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.

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.

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

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

Fascinating! Congrats to the team that did this engineering.

This would be a top-level tender for a big yacht.

This would be a great replacement for my wakesurfing boat.

As a private pilot, hydrofoil enthusiast, and model aircraft designer with a few boat engineering books on the shelf... I find this boat fascinating. Love the ingenuity, naturally Hydrofoils are going to be the way forward especially with electric propulsion, do to low energy density.

Shear pins , brilliant !

Super cool. I like that design

Great concept!

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

An excellent game changer and invention by Indian Engineer Sampreet Bhattacharya. All the best to her team

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!

i love it future looks great in my book.

I want one..😮love it

Thank you ❤️

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. 🤢

Amazing boat!

Wow! That’s the future!

Extremely cool.

Genius! I bet it really helps with seasickness too.

Now it’s time we test this on 12 foot seas with seagrass all around, and let’s see what she can do!!

Thats amazing.

The New Zealand Americas cup yacht racing team have designed and built their own version of this as a support boat for their foiling racing yacht. The yacht’s get up to 50 knots so they needed a support boat that could keep up with it without requiring 4 x 350hp petrol engines (previous support boat)

Amazing, the future is bright

I love your casual talking and the way you give us the impression that you take us on a ride with you. It would make it even more relatable if you introduced us to your camera man on the boat at the beginning of the video. As you know, on a boat we are very sensible about what is going on and who is up to what. If you give us the impression that we are with you on a boat, we are of course irritated by someone we don't know and haven't been introduced. Of course we know that it must be a camera guy, but we don't feel as involved in your adventure as we would, if we would have had the chance to say Hello.

awesome boat!!

Thats a nice boat. Would luv a cabin

As long as the foils arms height exceeds the height of the waves in the inlet.... It's surreal to watch in motion. Not a bump!!!

Saw this boat and the company on another RU-vid Channel. Company founded by an Indian woman that went to MIT for a Phd. Who would have thought the next gen boat would come from her ingenuity! Amazing.

The Navier really Stokes my enthusiasm for electric boats 😏

Awesome Boat !!!!!!

Awesome I want one👍

This is definitely the future 🎉

They need these as tour boats all over the world.

Cool hydrofoil boat! Hydrofoils behave with the same principles as an “air”plane wing, but they are designed to be run in water “hydro”. If the technology proves reliable, this would be a game changer.

fantastic! 👌

This is very cool. Get some active noise cancellation for that whine and it would be perfect

This boat made me nostalgic. As a child, when I lived in Russia in the 80s, we often traveled on such hydrofoil ships. Of course they were outdated models from the 60s of the 20th century.

Looks like hydrofoil and electric truly are the future.

It looks very similar to the Swedish Candela boats that you already can buy…

Really cool! I wonder why not do this with a catamaran hull for the sake of additional lift/efficiency? Maybe it's a packaging issue or the speeds aren't high enough (yet?) to make enough of a difference?

awesome boat, only one question, how strong are the foils? I mean we do have some sea life(seattle area).

Such a cool innovation! Can't wait to fly aboard one of these! Editor: Your audio is SO bad.. you need to give everyone a mic, or no one.

Great for a pleasure boat. I am not sure if it is a good working boat. Would like to know what sea state it can maintain plane and what the endurance is in plane or hull. Does use of amenities reduce the endurance?

Thats the future 👏🏻👌🏻✅

It is the future! Hopefully the noise will go down as it gets better

Absolutely love it, definitely needs a range extender engine atm though 🤟

Glad to see innovation. Even if it is nothing new

Jaw-droppingly good.....I wonder if we'll ever see that come into the yachting / leisure market? I suppose the weight of the boat is crucial in enabling it to fly?

Definitely has military applications. So cool need ine

Brilliant. Props to Navier. Keep going team

Are the hydrofoils retractable (fully/partially) and still have operational thrust?

The first commercial hydrofoil I ever saw at the London show was in 1978, powered by Archaemedies Penta….

This is nice 😎👍

real classy.

Well, I want one. Fun af

Congratulations Gentlemen 🎉 do you plan to manufacture smaller model to Hal price of it?

I remember seeing the same about 15 years ago 🤣

This looks great for short people

What happens when you hit a wave that is high enough to contact the hull? I imagine it would be quiet the impact if you were moving at speed.

I own and ride a 1974 Dynafoil 440 watercraft and operate the website for them. It's a lot of fun to be above the water.

Curious why pricing was not mentioned :) And regardless.... I would love to have one!

What would happen if it struck a submerged log or whale, etc.? Any contingency like fold back hinge on the foils?

I can just imagine these guys being out there running out of juice and leaning over the bow asking flipper for a charge or a jump😂😂😂😂

The future is here! The only other thing I would change is the exterior optic. In my opinion it should be more sexy, more curves. Remember the first EV’s they looked ugly, now most of them look, modern. Some “Italian design” would help, especially since this boat will for sure be expensive.

I'd like to see this exit and re-enter Haulover in Florida. (Next to the nude beach.)

Very cool I'm getting one. Right after winning the lottery.

Fantastic, but I want solar panels everywhere...... Every bit helps.

Aileron. There is no second i. Ayyyy ler on. Looks great.

About damn time ...... now we need boats with suspension

I want one😊

So cool, looks like great fit and finish too. Navier and Candela are doing some great things

That's really really cool!! It harkens back to Boeing's days of making various hydrofoils. I would LOVE to own one of these but sadly those days are gone. Very damn cool boat!

Imagine the weight of this boat, this maybe the future but not the near future by far.

Ahoy from Ballena!

This is so cool. Once we have the battery technology to make the range 300 miles plus easily im done with gas boats 😊

Wow.

i live in ft myers.. when we go out past sanibel for example, there are crab pots everywhere and other things in the water even sea turtles, how dangerous are underwater object to the hydrofoils?

I can't make myself call it an airplane. Just a really cool boat.

I would add solar panels. Extend the range drastically

Rich passage ferries (designed by teknicraft and built by All American Marine) are foil assisted and actually speed up to reduce wake.

The Navy had some hydrofoil ships and they were fast and steady. They were literally airplanes, with cockpit and DC10 engine to match, that were able to chase down any drug boats down in the Gulf of Mexico. Battery power or not, hydrofoil boats are awesome

How would it handle the ocean?

Amazing😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

When you add 3 inch hieght, your fuel consumption will go down noticeably. Then again, with CATL battery advances, you can afford to lose some. Amazing!

It’s a hydroplane😮. If these boats take off, it will be motivation to clean up all the trash in our waters. I guess seaweed might be an issue that we’ll need working out too.

Its nice, but where i live in New England there to many lobster pot buoys...once in a while u might miss one and hear it roll under your hull. What would happen if one of the wings hit one head on?

Although it soooo much quieter than a gas motor, that high pitch would bother me because I'm overly sensitive to some noises. But I'm sure that you could find some piece of music that could easily make it a non issue. Maybe something like "The Ride of the Valkyries"

Great! But why not make the front of the boat and windshield more aerodynamic?

👍 * Can you bump to the ground little bit or is it the biggest risk? Are hydrofoils easy to replace and expensive if yes if that happens ? * What if you catch fishermen lines ? * What is the maximum waves height/chopiness you can use this or is it flat lake water mostly?

Would be cool on a smaller scale for water skiing

Wow. Fantastic engineering

WOW

How many days would it take a few thousand watts of PV panels on the roof to fully charge?

Best have a really long extension cord.

what a time to be alive 👍🏾
