News: Voodoo Yachts Launch XF75 Expedition Foiler

XF75 Expedition Foiler Launched By Voodoo Yachts
​

The first XF75 Expedition Foiler has been launched by Voodoo Yachts. In fact, the yacht is in the water and has already conducted sea trials. The vessel is a performance-oriented yacht and the sea trials have already yielded a 51-knot top-end. The 22.8-meter is built on a twin-hull platform and that provides not only a comfortable ride but is also very efficiency. The yacht recently concluded a run from New Zealand to Queensland (Australia) in 36 hours covering approximately 1,170 nautical miles. Speaking of Australia, this vessel will make her debut at the 2025 Sanctuary Cove Boat Show which is coming up in a few days-time 22 to 25th of May.

After making her global debut at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, this foiling cat will then be taken on its first owner maiden voyage. This is expected to take the yacht to The Kimberley which is a stretch of coastline and savannah area in Western Australia. It’s known for large swaths of wilderness defined by rugged ranges, dramatic gorges, semi-arid savanna and a largely isolated coastline.

The key to the XF75's impressive performance is its foiling capabilities. According to the yard this results in approximately a 50 percent increase in efficiency compared to its monohull counterparts. Worth noting, there is a 'H' on the roof of the yacht signifying it is helicopter capable for quick touch-and-go operations.

The yard also revealed another yacht that is a bit larger at 28.5-meters which will still be performance oriented. They are tapping on a 40-knot top-end for this larger sistership. As for the XF75 Expedition Foiler, principal dimensions are 22.8-meter length overall and a beam of 7.6-meters and a very slim 0.9-meter draft.
