Electric Hydrofoil Technology for Superyachts
E-foils are electric-powered hydrofoil boards that combine advanced battery technology with hydrodynamic lift systems to deliver a silent, weightless water sports experience. Users stand on the board while holding a handheld remote control that manages acceleration and deceleration, making them accessible to riders of all skill levels from day one.
Superyacht owners and charter captains choose e-foils for guest entertainment because they deliver unmatched excitement while maintaining minimal environmental impact and virtually no noise pollution. These boards are compact enough to store in tender garages, powerful enough to handle varied water conditions, and sophisticated enough to impress the most discerning guests. Leading brands like Fliteboard, Lift, and Awake dominate the luxury segment with models ranging from entry-level cruising boards to professional-grade performance machines.
Common superyacht scenarios include guests enjoying afternoon entertainment in an anchorage, crew team-building activities, or personal water sports adventures for owners seeking a thrilling yet eco-conscious experience. Typical deployments involve 2-4 boards with rotating battery packs to ensure continuous availability throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast do eFoils go?
Most modern eFoils can reach speeds between 25-40 mph (40-65 km/h), depending on the model and rider skill level. Entry-level boards like the Lift 5 Sport offer smooth acceleration up to 25 mph, while professional models like the Fliteboard Pro can achieve 35+ mph. Speed is easily controlled via a handheld remote, allowing for safe, progressive acceleration.
Can beginners ride eFoils?
Absolutely! Modern eFoils are designed with beginner-friendly features. Models like the Awake Vinga Adventure and Lift 5 Sport feature intuitive controls, stable platforms, and progressive power delivery that make them perfect for first-time riders. Most people can achieve basic flight within their first session, though developing advanced skills takes practice and training.
How long does the battery last?
Battery life typically ranges from 60-120 minutes of continuous riding, depending on the model, riding style, and water conditions. Premium models like the Fliteboard Ultra L3 offer extended range exceeding 100 minutes, while entry-level boards provide 60-90 minutes. Most chargers deliver a full charge in 1-2 hours. For yacht use, having multiple battery packs allows uninterrupted entertainment throughout the day.
Do eFoils fit in standard tender garages?
Yes, most e-foils are compact and designed for yacht storage. Most boards are 24-27 inches long and weigh 6-8 kg, fitting easily in tender garages or dedicated watersports storage areas. Soft carry cases and protective bags are available. During the specification process, we verify your available storage space to ensure a perfect fit for your yacht's layout.
What power supply is required for charging?
E-foil batteries charge via standard 240V single-phase or 380V three-phase power. Most superyachts have both available. A full charge takes 1-2 hours depending on battery capacity. Rapid chargers can reduce charging time significantly. During the sales process, we verify your yacht's electrical infrastructure and recommend the most suitable charging solution for your power system.
Is training available for crew?
Absolutely. Mercer Yachting offers comprehensive e-foil crew training packages including safety protocols, operational procedures, maintenance schedules, and hands-on riding instruction. Training can be conducted dockside or in protected anchorages. We also provide printed manuals and online resources for ongoing reference.
What warranty coverage is included?
Manufacturer warranties typically cover 2 years on the board structure, 1 year on the battery system, and 1 year on electronics. Extended warranty and insurance options are available. We coordinate all warranty claims and can arrange rapid replacement of defective units. Most commercial marine insurance policies cover e-foils as yacht toys.
