Corporate precision
Comfort meets purpose.
Quiet by
design
Step inside the Business cabin and the first thing you notice is the silence, an absence of mechanical noise. So, passengers can work, converse, or relax as the vessel glides above the water’s surface. Large windows flood the cabin with light, while ergonomic seating ensures comfort throughout the journey.
Time well
spent
The P-12 Business is ideal for VIP airport transfers, high-level corporate meetings in motion, or fast, direct connections between exclusive destinations. Therefore, it turns travel time into productive or truly restful, private time on board, ensuring passengers always arrive refreshed and ready.
Powering your advantage
Technology that works for your business.
The Business rides on Candela’s revolutionary P-12 hydrofoiling platform, lifting the hull above the waves to cut energy use by up to 80% versus conventional diesel vessels. Additionally, it offers a 40-nautical-mile range at 25 knots and, moreover, remains exceptionally stable, even in rougher waters.
Efficient, sustainable performance
With drastically reduced energy use, the P-12 Business offers major savings on operating costs while charging in about an hour via a standard DC fast charger. Moreover, remote monitoring enables predictive maintenance to maximise uptime. With zero emissions and minimal wake, it opens access to destinations off-limits to diesel vessels, while protecting shorelines and ensuring safe, comfortable passage.

Down to the details
Technical specifications
Questions?
Here are the top five.
How many passengers can the P-12 Business take?
The P-12 Business has 12 seats + 1 captain.
What certifications and approvals will the P-12 Business comply with?
The P-12 Business 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 Business handle rough water?
The P-12 Business electric ferry handles rough water very well. Significant wave height HS 1 meter when foiling and HS 2 meters when not foiling. However, if the weather conditions are too rough, simply land, and the P-12 Business works very well as a normal planing catamaran.
What happens if you hit something in the water?
Actually, the foils are made of carbon fiber which makes them extremely strong. Therefore, hitting smaller debris has little to no effect. This is while, hitting bigger objects – a log or rock for example – will result in the foil breaking at a designated breaking point. Also, the breaking point is positioned to maximize protection of the hull from impact.
What are the charging options of a Candela P-12 Business?
DC: 300 kW, charging time 10-85 % approximately 45 min
