About the MB-FY30

The MobyFly MB-FY30 belonged to an earlier proposed family of fast, zero-emission passenger hydrofoils. It was described as a large ferry concept intended to carry hundreds of passengers while using foils to reduce wetted area, wake and energy consumption. MobyFly’s present official website no longer includes an MB-FY30 product page or confirms the old 30-metre model’s capacity, speed, range or build schedule. Instead, the company is advancing the MBFY-S, a 12-metre, 12-to-20-passenger hydrofoil now under construction. That change matters for anyone researching procurement: the old MB-FY30 figures were design targets, not evidence of a certified vessel in service. This listing is retained as a historical reference to the company’s larger-ferry ambitions, with current availability and technical decisions deferred to MobyFly’s active programme.

Performance in Context

Older material quoted high passenger counts and speeds around 40 knots, but MobyFly’s current official pages do not reaffirm an MB-FY30 specification. Do not use those figures for timetables, tenders or infrastructure sizing.

Battery and Charging

A commercial hydrofoil of this proposed scale would require route-specific batteries and high-power dock charging. No current official MB-FY30 energy or charge-time specification is published; grid, redundancy and turnaround planning must use the active vessel design.

The MB-FY30 is not part of MobyFly’s current public product presentation. Contact the company about the MBFY-S, demonstration plans and whether a larger certified platform remains on its development roadmap.
