A fully electric hydrofoil boat comprises an elongated hull, a front canard hydrofoil supported by a front support system configured to raise or lower thereof, and a pair of independently-controlled port and starboard rear stowable hydrofoils supported by their respective first and second rear support systems, in turn configured to raise or lower the first and second rear hydrofoils to a selected depth or tilt them out of the water when docking or transporting the boat on a trailer. The hull has a cut-out section in the front portion sized to fit the front canard hydrofoil to be out of the water if desired. The boat may operate energy-efficiently in a hydrofoil flight mode at high speeds or in a displacement mode at slow speeds when the hydrofoils are in their raised positions.
