    Existence of a steadily moving localized solitary wave on a surface of an infinitely deep inviscid fluid is proved. Starting from the fluid mechanics equations, the problem is transformed into a single integro-differential equation resembling the Benjamin-Ono equation. Then, the normal-form analysis reduces the solitary-wave existence problem to an integrable fourth-order dynamical system with a nonlocal residual term. The solitary wave is only weakly localized (similarly to the soliton of the Benjamin-Ono equation), i.e., it decays at infinity nonexponentially. It is proved, nevertheless, that the solution decays at least as \(1/|x|\).
