HYFOIL Marine proudly returned to SailGP this past weekend in New York City, continuing its role as a trusted provider of Guest Chaser boats for the league’s VIP experience. Since 2019, HYFOIL has supported SailGP at several U.S. venues—including Chicago, Los Angeles, and now once again in the dynamic waters of New York Harbor.
Between heavy ferry traffic, swirling currents, and unpredictable chop, New York Harbor is one of the most demanding environments on the SailGP circuit. But for HYFOIL’s hydrofoil-assisted catamarans, it’s exactly the kind of challenge they’re built for. By skimming across the tops of waves—where water energy is reduced—HYFOIL boats deliver a smoother, more stable ride at speed.
When unusual wave patterns momentarily reduce foil lift, the ride stays smooth. That’s because HYFOIL’s foils are tucked safely between the twin hulls and designed to lift the boat to the water’s surface—not fly it above. So even when the foils aren’t fully carrying the load, the hulls are already there to support the ride. There’s no big drop, no slam—just steady performance through whatever the harbor throws your way.
While multiple vessels support SailGP operations, HYFOIL’s boats have consistently proven to be among the most capable and comfortable platforms for high-speed guest engagement—especially in rough or confused water.
HYFOIL is proud to continue playing a part in the SailGP experience, delivering VIP access to the fastest show on water with unmatched efficiency and comfort.
