Let’s Fly ( just above the water )

Wow ! A must-do experience that combines electric technology and 21st Century boat design. Exceptional knowledge of the craft by the skipper and co pilot. Safety briefing before departure, take your seats and enjoy ! NZ boat building and innovation . A very unique window into the future of water travel.

Great Experience

We had the most amazing time on the hydrofoil boat experience yesterday! The capability of the boat was truly incredible to experience, smooth, powerful, and unlike anything we’ve done before. What really made the trip though were the two crew members. They were genuinely lovely, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease the entire time. A unique, memorable adventure that we’d highly recommend to anyone, we’re still talking about it!

🌊✨ Hydrofoil Experience

Absolutely flawless blend of adventure, innovation, and comfort from start to finish! The hydrofoil felt more like flying than boating—fast, smooth, and truly unique. Every detail was immaculate, right down to the sparkling clean windows, which made the views even more breathtaking. The ingenious, environmentally friendly design shows real thought and care, and the crew were incredibly professional, super cool, genuinely expert, yet warm and real. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
