Pioneering technology

In our relentless pursuit to redefine luxury yachting, we have harnessed the potent combination of advanced hydrofoil technology and electric propulsion, leading to a breakthrough in efficiency, zero emissions, and uncompromised riding comfort.

The hydrofoil

Embark on an unparalleled foiling adventure with effortless and comfortable handling, empowered by superior control authority, even in challenging sea conditions. Our cutting-edge active hydrofoil technology facilitates high-speed foiling without generating waves or drag, thereby significantly extending the battery range.

Foil control system

The tandem foiling system on a Tyde is rooted in America’s Cup DNA and evolved into a new generation of high-efficiency computer-managed foils and rudders. For The Icon we developed an unmatched foiling experience with easy and comfortable handling and superior control authority even in rougher seas. The flight control system scans the surrounding sea at various points hundreds of times per second. Embedded hardware components provide real-time control without delay. Derived from aviation standards, the control system features redundant safety and the highest flight capabilities.

Digital system

Experience the power of the future with the electrifying buzz of digitalization. Tyde’s integrated architecture enables many unique features that create a new experience. It is visible in the holistic user interface with a display unrivalled in the marine industry and in advanced functions like voice control for key commands. It is also reflected in extensive remote-maintenance and remote-update capabilities for all sophisticated digital functions.

Batteries

The powerful electric drive system sources its energy from high-voltage and proven BMW i3 batteries with 240 kWh capacity providing a range of more than 50nm. The automotive grade batteries come with a 9-year capacity warranty.

Charging and pier

In general, any electric yacht can be charged using the existing relatively powerful 3-phase charging facilities, installed as a standard in almost all marinas. This enables reasonably fast charging, e.g., 50% in 2 hours, even before dedicated marine charging networks are broadly available. We also build and supply custom charging piers for your Tyde.
