Fliteboard Air
Inflatable, Stable, Forgiving — Fliteboard's Entry-Level eFoil Built for Charter Guests and Family Use
The Fliteboard Air is the rigid inflatable eFoil in Fliteboard's Series 6 range. Fliteboard describes its revolutionary inflatable construction as designed for ultimate durability — resilient against chips, dings or dents that would damage a hard-top board, and listed by Fliteboard as a "must-have for trips and boat or dock launches". It is the easiest Fliteboard to learn on, the easiest to stow on a yacht, and the natural choice when crew need to put a first-time guest on the water. The Air is offered in two sizes — the AIR ICON at 5'8″ / 110 L for first-time and recreational riders, and the more compact AIR PRO at 5'2″ / 80 L for intermediates who want more agility from an inflatable.
Both Air boards run the Series 6 Flite Jet 2 propulsion system, the 31.5″ eFoil mast, and the same modular Flitecell battery family used across the rest of the range — the Flitecell Nano (806 Wh, 6.2 kg, up to 45 min), Flitecell Sport (1.6 kWh, 10.6 kg, up to 1.5 h), and Flitecell Explore (2.1 kWh, 14.5 kg, up to 2.5 h). For superyacht and charter programmes that already operate a hard-top Fliteboard PRO Series 6 or ULTRA L3, the Air shares batteries, controllers and chargers, so a yacht can add a beginner-friendly board without buying a parallel battery pool.

Flitecell Battery Options
| Battery | Capacity | Weight | Foil Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flitecell Nano | 806 Wh (16.8 Ah) | 6.2 kg / 13.7 lb | Up to 45 min | Lightest setup, quick guest sessions |
| Flitecell Sport | 1.6 kWh (30 Ah) | 10.6 kg / 23.4 lb | Up to 1.5 hr | Daily-driver pack for Air programmes |
| Flitecell Explore | 2.1 kWh (40 Ah) | 14.5 kg / 32 lb | Up to 2.5 hr | Longest rides, all-day cruising |
All three Flitecells are cross-compatible with the Air, the PRO Series 6 and other Series 6 boards — one battery pool covers the whole eFoil locker.
Inflatable, Forgiving, Easy to Learn
Fliteboard's revolutionary inflatable construction is engineered for ultimate durability — the brand says you can ride without worrying about chips, dings or dents that would scare crews away from letting first-timers onto a carbon board. The AIR ICON's 110 L volume is the most forgiving in the entire Fliteboard range.
Easy Transport & Storage
Fliteboard lists "easy transport & storage" as a headline benefit of the Air, and positions the inflatable construction as a "must-have for trips and boat or dock launches". For yachts where deck-locker space is contested between water toys, dive kit and fenders, that storage profile is what makes the Air the eFoil that actually gets carried.
Series 6 Flite Jet 2 & Shared Batteries
The Air is a Series 6 board, so it pairs with the latest Flite Jet 2 propulsion for smoother, quieter power and runs the same Flitecell Nano, Sport and Explore packs as the PRO Series 6 and ULTRA L3. A yacht with a mixed eFoil locker can share one battery pool across every board.
Why the Fliteboard Air for Your Superyacht?
The Fliteboard Air is the entry-level eFoil for yacht and charter programmes for one simple reason: it is the only Fliteboard that lets a chief stew put a guest who has never foiled before onto the water with a realistic chance of standing up before the battery dies. The AIR ICON's 110 L of volume gives a first-time rider the buoyancy needed to find balance on the wing, and the inflatable rails take the sting out of the inevitable falls onto the deck. By contrast, the carbon Fliteboard PRO Series 6 (5'0″ / 67 L) is a performance board that punishes early-stage mistakes — Fliteboard explicitly positions it for intermediate to advanced riders. If your charter brief is "guests should leave the week saying they tried an eFoil and loved it", the Air is the right board to spec.
Operationally, the Air also addresses a problem that the hard-top Fliteboards do not: storage and transport. Most 30–50 m yachts run their water-toy locker with limited space and a long list of competing kit — SeaBobs, towables, paddleboards, a JetSurf, dive cylinders. The Air's inflatable build is what Fliteboard calls a "must-have for trips and boat or dock launches" precisely because it does not occupy the same fixed footprint as a rigid carbon board. That positioning is especially attractive for yachts that move between cruising grounds and for charter operators who want to keep an Air on standby without dedicating permanent deck or garage space to it.
