A marine vessel (500) comprising a hull (110), a control unit (130), a hydrofoiling arrangement (180, 190), and a motion sensor system (140),where the motion sensor system (140) comprises a radar transceiver control unit (145) and at least one radar transceiver (170) arranged to transmit a radar signal (175) in a boresight direction pointing at the sea surface (150), where the radar transceiver control unit (145) is arranged to determine at least a current heave (dz) of the hull (110) relative to the water surface (150) based on radar backscatter from the sea surface (150),where the control unit (130) is arranged to control the hydrofoiling arrangement (180, 190) to reduce a difference between the current heave (dz) of the hull (110) and a desired heave of the hull (110).
