Ferrari Hits the Water: Meet Hypersail
Ferrari has always been synonymous with speed, precision, and boundary-pushing design—but until now, that story’s been written on pavement and track. With the reveal of Hypersail, a 100-foot foiling monohull yacht, Ferrari extends its obsession with performance to a new frontier: the open ocean.
This isn’t just a superyacht—it’s a floating laboratory for future-forward engineering. And like any true Ferrari, it’s built to fly.
Foils Instead of Wheels
Hypersail reimagines what a racing yacht can be. Developed alongside renowned naval architect Guillaume Verdier and led by offshore racing legend Giovanni Soldini, the vessel features a radical three-point hydrofoil system: a canting keel, foil-equipped rudder, and retractable side foils that lift the hull completely out of the water at speed.
The result? Virtually frictionless sailing—and zero fuel use.
Self-Powered Performance
Forget diesel. Hypersail is fully energy self-sufficient, relying on solar, wind, and hydrokinetic systems to power onboard hydraulics, instrumentation, and control systems. Ferrari’s in-house Formula 1 and GT engineers are directly involved in the tech transfer—applying hypercar-level simulation tools, aerodynamic strategies, and carbon fiber expertise to marine design.
With nine patents already filed, Hypersail is as much a research platform as it is a vessel.
Designed to Race, Built to Last
Set to launch in 2026, Hypersail will be crewed by 8–12 sailors and compete in endurance ocean races, though Ferrari made it clear: this isn’t an America's Cup bid. It’s something new. Something faster. Something freer.
Chairman John Elkann called it a “sporting challenge”—a spiritual continuation of Ferrari’s drive to innovate without boundaries.
More Than a Yacht
Hypersail is Ferrari’s boldest experiment in brand evolution yet. It marks the company’s first true leap off-road—and off-land. It's not about owning the seas, but about redefining performance through a lens of sustainability, elegance, and technological ambition.
Whether you're a sailing fanatic, a design obsessive, or just someone who understands what Ferrari means to culture, Hypersail proves one thing: the brand isn’t stuck on four wheels. It’s already cruising the future.
