The Gondola Hydrofoil utilizes a minimalist design concept. It combines the elegance of a gondola with the dynamism of a hydrofoil, blending traditional culture with modern aesthetics to create a new water tourism experience for Venice, as well as other coastal areas, based on Venetian culture. It is capable of switching between high-speed movement and leisurely cruising, ensuring that it meets the needs of users in different situations and enhances the traveling experience. The research project not only designed the hydrofoil, but also explored a new research path for tourism experiences.
