YOUR JOURNEY

WHERE THE SKY

MEETS THE SEA

SWIFT

At 3 times the speed of marine craft, less traveling time means more time enjoying the destination.

SUSTAINABLE

Higher efficiency due to an increased life-to-drag ratio resulting from flying close to the surface.

SAFE

Unique wing design provides inherent stability in ground effect, no complex flight control system required.

SIMPLE

Powered by car engines, and operated by a marine captain, requires minimal maintenance and simple infrastructure.

SECURE

Avoid rough seas without turbulence, low cabin noise ensures a smooth and comfortable ride.

AIRFISH 8

The AF 8 is a WIG craft boasting a compact footprint. Engineered to harvest the ground effect for efficiency, it can be operated by just 1-2 crew members while accommodating 8-9 passengers. Powered by a pair of robust automotive V8 engines, fueled by standard gasoline, the AirFish combines speed with practicality.

Certified in accordance with International Maritime Organization WIG guidelines, it sets the standard for innovative maritime transportation.
