Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a marine vessel comprising a bow section, a stern section, a centreline and a planing hull. The planing hull comprises a vee bottom section extending along the centreline from the stern section to the bow section and a pair of retainer walls extending from the stern section towards the bow section along either side of the vee bottom section. Each retainer wall extends downwardly parallel to, or at an acute angle to, the centreline. The vee bottom section is configured to, in use, direct water outwardly from the centreline towards the retainer walls. The retainer walls are configured to downwardly direct said outwardly directed water for providing lift to the marine vessel.
