A hydrofoil boat can skim over the surface of the water. It features wing-like structures called foils beneath the hull that lift the boat above the water as it gains speed, reducing drag and allowing for smoother travel. This design enables the vessel to glide efficiently, especially in choppy conditions. Hydrofoils are often used in high-speed ferries and racing boats.
