| From
1956 when Rodriquez pioneered fast sea transport with
the world’s first fast ferry until today, Rodriquez
has produced more than 250 hydrofoils delivered all
over the world.
Compared to conventional craft of similar size, the
hydrofoil is the most economical means of transporting
passengers at 40 knots, using only 600 litres per
hour to do so.
The hydrofoil concept today is represented by the
Foilmaster series. With a capacity of 240 passengers
and fully HSC compliant, the Foilmaster is a proud
continuation of the series.
