Announcing our partnership with Fullers360

Today we announced a new partnership with New Zealand's largest ferry operator, Auckland's Fullers360.

Together, we'll be bringing the VS–9 – our first zero-emission hydrofoiling vessel – to the Hauraki Gulf.

The partnership is a significant milestone in Fullers360’s decarbonisation journey and marks the beginning of a new era of premium, sustainable tourism experiences in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

In adopting the VS–9 into its fleet, Fullers360 will become the first operator to commercialise an electric hydrofoiling vessel.

Once in service, passengers will be able to glide across the Hauraki Gulf in ultimate comfort and near silence, amplifying the beauty of the surrounding environment.

At nine metres, the VS–9 will seat up to 10 passengers, and be able to reach a top speed of 30 knots (around 55km per hour).

Construction is underway.
