Overview 
Candela
Professional
Designed and made in Sweden
Professional vessels
Our P-12 is suitable for private or public sector operators, including for public transportation, hospitality or taxi services. Operators benefit from reduced fuel expenses and minimal maintenance requirements, translating to higher profitability and sustainability for land sustainability for their operations. Quiet and without a drop of oil onboard, it is also infinitely gentler on marine ecosystems.
Water can do more
Unlock the potential of your waters.
For smart cities, municipalities & new developments
Unlock the potential of your waterways. For a sustainable urban future.
Make your city or development a global sustainability front-runner.
Don’t just reach your climate goals, become a front-runner in the race towards climate neutrality.
With our tried and tested 100% electric hydrofoil technology, you become emissions-free AND reduce your overall energy needs by up to 95%.
Seamless mobility means happier residents and better business.
With more but smaller ferries comes the potential for higher frequency scheduling and more flexible (or even on-demand) routes. With low costs at high speeds, no wake and shoreline erosions, exemptions from speed restrictions can be a reality.
This means more departures, faster commutes, and precious time saved for commuters.
Lower your energy and service costs by up to 90%.
With same or similar initial investment per passenger seat, our electric hydrofoiling vessels save up to 90% in energy and propulsion service costs, compared to a traditional large fossil fuelled ferry.
With our nimbler vessels, the potential for smarter utilisation is massive – meaning fewer empty seats travelling around the seas and more flexibility in route planning.
From economies of scale, to economies of small-scale. Fast, nimble, flexible.
With big cuts in operational costs, we can stop using large, heavy ferries (dimensioned for rare peak moments) and move towards multiple fleets of small and nimble crafts.
Utilization improves dramatically, while increasing frequency and convenience for passengers.
Lower total costs for operators, increased efficiency for commuters, employers and communities.

Over the vessel’s lifecycle, the CO2 reduction is 97.5% compared to a diesel ferry.
Locally, the no-wake effect from the hydrofoils helps save sensitive habitats and shorelines from erosion.
Fast return on investment, with versatile use and low operating costs.
With same or similar initial investment per passenger seat, our electric hydrofoiling vessels save up to 90% in energy and propulsion service costs compared to a traditional ferry.
With our small, fast and nimble vessels, the potential for smart and versatile utilisation is big – whether it’s an airport pick up, snorkeling excursion, beaching, or sunset cruise the boats will guarantee a memorable experience without leaving a trace.
For water taxi services
A trusted, low-maintenance friend, taking fossil fuel out of the equation .
Saving costs for years to come, with tried and tested hydrofoil technology,
Our 100% electric hydrofoiling technology has been on the waters in our serial-produced leisure boats since 2019, now becoming available for commercial vessels.
The technology keeps delivering value for it’s owners by cutting energy needs as well as operating and maintenance costs. Energy costs down by up to 90%.
High-speed, Long-range and fast charging like never before.
With hydrofoils eliminating some 80% of the drag from the water, our boats can cover long distances at high speed AND with exceptionally low energy consumption.
This means batteries are kept relatively small (car battery and charging standard) and charging times very short. DC-charging is also available with all our Polestar Powered vessels.
Take fossil fuel out of the equation, and save shorelines from erosion.
All our crafts are 100% electric and propelled by the most efficient electric boat motor (Candela C-POD) in the world. Along with the hydrofoil technology, it reduces energy needs by 80-95% while eliminating all local emissions.
The no-wake effect from the hydrofoils will help save shorelines from erosion, which might also allow for exemptions from speed limits.
For super yacht tender owners & operators

Think small
With large cuts in operational costs, we can stop using large ferries, dimensioned for peak moments, and move towards fleets with multiple small and nimble craft.
The upfront investment remains the same, but efficiency increases dramatically, with higher frequency and more convenience for passengers. Operators benefit from lower total costs, while commuters, employers, and communities enjoy a myriad of other benefits.
Cleaner cities
Our professional vessels 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.
Proving the case:
The Stockholm Project
Our first P-12 Shuttle has entered serial production and will join Stockholm city’s fleet of public transportation ferries in 2024 in a pilot on one of its main commuter routes. The pilot will run through mid-2025 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%.

Questions?
Here are some answers.
How many passengers can the P-12 Shuttle take?
The P-12 Shuttle has 30 seats + 1 captain. Also, there is 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.
What are the charging options of a Candela P-12 Shuttle?
• DC: 175 kW, charging time 10-85 % approximately 45 min
