- Candela P-12, the world’s first electric hydrofoil passenger vessel, has completed its first test flights and begun production at our Rotebro facility. P-12 is offering a faster, sustainable, and more cost-efficient option for maritime transport and will halve commuting times in Stockholm from 2024.
Conducting secretive 30-knot test flights outside Stockholm’s busy port was no small feat, so we’re thrilled to finally share the news.

Have riden a lot on Meteors in St. Petersburg as kid. Once in the captain cabin. Unforgettable. Loved it. Finally hydrofoils coming back!
Hydrofoils is the way to go for sure!
I just rode the ferry to Vaxholm today (an island in the Stockholm archipelago) and smelling those diesel fumes and seeing all that smoke in the air the whole 1.5 hour trip was just such a huge contrast compared to the relatively clean air of the city. This tech looks amazing and is sure to make a positive impact on air quality around the ferry terminals.
As a lifelong engineer who is also an eco warrior SUPERB design! This will take off fast (excuse the pun)!!👍👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely fantastic! An important development that needs to be adopted everywhere.
If it's really environmentally friendly
Thank you!
congrats on the P-12 design concepts and engineering. We are [finally] entering into the sustainable marine power world. Lets hope more manufacturers offer similar leadership and allow the price point to be acceptable for mass market acceptance. Kudos Candela!
Cheers!
Perhaps you could add a forward sonar on the foil to avoid collisions with objects under water? There are some really good new types on the market now. I have read about collisions being a problem for many hydrofoils before. Also, you could add a small razor blade that can move along the foil edge to cut away seaweed or other stuff that gets stuck and increases drag.@@CandelaSpeedBoat
I live in Sydney and we need this on our harbour. Please come to Australia!
Windshield Koenigsegg style.. nice boat! Greets from Argentina
Looks like one of the more realistic projects out there, that could actually succeed commercially.
Will you have a demonstrator at Barcelona for the America's Cup ?
It looks like that will be a huge window to the world for foiling boats and electrification.
Nice technology and great choice of music for the video as well.
How did I only learn about this now, this is the coolest thing!
Superb achievement!
Amazing!!!
Beautiful design!
Congratulations, CANDELA!🎉🎉💐💐💐💐💐💐🎊🎊🎊👏👏👏
Incredible ship! Really cool
Very cool!!!
Wow! That's swift as an arrow skimming the waterways! Candela P-12 redefines the comfort level of ferry travel now! Best Wishes, Gustav & Candela Team!
Fantastic mode of transportation for people especially living by the sea - great invention - congratulations
This is just so good in so many ways! Hopefully we see hi-power flashlight level numbers soon (e.g. 250,000 candelas)
Make it 2500 first. (A plan for the most feasable 25 and 250 globally could be of great help as well. And of course Elon and Xi could be interested to be amongst the potential multipliers too.)
Brilliant innovation!
Wonderful 🎉
Hydrofoils have been around for decades.. but still pretty nifty.
The Soviet union had hydrofoil back in the 1960s
Congrats to the Candela team. Really amazing to finally see it at this form factor which is truly inspiring for the future of urban transport in cities with waterways.
I’m following the company since you started, and I’m glad you’re not focusing on boat racing, as others do with similar tech in the meantime.
👏👏👏
Thank you!
How much swell and chop (different things) can it operate and foil in AND what is the draft at rest. Do the foils fold to reduce draft? I’m specifically talking a Sydney Harbour (where I work) water taxi. Perhaps you’ve seen the start of the Sydney- Hobart yacht race for example of conditions. What is the range?
Out of interest, will it be available as an owner operated day boat with luxury fitout, kitchen, lounges, rear cockpit etc…?
Cheers, Michael 🇦🇺
Very cool.
1:25 that tiny Blades? and those small Propellers? dude thats amazing 12 tons?
Ok this music is fucking dope! Also badass project
Congratulations to the whole team 👏 First class work. We wish you every success.
We need this in NYC - Could easily plug in vs the aging NY Waterway Fleet (NYC to Jersey City / Brooklyn)
The catamarans in NYC are only 5 years old...
Looking forward to viewing the Candella boats at the Seattle Boat Show #electricboats
Would be interesting to hear these boats' noise levels. Both as a passenger and as a resident on shore. Also, could the system be scaled up to carry as many passengers as a current commuter boat?
wonderful. love to see a live aboard cruising version with solar. Anchor for a couple of days then cruise 100 miles for free.
a long way from that type of MPG
great.
