Swedish tech company Candela Technology AB has announced that the Candela P-12, their first electric hydrofoiling passenger vessel, has successfully completed test flights in Stockholm and is now moving into serial production at Candela's Rotebro factory.

Production has begun of Candela's C-8 'powered by Polestar' electric daycruiser, ushering in a new era where electric boats can cover hundreds of miles in a day, with DC charging.

Imagine traveling by electric boat from London to Amsterdam and back within 24 hours?

The Candela C-8 is the first electric hydrofoiling boat in production. It soars above the water on two wings, reducing drag and energy consumption by 80%, leading to long range at high speed.

Polestar and Candela reveal the next phase of their partnership – the Candela C-8 Polestar edition.

Centre console craft for fishing, families, and watersports are the most popular type of boats in the world - and also some of the most power-consuming vessels on water. With its efficient, fast-flying hydrofoiling C-8 CC, Swedish tech firm Candela aims to electrify the number one boat segment.

Waterborne transport is now on a path to be faster, cheaper, and more sustainable than land transport in many cities. Candela raises $20 million to bring its passenger hydrofoil vessels to mass production.

Sound pollution from motorboats is increasingly threatening the planet’s most biologically diverse and sensitive ecosystems. Swedish electromobility company Candela can address this with its flying, whisper-quiet explorer vessel P-8 Voyager. Candela CEO and founder, Gustav Hasselskog, speaks at COP27.

Candela C-8 is an electric boat with the range to travel between popular destinations on the Mediterranean coast and the great lakes of southern Europe. It now comes in a version for the sun-drenched markets: Candela T-TOP.

The world’s fastest electric ship, the Candela P-12 Shuttle, is set to hit Stockholm’s waters next year, heralding a new era of transport. The innovative hydrofoiling electric ferry will reduce emissions and slash commuting times – and the city believes it will make waterborne public transport more attractive.

Returning to the US for its 3rd season, the lightning-fast F50 catamarans of Sail Grand Prix will be accompanied by an electric chase boat that can keep up with their pace: Candela C-7.

The foiling Candela P-8 Voyager lets its passengers travel silently and comfortably through wake-sensitive areas or over delicate coral reefs, without leaving a trace. The next generation of electric passenger boats flies above the water at high speeds. 

Moto Ondoso – speedboat wakes – threaten to erode the foundations of 'The Floating city'. To combat this, Candela is introducing the first no-wake, high-speed foiling daycruiser, Candela C-8, during Salone Nautico, on Friday 27 May.

Candela is now opening its first US test drive centre in San Francisco to demonstrate its revolutionary hydrofoiling boats.

The world’s most anticipated electric boat has completed its maiden flight. The foiling Candela C-8 promises to disrupt the gas-guzzling powerboat industry, thanks to a unique combination of long all-electric range, high speed, and industry-first features.

Candela's hydrofoiling electric boats are coming to New Zealand through a partnership with local company Next Generation Boats. The first Candela C-7 speedboat is expected to arrive in early April 2022 followed by the bigger C-8 at the end of the year.

The hydrofoiling Candela C-8 is the dream boat for those who seek to explore the oceans in absolute silence. And while the C-8 is sold out for 2022, it will soon be available for boat sharing in Stockholm and Mallorca through Agapi Boat Club.
