Inside the Futuristic Foiling Yacht Reinventing Sailing

United Arab Emirates–based Enata Group has unveiled the Vatoz, a new 32-foot foiling yacht designed for efficient performance with a reduced environmental footprint. Built to lift cleanly above the water, the Vatoz will foil approximately five feet (about 1.5 meters) above the surface, reducing drag and improving fuel economy while delivering a modern, dynamic presence on the water.

To keep weight down without sacrificing strength, the hull and structure are constructed from carbon fiber. That lightweight build supports the yacht’s high-performance foiling capability and contributes to faster acceleration, improved range and lower fuel consumption compared with heavier, conventionally constructed boats.

The Vatoz employs a hydrostatic propulsion configuration driven by twin 370-horsepower turbo diesel engines, giving the yacht a combined output of 740 hp. That powertrain is expected to enable cruising speeds in the 18–35 knot range, with a top speed near 40 knots. At a steady 20 knots the Vatoz has an estimated range of roughly 190 nautical miles, falling to about 150 nautical miles at 30 knots. These figures reflect the design goal of balancing speed with efficient fuel use during foiling operation.

“Every design feature of the project serves a purpose,” said designer Timur Bozca. “The main idea behind the Vatoz is to maximize dynamics inspired by the stingray. Beneath the clean surfaces and curved lines lies an aerodynamic masterpiece. Distinctive lines draw your eye across the front and out to the prominent wings.” Bozca’s reference to a stingray highlights the yacht’s emphasis on smooth, flowing contours paired with purposeful aerodynamic and hydrodynamic form.

One of the Vatoz’s most notable exterior features is its pair of prominent side wings. These are engineered to improve accessibility and functionality: they provide a secure walkway to the bow, offer protection from waves and can be used for stowing watersports equipment such as surfboards and paddleboards. The wings also contribute to the yacht’s distinctive visual profile, reinforcing both stability when docked and utility underway.

On deck, the helm integrates a fully featured management and control system referred to as “The Wingman.” This system consolidates navigation, propulsion, foil control and vessel monitoring into one interface for simplified operation. The pilot’s console is complemented by ergonomically shaped, egg-style helm seats that prioritize support and comfort during fast transits and extended periods underway.

The Vatoz’s interior follows the exterior’s futuristic, streamlined aesthetic while remaining focused on natural light and practical comfort. A skylight overhead and large side windows flood the main cabin with daylight, creating an airy, open feel below deck. The cabin layout supports dining and entertaining with a U-shaped seating area centered around a table, and a single head provides onboard convenience. The overall arrangement emphasizes multifunctional living space in a compact footprint.

As a compact foiling yacht that emphasizes efficient propulsion, lightweight construction and purposeful design, the Vatoz represents a modern approach to small-performance cruising and day boating.
