Avila Boats

About Avila

Reshaping the
Future of Boating.

Avila is a feminine German word meaning “bird” or “desired” - a perfect metaphor for boats that lift above the water and fly.

Our Mission

A Pioneering Vision for the Waterways.

Avila was founded with firsthand knowledge of what it takes to bring hydrofoiling electric boats to market. Our founder is a lifelong boater who has owned boats of all sizes - from kayaks to a 17' trihull he restored, a 21' Sanger V210 wakeboarding boat, a Ski Centurion competition ski boat, a 35' CHB trawler motor sailer yacht, and a 50' classic Stephens yacht. He also consulted directly for Candela Boats - one of the world's leading electric hydrofoil manufacturers - gaining deep insight into the engineering, production, and commercial challenges of this emerging category. That experience shapes every decision we make.

Avila is a pioneering company at the forefront of revolutionizing boating experiences through cutting-edge hydrofoiling hybrid electric boat technology. Our mission is to reshape the way people explore waterways and provide eco-friendly, efficient transportation solutions that expand the possibilities of marine travel.

From personal watercraft to ocean-going yachts, every platform we build shares one DNA: lift above the water, silence the engine, leave nothing behind.

“We set out to build boats that are not just better, but fundamentally different. Cleaner, quieter, faster - and accessible to everyone who loves the water.”

How it works

Technology that changes everything.

01

Hydrofoil Lift

Submerged foils generate lift as speed increases, raising the hull clear of the water surface and eliminating wave drag entirely.

02

Hybrid Electric Drive

A hybrid electric drivetrain pairs high-density batteries with optional generator backup, delivering silent clean power at all speeds.

03

Carbon Fiber Construction

Every Avila hull is built from aerospace-grade carbon fiber - lighter, stronger, and more responsive than any conventional marine material.
