Crillon Tours owns seven
hydrofoils on Lake Titicaca, all of which are known as "arrows".
Hydrofoils are boats that are designed to move quickly and skim over
the water. They run on diesel and skis on bottom allow them to,
when they go fast enough, "fly' on the surface of the water. The
arrow that we used was the Bolivia Arrow, the second-largest of the
hydrofoils with a capacity of about 40. The largest is the Sun Arrow,
which has a capacity of 60 people while the smallest is the Glasnost
Arrow with a capacity of about 4 people. I think hydrofoils are very
useful things.
