Flymar began developing the FLYMAR F9 unmanned electric passenger hydrofoil boat in 2025. Construction of the first vessel is scheduled to begin in 2026.
FLYMAR F9 accommodates up to 10 people, is 9 meters long and about 3 meters wide. The weight of the boat is less than 2.9 tons.
The vessel's range is 80 km, with a maximum speed of up to 50 km/h. FLYMAR F9 is equipped with an electric motor and autonomous driving systems, making it an environmentally friendly and modern solution for water transport.
A distinctive feature of the boat is the fully submerged T-shaped hydrofoil. It is more energy efficient than the V-shaped underwater counterpart, which is typical for domestic shipbuilding.
Lifting hydrofoils allow transportation in shallow water. The vessel can also moor to an undeveloped shore.
The company is also focused on creating intelligent control systems, including autonomous navigation technologies. The boat is also equipped with an adaptive control system, including cameras, radars, sonar, IMU. This makes it possible to recognize threats, build routes and stabilize movement even in difficult conditions.
