Meet Pegasus: The High-tech Electric Foiler Taking Yacht Toys to Dizzying 30-knot Speeds

Superyacht toys have been taken to a new level with the innovation of Pegasus, an all-electric foiling craft that combines the thrill of high-performance sailing with the intuitive handling of a bicycle. Developed by Finnish start-up Foil.One, this impressive single-seater is constructed entirely of carbon fibre, capable of reaching incredible speeds up to 30 knots while gliding effortlessly above the water.

The secret behind its user-friendly design lies in a unique foiling set-up, integrating steering, balance, and ride height into one intuitive mechanism. Imagine handles like those on a bicycle - or, indeed, a rowing eight - and you’ve got the idea. This design makes steering as easy as biking, with balance quickly mastered.

But that’s not all. The Pegasus is powered by a modest yet potent 10kW electric motor linked to a slender propeller-running shaft, promising silent propulsion through the water. The craft includes two 5kWh Torqeedo batteries, promising up to an hour of full-throttle fun.

In short, Pegasus redefines the realm of yacht toys, offering limitless fun punctuated with adrenaline-pumping speed. With just a few lessons, anyone can reach their ’need for speed’ in a safe and exhilarating manner. So, grab your life jacket and hitch a ride on Pegasus’ wings!
