The invention concerns a vessel having a planing surface and a transom at a stern of the vessel, mounted on the transom is an interceptor and an actuator to move the interceptor in vertical direction. In accordance with the invention the transom defines a sharp edge with the planing surface and the underside of the interceptor comprises a convex rounded edge extending upwards to the rear with a leading edge of the convex rounded edge having a tangent approximately parallel to the water flow along the planing surface near the transom, and/or the transom defines a convex rounded edge with the planing surface with a leading edge of the convex rounded edge being tangent to the planing surface and the interceptor defines at its lowest part a sharp edge that can move behind the convex rounded edge in vertical direction.
