Hydrofoil - Is This the Future of Boating?

I want to see it in action going through the rough Haulover inlet!

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.

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.

Very cool boat. Very interested to see more about this. Electric gives so many new opportunities where-ever its used.

You go guy. Awesome prototype! Wish you guys all of the best!

Having owned a very early foiling trimaran sailboat, I would love to see the shape of the foils and how they deal with weeds. I used to have to jump overboard to clean weeds off… amazing how far the technology has come.

Awesome video. I can see this being useful in so many applications.

Fascinating! Congrats to the team that did this engineering.

Great concept!

Wow so cool. For so many reasons this is just amazing from how quiet it is to using so much less fuel but for me it's the smoothness of the ride so I don't get seasick. 🤢

Super cool. I like that design

i love it future looks great in my book.

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!

awesome boat!!

Shear pins , brilliant !

Very cool. Works well.

Amazing boat!

For sure if you decrease drag you improve consumption over speed. Depending from the usage payload is another factor to get in mind like foil's wings wideness

Awesome Boat !!!!!!

Thats amazing.
