Aquila Hydro Glide System

August 25, 2026

The physics of the Aquila Hydro Glide foil system are simple. A foil creates lift. Lift reduces wetted surface area. Less wetted surface area reduces drag. And all the benefits follow from there.
 
Not a new idea — a proven one. Since 2018, Aquila has delivered more foil systems on production boats than any builder in the world.
 
In our new 3½-minute video, Chief Product Officer Jean Raas and Chief Designer Jure Zule break down:

              • Why the ride stays soft when the chop builds

              • Why an Aquila Yacht foil is shaped differently than a Sport or Coupe

              • Why not every Aquila has a foil

              • How a foil can let you hold the same speed with a smaller engine package Watch the video: https://www.aquilaboats.com/news/aquila-hydro-glide-foil?utm_campaign=50454542-Foil&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_kOIhyASM2aqTixuzwGeWiwCNHjUeF9t5uB5KmuWL5wedquUXY0S9OUrKmohh2T0Yq7ogPwdHud6Ykm7jDdAHoYZp2Qw&_hsmi=432128755&utm_content=432128755&utm_source=hs_email#Watch:%20The%20Aquila%20Hydro%20Glide%20Foil%20System,%20Explained
