A marine vessel comprising a hull, a control unit, a hydrofoiling arrangement, and a motion sensor system. The motion sensor system includes a radar transceiver control unit and at least one radar transceiver arranged to transmit a radar signal in a boresight direction pointing at the sea surface, where the radar transceiver control unit is arranged to determine at least a current heave of the hull relative to the water surface based on radar backscatter from the sea surface. The control unit is arranged to control the hydrofoiling arrangement to reduce a difference between the current heave of the hull and a desired heave of the hull.
