Quadrofoil is a thrilling, yet quiet and eco-friendly watercraft. Its silent motor and zero emissions enable it to ride on lakes, rivers, seas & eco-zones where most motor boats and PWC’s are not allowed. No noise, no waves, no emissions.
The watercraft comes with an all-electric outboard motor and special steering system, so not a drop of oil goes in the environment.
It flies over water at 1 €/h and hardly any annual maintenance costs. That makes it the most efficient PWC on the water.

The world’s best places to mix and meet with the highest profile glitterati are the most fashionable European and North American ski resorts.

Any person you talk to on a ski lift could well be featured in a magazine you read whether it is on business, fashion or simply gossip.
