Wavefoil is a brand that specializes in retractable bow foils, offering state-of-the-art bow foil technology. These innovative bow foils have been developed to provide significant fuel savings, reduce ship motions, and offer a more comfortable experience at sea. By combining a smart retraction mechanism with the use of lightweight yet durable composite materials, Wavefoil brings wave propulsion to the market.

The concept of using wings or foils on the bow of vessels to harness wave energy has been known for over 150 years. The foils generate lift as the vessel moves up and down in waves, converting wave power directly into propulsive power. In addition to fuel savings, bow foils also provide increased comfort, reduced vibrations, less spray, improved operability, and the ability to maintain higher speeds in waves.

The actual fuel-saving potential depends on factors such as the ship, its speed, foil size and location, and wave conditions. Fuel savings for suitable ships range from 5-15%. Wavefoil offers a range of concept designs for different types of vessels, including crew transfer vessels, emergency response & rescue vessels, expedition vessels, live fish carriers, longliners, and explorer yachts.

With an experienced team of professionals, including a CEO with extensive leadership experience in the maritime industry, finance, and consulting, Wavefoil is committed to providing cutting-edge solutions in the marine industry. They have offices in Ålesund, Oslo, and Bergen, Norway
