Candela P-12
Redefining urban waterborne transportation. Our innovative P-12 is the world’s first high-speed and long-range electric shuttle ship.
Faster commuting
Today’s ferries travel slowly on urban waterways due to massive wake generation.

Effeciency
Low consumption,
low costs
A new standard for energy consumption. By removing the water surface friction through hydrofoiling, which allows for electric propulsion at high speeds.
Cleaner cities
Our shuttles use 80% less energy than conventional ships and have the ability to travel far and fast on pure electricity. This means a 100% reduction in emissions, particulate matter and NOx.
Future-proofing Stockholm
city’s archipelago.
Proving the case:
The Stockholm Project
Our first P-12 Shuttle has entered serial production and will enter Stockholm city’s fleet of public transportation ferries in 2024 in a pilot, on the main routes. The pilot will run throughout 2024 and evaluate the P-12’s performance, in terms of maneuverability, comfort, chargeability, wake and noise.
With a speed of between 20-30 knots and built for optimal boarding, the current bus and subway commute on a number of routes can be halved.
Given reduced energy consumption, low maintenance needs and possibility to increase passenger volumes, we estimate that operational costs will be reduced by at least 40%.

It feels like we’re flying
Electric-Boat Maker Candela Gets Cash Infusion to Scale Up Production
Its C-8 boat model has already become the best-selling electric speed boat in Europe (and it actually outsells most internal combustion engine-powered boats in its premium category).
Candela’s hydrofoiling electric boats attract $24M investment in a bid for cleaner seas
At a stroke it makes every other boat feel strangely low-tech, as if Candela has finally managed to reinvent the wheel or, perhaps more aptly, discover flight.
Candela’s C-8 flying electric boat is already selling better than gas-powered boats
The result is a super stable boat, you can’t really get seasick on board.

So, OK, what’s the bottom line? Simply put, the Candela is a better boat. Just like a Tesla is a better car and an F150 Lightning is a better F150. This is the future, kids, and it’s awesome!

Technology
A new era of technology
on the water
Now is the time to invest in environmentally friendly public transportation systems on water.
We provide the solutions that make sense, which in turn provides the passenger a smooth and fast commute that is gentler on the environment and vastly more cost effiecent, even after taking capital expenditures into account.
Market proven
The P-12 platform is based on our proprietary hydrofoiling technology, already in use in our recreational boats.
In January 2022 we initiated testing of the first prototype of the Candela C-8, the successor to the Candela C-7.
With more than 40 C-8s delivered globally, and another 60 C-8s on order, we are the global leaders when it comes to deliver electric hydrofoiling boats.
Full control, of every detail
As pioneers of electric hydrofoiling, we’ve had to develop nearly all technology in-house. Through full control of every detail, we ensure harmony between hardware and software.

Questions?
Here are some answers.
What is the range in high speeds?
The range is up to 50NM in service speed (25 knots). It will be possible to operate the boat for approximately 3 hours before charging. More than enough to handle the rush hours in the morning and evening time.
What are the service and top speeds?
The service speed is 25 knots, the top speed is 30 knots
How many passengers can the P-12 Shuttle take?
The P-12 Shuttle has 30 seats + 1 captain. There is also room for bikes and wheelchair seating. The maximum payload is 3 000kg
What certifications and approvals will the P-12 Shuttle comply with?
The P-12 Shuttle will have a Type approval- DNV Craft with passenger and battery notation. For local standards and certifications please contact Candela to discuss further.
How does the P-12 Shuttle handle rough water?
The P-12 Shuttle handles rough water very well. Significant wave height HS 1 meter when foiling and HS 2 meters when not foiling. If the weather conditions are too rough, simply land, and the P-12 Shuttle works very well as a normal planing catamaran.
What happens if you hit something in the water?
The foils are made of carbon fiber which makes them extremely strong. Hitting smaller debris has little to no effect. Hitting bigger objects – a log or rock for example – will result in the foil breaking at a designated breaking point. The breaking point is positioned to maximize protection of the hull from impact.
How is the boat kept stable?
Using advanced sensor-tactics along with a powerful computer, our boats automatically balance by adjusting the foils. The advanced control system makes adjustments of the foils at a rate of 100 times per second.
What are the charging options of a Candela P-12 Shuttle?
• DC: 175 kW, charging time 10-85 % approximately 45 min
