The 4'9'' Flagship LIFT5 Board — Balanced, Versatile, Charter-Friendly

The Lift 5 Sport is the 4'9'' Sport configuration of Lift Foils' flagship LIFT5 platform — the same "most refined eFoil we've ever built" chassis as the Lift 5 Pro, but on a longer, more voluminous board tuned to balance stability with agility. Where the 4'4'' Pro is sharp and surf-like, the 4'9'' Sport is forgiving on take-off and confident in chop — the configuration Lift Foils points riders toward when they want genuine flagship feel across a wider range of guests and conditions.

Under the extra volume sits the identical flagship component set: the 32'' LCS Carbon 68 propulsion mast, 210 Camber Pro LCS front wing, 36 Glide back wing, Gen5 Full Range Battery delivering up to 90 minutes of full-throttle riding, and the Elite Hand Controller. For superyachts running mixed-ability charter programmes — or owners who want one hero eFoil aboard that every guest can ride — the Sport is the default LIFT5 specification. Mercer Yachting supplies complete Lift 5 Sport packages to yachts across the Mediterranean, with crew briefing and handover included at delivery.

Stability Advantage on Take-Off

At 4'9'' the Sport carries more volume and more surface area than the 4'4'' Pro, which makes the critical pre-flight phase — knee-up, stand-up, pump-to-lift — measurably easier. That is where most eFoil learning fails; the Sport's board shape is what lets a wider range of guests actually get up and flying rather than swimming back to the platform.

Same Flagship Platform as the Pro

The Sport is not a step-down product — it sits on the identical LIFT5 component ecosystem as the Pro: 32'' LCS Carbon 68 mast, 210 Camber Pro LCS front wing, 36 Glide back wing, Gen5 Full Range Battery, Elite Hand Controller. Same whisper-quiet flight, same wireless drop-in battery, same LCS upgrade path. The only trade is board size for ride character.

Charter-Friendly by Design

For crewed charter programmes the Sport is typically the right default: it forgives the intermediate rider, holds composure in Mediterranean chop, and lets instructors bring a wider guest list onto the foil during the same week. Yachts that want the flagship LIFT5 ride but cannot guarantee advanced guests every charter choose Sport over Pro for exactly this reason.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's different about the Lift 5 Sport vs the Lift 5 Pro?

Both sit on the same flagship LIFT5 platform and share the 32'' LCS Carbon 68 mast, 210 Camber Pro LCS front wing, 36 Glide back wing, Gen5 Full Range Battery and Elite Hand Controller. The difference is the board: the Sport is a 4'9'' board tuned for balance between stability and agility — more forgiving for progression — while the Pro is a 4'4'' board built for precision, tight carving and a surf-like feel. Sport suits a wider range of guests; Pro rewards experienced riders.

What is the LIFT5 platform and why does it matter?

LIFT5 is Lift Foils' current-generation flagship platform — positioned by the manufacturer as "the most refined eFoil we've ever built." Every LIFT5 board (Sport, Pro, Cruiser) uses the same core ecosystem: LCS (Lift Connect System) for wings and components, the Gen5 Full Range wireless drop-in battery, and the whisper-quiet LCS Carbon 68 propulsion mast. Choosing any LIFT5 board gives you the same underlying ride character; the board size is what tunes it to your guest profile.

What wings come with the Lift 5 Sport?

The Sport ships with the 210 Camber Pro LCS front wing and the 36 Glide back wing — the same supplied specification as the Pro. Both attach via Lift's LCS (Lift Connect System), which means you can add further wings from the Lift range to the quiver later without changing hardware. A larger surf-style wing or a smaller high-speed wing can be added season to season as your guest profile evolves.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

The Gen5 Full Range Battery delivers up to 90 minutes of full-throttle riding, according to Lift Foils, with real-world range varying by rider weight, wing choice and conditions. The pack is a wireless drop-in design — it seats into the board without exposed cables, reducing saltwater ingress risk. Charging is handled from standard shore or yacht AC power; we walk crew through charge logistics and stowage at handover.

Can I ride the Lift 5 Sport in Malta?

Yes. Mercer Yachting, based in Marsaskala, supplies and delivers the Lift 5 Sport across Maltese waters — including from the main superyacht berths at Grand Harbour Marina, Portomaso, and Malta Freeport anchorages. We can handover on board or at a pre-agreed location and brief crew on local ride zones and restrictions.

Is there a manufacturer warranty?

Every Lift 5 Sport supplied by Mercer Yachting arrives with full Lift Foils manufacturer warranty documentation. Warranty periods and coverage vary by component (board, battery, electronics) and are subject to Lift Foils' published terms at time of delivery — we confirm the current terms in writing with every quotation.

How steep is the learning curve on the Sport vs the Pro?

The 4'9'' Sport is the board Lift Foils positions for riders who want genuine flagship feel with more forgiving take-offs and more stable low-speed handling. In practice that means the pre-flight phase (knee-up, stand-up, pump-to-lift) is measurably easier than on the 4'4'' Pro, and once airborne the Sport holds composure through chop. The Pro is the sharper ride — rewarding for experienced riders, harder for beginners. For charter programmes where guest ability varies weekly, the Sport is typically the right default.

Can I pair a Lift 5 Sport with a Lift 5 Pro aboard the same yacht?

Yes — and for yachts that can carry both, it is the single best LIFT5 configuration. Because Sport and Pro share the same Gen5 Full Range Battery, LCS wings and Elite Hand Controller, one yacht can run a two-board setup where progression guests ride the 4'9'' Sport and experienced guests ride the 4'4'' Pro, cycling batteries and wings between them. That is the programme Mercer Yachting supplies to most flagship-spec superyachts.
