Request a quoteCollaboration between BMW and German foiling startup TYDE — a reverse-bow, glass-hulled foiling trimaran aimed at B2B luxury ferry/shuttle use (resort transfers, airport-to-harbour) rather than private ownership. Lifts onto its hydrofoils at 18 knots. Twin 100kW Torqeedo motors, six BMW i3-derived battery modules totalling 240kWh. Interior styled by BMW with a 32-inch touchscreen (BMW Operating System 8) and a Hans Zimmer-composed onboard soundscape. Category set to 'other' rather than a standard day-boat/tender type given its unconventional foiling-ferry design and B2B commercial positioning.
