Flying Fish presented their hydrofoil demonstrator

18 November 2024 |

We are extremely proud of Buccaneer Flying Fish! Last Friday, they successfully launched their demonstrator boat, the Flying Fish 1, in the Rotterdam harbor.

Zero-Emission High-Speed Vessels

The Flying Fish 1 is making zero-emission high-speed shipping a reality. Using hydrofoil technology, it offers enhanced comfort, efficiency, speed, and significantly reduced fuel consumption. The successful demonstration of this scale model is just the beginning—now it’s time to take the next step toward building zero-emission high-speed vessels.

Embracing Risks as a Launching Customer

Innovation requires boldness and a willingness to embrace risk. The Flying Fish 1 must now be constructed and tested at full scale. Securing a launching customer is critical because, after one successful deployment, many more are sure to follow. Are you ready to take the leap?

Funded by Smart Energy Systems (SES)

The Flying Fish demonstrator was funded by the Smart Energy Systems (SES) program by Gemeente Rotterdam. This program supports innovative businesses in conducting feasibility studies or experiments that accelerate the deployment of sustainable, smart energy systems.

Boosting Marine Innovations

Flying Fish is dedicated to creating a sustainable, emission-free shipping industry. They combine cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices and a profound understanding of the maritime market. With expertise in hydrofoils, electric drivetrains, and fleet management software, Flying Fish is designing the fast, zero-emission ships of the future.
