Slogan: Designing and building fast, efficient, zero-emission hydrofoil boats.
Description: MobyFly designs and delivers zero-emission hydrofoil boats that promise to change waterborne travel forever. The company offers a sustainable, practical, and significantly more cost-efficient mass transport solution that will benefit operators, municipalities, and passengers alike. These hydrofoil boats are one of the most efficient forms of transportation in terms of energy consumption per passenger, requiring up to 95% less energy than any current diesel ferries. The existing market for ferries is significant, with 2.1 BILLION passengers per year, making it on par with the commercial airline industry. MobyFly's focus on utilizing the natural infrastructure of rivers, lakes, and coastal waterways aligns with the necessity to address climate change. The company was founded by Sue Putallaz, Anders Bringdal, and Ricardo Bencatel, who combined their collective experience in urban and transportation planning and the design of hydrofoil boats and software systems to establish a company at the forefront of zero-emission mass transportation and help move the transition to net-zero forward.