Mercer Yachting supplies the Fliteboard Air through authorised channels with full Fliteboard warranty. We deliver from our Marsaskala, Malta base to every major Mediterranean yachting hub — Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, Monaco, Genoa, Athens and Split — with worldwide freight to any nominated port or agent. Quote requests can be bundled with a Flitecell Sport or Explore pack matrix, the Flite Controller, the Fliteboard fast charger, and crew induction at handover so the board is in the water on day one of the charter week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reviewed by Ryan Rizzo, Operations Lead · Updated 23 May 2026
Who is the Fliteboard Air best suited for?
Fliteboard positions the Air for beginner to intermediate riders, family use, and guest sharing on charter. The AIR ICON in particular — at 5'8″ and 110 L — is the most forgiving board in the range and the natural choice for first-time foilers. The smaller AIR PRO at 5'2″ / 80 L is for riders who already have some eFoil or board-sports experience and want a more responsive inflatable. Advanced riders chasing freestyle, wave or carving sessions are better served by the carbon Fliteboard PRO Series 6 or ULTRA L3.
Fliteboard Air vs Pro Series 6 — which one should we order?
If your priority is first-time guests, family rides, charter sessions, and a board that stows away when not in use, choose the Fliteboard Air (AIR ICON for absolute beginners, AIR PRO for confident riders). If your priority is a single dedicated rider who already foils, wants freestyle or wave performance, and is comfortable with a short, low-volume carbon board, choose the Pro Series 6. Many superyacht programmes carry both: the Air for guest induction sessions and the Pro for the one rider on board who knows what they are doing.
How does the inflatable construction actually ride?
Fliteboard describes the Air as a "rigid inflatable" with "revolutionary inflatable construction" engineered for ultimate durability. Once inflated, the board rides as a rigid foil platform — not a soft surfboard — while the inflatable build protects against the chips, dings and dents that plague hard-top boards in busy charter use. The brand specifically calls it out as a "must-have for trips and boat or dock launches" for that reason.
How is the Air stored and transported?
Fliteboard lists "easy transport & storage" as a headline benefit of the Air range, in contrast to the hard-top Series 6 boards. That makes the Air the natural choice when locker space on the yacht is at a premium, when a board needs to be moved between cruising grounds during the season, or when the toy programme calls for a board that can come off the yacht for a day on the beach. The Flite Jet 2 motor and Flitecell battery are stored separately from the board, and they are the same hardware as on the hard-top Series 6 range.
Which Flitecell battery should we order, and how many?
For most superyacht programmes running the Air, we recommend at least one Flitecell Sport (1.6 kWh, 10.6 kg, up to 1.5 h) as the daily driver, plus one Flitecell Explore (2.1 kWh, 14.5 kg, up to 2.5 h) for longer cruises. The Flitecell Nano (806 Wh, 6.2 kg, up to 45 min) is useful as a lightweight third pack for short guest sessions where weight matters. All three Flitecells are cross-compatible across the Series 6 range, so a yacht running both an Air and a Pro Series 6 can share the same battery pool rather than stocking two parallel sets.
Is the Air good for charter use?
Yes. The combination of inflatable durability, beginner-friendly volume (especially the AIR ICON), packable storage and shared Series 6 battery compatibility makes the Air the strongest charter-fit eFoil in the Fliteboard range. Crews can let first-time guests ride it without worrying about cosmetic damage to a carbon board, and the Air can be stowed below deck between charter weeks rather than occupying premium garage space.
Can you deliver to Malta and other Mediterranean ports?
Yes. Mercer Yachting is based in Marsaskala, Malta and ships the Fliteboard Air to every major Mediterranean yacht hub — Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, Monaco, Genoa, Athens, and Split — with worldwide air or sea freight to any nominated port or agent. Typical Mediterranean delivery is 5–10 business days once the variant (ICON or PRO), Flitecell pack matrix and wing configuration are confirmed. Rush options are available for charter-season emergencies.
