Technologies

A New Way to Move on the Water. A Truly Unique Experience.

High Efficiency Hydrofoil

Hydrofoil technology stands as the optimal solution for reducing drag and increasing efficiency on the water. By lifting the hull above the surface, hydrofoils significantly decrease water resistance, enabling the Zephynaut to glide effortlessly and at higher speeds. This innovation not only enhances performance but also contributes to a smoother ride, redefining efficiency in marine travel.

Fully Electric
Powered

We have developed a high-performance Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, Custom lithium-ion batteries with a BMS, motor control systems, and precision mechanical transmission mechanisms. Furthermore, we are pioneering the application of hydrogen fuel cell technology in leisure boating, as it will bring a substantial increase in range.

Advanced
System Integrations

Our automated ship control system simplifies operations and enhances safety. With LIDAR, GPS positioning, and advanced image recognition technology, our boat autonomously gathers environmental data, enabling automatic piloting and providing real-time navigational advice.

Sustainable
Composite Material

The Zephynaut's hull is crafted from high-modulus carbon fiber composite materials, similar to those used in America's Cup racing sailboats. The hydrofoils are manufactured using advanced carbon fiber thermoforming process, and the surface treatment uses high corrosion resistance and environmentally friendly materials

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does a Hydrofoil Boat Differ from Traditional Boats?

Hydrofoil boats utilize wing-like structures under the water to generate lift, similar to an airplane's wings, allowing for reduced drag and increased efficiency. The Zephynaut features large, prominent "wings" that lift it entirely above the surface, providing a flying-on-water sensation with superior performance and stability.

Is it Safe to Operate a Hydrofoil Boat?

Thanks to the hydrofoil lifting the Zephynaut above the water surface, it boasts enhanced wave resistance. Imagine waves just sweeping under the hull, offering a stable and secure experience even in rough seas.

What is the battery life of Zephynaut?

Battery life varies based on usage frequency, charging practices, and environmental conditions, typically offering up to 4000 charge cycles. To extend battery life, follow the manual's charging and storage recommendations and avoid using the boat in extreme temperatures.

How do you deliver the boat?

Our hydrofoil boats are delivered through professional logistics partners to ensure they arrive in pristine condition. We'll coordinate with you on delivery details, including date, time, and location, to provide a secure and efficient service.

What Kind of Maintenance Does a Hydrofoil Boat Require?

Maintenance is straightforward: keep it clean and charged. Additionally, after each use, it's recommended to lift or fold the hydrofoils above the water to minimize corrosion from seawater and marine life.

Can Hydrofoil Boats Be Used in Shallow Waters?

The Zephynaut's hydrofoils and propulsion are placed about 50cm below the hull, making it unsuitable for very shallow waters to avoid damage. However, the hydrofoils can be removed or lifted for such conditions.

How Does Weather Affect Hydrofoil Boat Performance?

Weather, wind, and waves can affect comfort and performance. Zephynaut is still in development; final operating limits and guidance will be confirmed in the product documentation.

What Training is Required to Operate a Hydrofoil Boat?

Operating a hydrofoil boat is similar to conventional boats, with additional attention to flight alerts. The product manual includes detailed instructions and tips to help you quickly get accustomed to the Zephynaut for a pleasant experience.

Can I customize my boat?

Zephynaut is designed with upgradability and customizability in mind. However customization options are available within safety regulations, and we're planning to offer more personalized options in the near future.
