Photos: This 30-foot hybrid boat to offer world’s longest-range with over 700-mile run

Navier unveiled the Quanta-R at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, a 30-foot hybrid-electric hydrofoiling vessel that sets a new benchmark in recreational boating with a record-breaking range of over 700 nautical miles at cruising speed—nearly double the current industry standard. Built on Navier’s Pioneer hull, the Quanta-R employs actively stabilized hydrofoils that lift the hull out of the water to reduce drag, significantly enhancing fuel efficiency, lowering wake, and minimizing noise. This innovation marks a shift toward more sustainable marine travel by reducing reliance on fuel-intensive propulsion. The Quanta-R features aviation-inspired, software-defined mobility, enabling high performance and comfort even in challenging sea conditions (Sea State 3). It is the first recreational model based on Navier’s scalable Generalized Marine Vessel Platform, designed for adaptability across commercial, military, and passenger applications. The platform’s redundant system architecture eliminates single points of failure, embodying a dual-use technology approach that bridges luxury leisure boating with defense
