Bouveret, Switzerland

By leveraging advanced hydrofoil technology, MobyFly creates zero-emission boats capable of transporting hundreds of passengers comfortably and quietly at speeds over 70km/h without making any waves or causing pollution. Our IP is our patent-pending foil technology, and our proprietary electronic systems — including the fly-by-wire software that allows our boat to “fly.” This technology also enables our boat to be extremely cost effective, using up to 95% less energy than any diesel ferry operating in the world today. MobyFly is more than a boat, it’s an entire platform, designed to provide a complete ecosystem: zero-emission hydrofoil, charging infrastructure, and access to financial solutions.