Congrats to the team!! This is amazing!
Thanks!
Would be perfect for Karlskrona archipelago.
Fully agree!!
Or Venice
12 tones and the water is flat, such a game changer.
Hydrofoil is a technology that is known for more than a century and hydrofoil boats were mass-produced in Soviet Union (more than 400 boats produced). They even serve regular passenger lines around St. Petersburg nowadays. So the technology itself is well-known, tried and understood. And yet it didn't gain any significant adoption for several reasons.
@CandelaSpeedBoat Which problems do you believe this model addresses better compared to its predecessors that you believe it will be successful as passenger boat?
Hydrofoils were in fashion during the 70s. Many were built 7n Norway and sold to South East Asia. As seen on James Bond. I wonder why they disappeared 🤔
I'm curious what the battery life is during regular service, and how long it takes to recharge it.
Algo parecido que já viajei, foram os aerobarcos, que faziam o trajeto, Rio x Niterói e faziam a distância em 1/3 do tempo das barcas. Más a viajem não era nada confortável, a pressa era inimiga do conforto! Cadeiras de fibra, cinto de segurança e pancadas parecidas com um ônibus passando em uma via esburacada sem amortecedores. kkkk. Depois vieram os Catamarãs, juntando o. útil ao agradável, velocidade do Aerobarcos com o conforto de uma barca, poltronas acolchoadas, vista panorâmica, ar refrigerado e muito mais. Top!
Subito la versione houseboat full hybrid, per avere coppia in fase di decollo, o solo endotermica.
need a smaller version for those canal men in venice😁
If you can beat my hometown hovercraft (Southsea to Ryde IOW) in speed and wind and weather tolerance then, and only then, are you onto a winner. 👍🏻👍🏻
1: They're made for completely different scenarios and 2; one is virtually silent whereas the other sounds like an aircraft...
This is an important combination of battery technology and hydrofoil technology. Neither are new and this is certainly not the first time it is fossil fuel free 0:59 (says the sailor). It is relatively delicate looking compared to the hydrofoils connecting the Greek Islands. Are there any plans to make one that can leave protected waters?
Very nice. But how it behaves in rough weather and in rough water conditions?
Have a look at this video: czcams.com/video/2i2Zf9WVlNY/video.html
Does the P-12 use 2 C-pods? Are they modified in any way?
Yes, they are bigger and each P-12 will have two C-POD!
Please sell it to Montenegro officials.
Tivat Bay. Kotor bay. Look it up. Porto Montenegro
Why no solar panels on the roof?
"completely free of fossil fuels" LOL, where does the electricity come from? and it still uses a lot!
Почему присутствует кабрирование аппарата на крыле ? Не рассматривался вами вопрос смещения крыла вперед ? Движение будет мореходное и остойчивое ...Винты ниже плоскости крыла показали себя лучше .... Успехов ...
By the way Thats a Catamarang?
Are hydrogen fuel cells a possible energy source to power these?
JAPAN❤GOOD🎉
Why would you not put some wings on that?
1.7 million euros. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
anyone know the range? wondering if the ferries could last across something like the Great Lakes here in the U.S.
40 NM in cruising speed of 25 knots. :)
id dont think it can handle ruff seas well
45 mioes whaker 11
Cost?
Nice, but do you also have a model that works on roads?
Yeah, a hydrofoil that digs into asphalt, concrete, dirt, and rock. Genius
The next-level response is, of course, to replace all roads with waterways. @@AG-sx9ws
rofl I think I'll take low rolling resistance@@chrisblum8358
global warming got ur back@@chrisblum8358
@@AG-sx9ws Ever hear of a hovercraft? I guess you haven't.
Birde deniz dalgalıyken deneyin
"Completely free of fossil fuels" lol
30 knots on a small passenger vessel??? US battleships could reach 50 knots while carrying cannons and personnel.
Need more coal fired power stations to charge the battery 😂😂😂😂😂
inland waters (rivers lakes) no need for this kind of transportation due to ability to utilize MANY land based vehicles (cars, buses, trains), we do need watercraft for sea/ocean. so lets build sea worthy
too bad it does not go in waves,

What a pity this ground-breaking boat concept is introduced with extremely loud "music"- garbage. The comments are hardly audible.
