We’re so honored to be the ones to bring the VS—9 to Lake Taupō. And it’s the icing on top to work with such an amazing crew of people at Vessev!

We're so stoked to finally share this... We are bringing Vessev VS-9 electric hydrofoiling vessel to Lake Taupō!

The VS-9 quite literally flies above the water on carbon fibre foils, delivering smooth, silent, emissions-free travel - offering a new way to experience this extraordinary lake.

When we launch, Taupo Hydrofoil Tours will be one of the world's first electric hydrofoil tourism experiences.

This past week, we've been capturing a private preview on Lake Taupo. From here, we'll take you behind the scenes - sharing the journey from build to arrival and beyond.

Public launch: Spring 2026.
This is just the beginning!

Some movements leave a trace… others leave a feeling.

What we’re bringing to Lake Taupō is crafted for quiet, calm, and a different kind of connection to the water.

✨Something new is touching down on Lake Taupō... A way of moving across water that feels impossible until you experience it.

Follow along as we reveal an innovation unlike anything the lake has seen. 😏
