A new and efficient way of getting across the Hauraki Gulf.

Fullers has teamed up with sustainable boat company SeaChange, to bring a zero-emission hydrofoil onto Auckland's waters from next year.

The boat is fully electric, carries 10 passengers and can reach a top speed of 55 km/h.

SeaChange founder and CEO Max Olson told Tim Dower they're much more efficient than the ferries currently on the water.

He says they make them out of high performance materials like carbon fibre which gets better shapes, and they have much better control strategy than normal ferries.
