A hydrofoil vessel 2 comprises a hull 4 and a water jet propulsion unit 10. The water jet propulsion unit includes a water inlet 14 arranged to be located below the water surface 24 whilst the hydrofoil vessel is in motion, and a water outlet arranged to be located above the water surface whilst the hydrofoil vessel is in motion. The water outlet is placed outside of a main body of the hull and below the rear end of the main body of the hull. The water outlet may be placed within an extension 8 of the hull that protrudes downwards from the main body of the hull at the rear of the hull. The hydrofoil vessel may comprise two hulls with each of the hulls having a water jet propulsion unit.