But how is it in rough water?
If hydrofoil craft were so great gas or oil powered hydrofoil craft would have taken over already, and many attempts have already been made. Efficiencies should apply no matter the power source.
Just another attempt to separate suckers from their money.
It’s better in rough water, at least under conditions where ferries are active. It’s just another place where cheap oil has limited innovation. You don’t need the efficiency on a ICE, but if the increase in efficiency makes an electric boat possible then things get interesting. The downside of hydrofoil craft is the deep draft, but for ferries on fixed routes it isn’t really an issue.
Let’s get a bunch of soft voiced Euro Geeks to make a promo video for a boat that can’t do anything well. Candela, it’s Euro-nonsense for what a waste of time and money.
This makes no sense. Having to wait long times to charge will kill transit cycle times. I guess the company's "solution" to that is for the client to just buy lots of extra boats to have on standby.
It makes a ton of sense. It takes an hour to charge and can go 50 nautical miles. It fits right into ferry usage patterns and offers a premium ride experience.
Stockholm already has a load of electric ferries. They work absolutely fine. This one will be more efficient.
Theoretically they could make a removable battery.
"ferries are by far the most polluting form of transportation there is" - huh??? that seems quite wrong....
The boat is shit! Ugly means not functional. Hire a decent designer.
definitely dont talk about billionaire jets being a pollutant. no no no just what the slaves do is important
wribg
Lovely design. The entire craft was made with and by petroleum products. It was charged using petroleum products. It was transported using petroleum products. In the end it will be recycled using petroleum products. Stop the deception! Call out the hypocrites. Support the truth. We must continue to make petroleum cleaner, more efficient and stop demonising it!
your comment is useless, it is just about trend,accept that the trend now is anything labelled green people would buy
Thanks Exxon, well said! Jackass!
Nonsense. You're making statements there you don't know are true at all!
Gonna delete my comment too?😂
what exactly is the deception? All the stuff mentioned above is true for all vessels, the difference somply is those tons and tons of fossiljuice used during its lifetime, why try to make a debate where there isn't one?
What happens to the passengers when the battery catches fire, since it must be that they are sitting right on top of a huge battery system. Sustainable?? If it takes 65K miles for an EV car to work off the dirty production of the batteries, how long will it take for this boat with the bigger battery?
Boat fires are always dangerous, electric or fossile. The hydrofoils makes the boat use much less energy compared to a regular boat. As the motors are located in the water (pods) there is also less transmission losses. Candela claims 95% energy savings compared to normal boat and estimates 0.1 kWh per km and passenger. A modern electric train is around half of that. For more there is a phD thesis about that on kth.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1681728/FULLTEXT01.pdf
in the thesis, the break-even (GWP) for the smaller C-8 boat is around 50-70 hours of use (This include emissions from battery manufacture). If its similar with the bigger p12, and the boat is used as shuttle 4 hours per day, the answer to your question is likely: Less than a month. (Boats tend to cunsume a s*itload of petrol) [added from the study . "To put the tons of
mitigated CO2-eqivalents into perspective, it only takes 1.5 months for the new scenario to breakeven with the manufacturing and end of life for the three P-12´s added to the fleet." ]
Old myths die hard. Batteries don't catch fire, most of the time. Petrol, on the other hand, often does. And yes, BEVs have a higher environmental *production* footprint than ICE cars. How is that relevant? If product A has a higher LIFETIME environmental footprint than product B, should you continue making product A just because product B has a higher initial footprint? That's not logical, unless you mean we should stop making and using vehicles in general.
Hi Steve, let's have the whole story shall we? The carbon cost difference between an EV and a Golf sized petrol car is 7000 miles. So just 6 months more driving and all things are equal. On a vehicle to vehicle basis petrol and diesel cars catch fire 32 times more often than an EV. There you go, facts are cool, you should try them.
Sounds more like you are thinking about how the offset was calculated 10 years ago. Fortunatley fossile cars in cars are about 60 times more likely to catch fire than electrical cars... Boats should be no different, thus an electric boat is about 60 times safer (and rising with newer even safer batteries) than petrol boats in a fire perspective. The Sun and the likes unfortunatley still keeps trying to spread misinformation..
Thumbs up for Candela, Polestar and Northvolt (and all other companies keeping up the progress of stopping the earths poles from melting)
