Meet Pegasus, the Electric Hydrofoil Set to Revolutionise Luxury Boating, Combining F1 Styling with Motorbike Handling Skills

The inaugural presentation of the Pegasus, at The Foiling Week in Italy, was met with acclaim from the boating community. The distinctly novel electric hydrofoiling boat was crafted by Finnish company FoilOne and is aimed at redefining the high-end boating experience. The innovative design has already made a splash in the industry, earning the prestigious Foiling Motorboat of the year at the International Foiling Awards. Drawing inspiration from the characteristic charm of 1950’s Formula 1 cars, Pegasus becomes an F1 throwback on water, flaunting a wide grille-style bow and fuselage cockpit which are hard to miss. Yet, it fluidly combines this with a totally different dimension of handling reminiscent of motorbikes. The steering system, crafted in-house, was designed to simplify operation for those unfamiliar with boating, achieving a sense of familiarity with more widely driven motorbikes. The advanced hydrofoil featured on the Pegasus yields lower water resistance, enabling exceptional speeds and increased efficiency. This forward-thinking approach has allowed FoilOne to construct a craft that can journey faster and farther than any conventional electrically powered boat. Made of the lightweight, strong, and pricey material Carbon fibre, Pegasus maintains a minimum weight for efficient foiling, solidifying itself as a gamechanger in the world of luxury boating. An undoubtedly premium product targeting the superyacht market, the Pegasus comes with a hefty price tag, starting from €109,900, exclusive of the boat’s dual 5kWh Torqeedo electric batteries. However, the attention to detail, craftsmanship, and multitude of customisation options justifies the price tag for those seeking unmatched luxury and innovation in marine vessels.
