TurboJET in Hong Kong use Boeing hydrofoils (Jetfoil) between HK and Macau [1][2]. They're great. Once you get to cruising speed, they lift out of the water and the ride becomes incredibly smooth. It's 50 miles and the trip only takes around an hour. Unfortunately, they seem to be being slowly replaced by non hydrofoil craft, presumably due to lower operating costs.
