Feature: Ghost
The world’s first 28-meter private foiling yacht.
Foiler, the UAE-based brand behind the famous ‘flying’ yacht Spirit, announced its next ambitious project, Ghost, the world’s first 28-meter private foiling yacht. Constructed from carbon fiber and titanium, Ghost will offer a lightweight yet incredibly strong platform that allows it to literally rise above the water. Using ENATA’s proprietary foiling system, Ghost will be capable of ‘flying’ approximately two meters above the surface, achieving a cruising speed of 30-35 knots and a top speed exceeding 40 knots.
“Foiling transforms the experience of yachting,” says Alois Vieujot, CEO of ENATA Group. “At 40 knots, passengers can move freely, speak in hushed tones, and enjoy a completely smooth, stable ride, something unimaginable on a conventional yacht. Ghost takes this comfort and serenity to a whole new scale.”
With a total interior living area of 133 square meters (excluding the cabins) and 52 square meters of exterior deck space, Ghost offers expansive living areas rarely seen on yachts of this size that can still be registered as pleasure craft. The open-plan interior accommodates three to five bedrooms, including a private beach club aft that connects directly to the sea, designed for owners who seek adventure, independence, and effortless connection with the water. Ghost’s full-beam superstructure unlocks an interior volume typically associated with much larger yachts, expanding the saloon and enhancing natural openness.
Inside, the atmosphere is defined by contemporary minimalism, premium materials, and seamless integration of advanced control systems. Foiler’s signature front seats and joystick controls provide intuitive handling, empowering owner-operators to pilot Ghost themselves with precision and ease. Soft, fluid interior forms contrast with the angular exterior, creating warm and serene living spaces shaped for effortless daily life on board. An integrated, hidden crane system allows quick deployment of a jetski or tender while preserving Ghost’s clean, uninterrupted silhouette, enhancing its readiness for adventures.
Designed as a serial-production, semi-customizable platform, Ghost signals the beginning of a new generation of Foiler. Construction is expected to begin within the next 12 to 18 months, with the first launch scheduled for 2029.
