A novel a personal hydrofoil watercraft for being used within a body of water with a controllably adjustable center of gravity is disclosed. The personal hydrofoil watercraft is formed from an enclosed hull having a flotation volume with a seating assembly for accommodating a buttocks of a human rider and with a handle assembly for being held onto by hands of the human rider. The personal hydrofoil watercraft further including a center of gravity shifting assembly for shifting a center of gravity of the personal hydrofoil watercraft through a center of gravity shifting assembly motion platform for shifting a center of gravity of the personal hydrofoil watercraft in one of a bow to stern direction and the bow and stern direction and also in a port and starboard direction. A strut is interconnected with a proximal end releasably coupled with the center of gravity shifting assembly motion platform and a hydrofoil assembly fixedly interconnected with the distal end of the strut with a propulsion system disposed proximate the distal end of the strut for propelling the watercraft in the body of water and for at least a portion of the personal hydrofoil watercraft to lift itself out of the water when in use and for a weight of the personal hydrofoil watercraft to be supported by the hydrofoil assembly disposed below a water surface.
