I'm from Moscow. My biggest memory with those is going on a school trip to Pertozavodsk (where these ships also cruise) and puking my entire breakfast out on what happened to be the worst storm the ship's gotten into since 10 years.

We had those as regular means of transportation from 60s to mid 90s and it was great. You would not feel any waves as the hydro foil would compensate it and the time it would take from one point to another is simular to a bus a or a train but rather in a straight line and romantic feeling.

Great video......went on a 1983-built Meteor in 2008 from Peterhof back to the city during a tour on our Baltic cruise. The Mrs wasn't impressed with the immaculately maintained craft at all, I absolutely loved it!! On the open deck I managed to lift up a small hinged cover on the floor and peer down into the engine room....they are 12-cyl Zvezda M400 units in most of these craft. Thanks for sharing!

Andy Preston Wow - thanks for your comments. So pleased that you enjoyed the video 😀

+Andy Preston It surprises me that we don't see these vessels more in the West. Surely there must be places where a rapid shuttle would be useful?
I was just wondering what engines it hand and you answered that right away, thanks.

in Russia they are still being produced, already new upgraded versions, less noise, better and more comfortable, more economical. Moreover, the fleet of hydrofoils is being updated, there is a Valdai 45R for 45 seats, there is a Meteor 120R for 120 seats, a Comet 120M kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8l4Z5tzmamUj4E.html

They run the exact same ones in Vietnam between Ho Chi Min and Vung Tau. Absolutely rotten on the topsides, you could poke your finger through the superstructure.
