jetfoil
Lifted sea vessel
A jetfoil is a passenger hydrofoil powered by water jet propulsion rather than conventional propellers.
The craft rides on underwater wings that lift the hull above the surface at speed, reducing drag and allowing faster travel.
Jetfoils operate ferry services in coastal waters and between islands: The jetfoil to Macau takes about an hour.
