A modular hydrofoil watercraft that includes a plurality of modules which are releasably connectable to each other to form the modular hydrofoil watercraft, wherein the modular hydrofoil watercraft when assembled comprises:
- a hull extending along a longitudinal center axis;
- a propulsion system that includes a motor and a propelling member, the motor being in driving connection with the propelling member;
- a mast extending downwardly from the hull, the propelling member being connected to the mast;
- a hydrofoil connected to the mast;
- wherein the plurality of modules includes at least a first module and a second module being releasably connectable to each other;
- one or more locking arrangements, wherein a locking arrangement of the one or more locking arrangements is arranged to releasably retain the first module and the second module of the plurality of modules in connection;
- an electric power unit for powering the propulsion system, wherein the plurality of modules includes an electric power module that includes the electric power unit;
- wherein the plurality of modules includes an operation module that includes the propulsion system and the mast;
- a connector part connected to the mast;
- wherein the connector part includes a connector releasably connected to the electric power unit;
- wherein the connector part is configured to operatively couple the propulsion system and the electric power unit;
- wherein the operation module includes the connector part, and wherein the connector part is releasably connected to the hull;
- wherein the one or more locking arrangements includes a connector locking arrangement arranged to releasably retain the hull and the connector part in connection;
- and
- wherein the connector locking arrangement is arranged to be accessible from a top surface of the hull.
