The invention relates to a hydrofoil for a watercraft including a fuselage and two wings arranged on either side of the fuselage and designed to provide hydrodynamic lift to the hydrofoil when it is moving through the water. According to the invention, the two wings are rotatable relative to the fuselage between a deployed position when the hydrofoil is stationary, and a retracted position towards a rear part of the fuselage by the water pressure exerted on the wings when the hydrofoil is moving through the water.
