The object of the invention is a method of propulsion of a vessel, which includes an upper water drive unit (5) placed in a float (1 ), a mast (2) connected by its upper end to the float (1 ) having a lower water drive unit (4) in its lower part and furthermore the float (1 ) is connected via the mast (2) to an underwater wing (3), a control and communication system, and a control device, wherein in the flight mode, when the float (1 ) is kept above the water surface, the vessel is driven only by the permanently submerged lower water drive unit (4), and in the transitional ride mode, in particular during the start-up, finish, or tilt of the vessel, when at least a part of the float (1 ) is in contact with the water surface and at the same time the water at least partially floods the upper water drive unit (5), the vessel is driven simultaneously by both these drive units (4, 5).
