Candela P-12 Shuttle Electric Ferry

The Candela P-12 Shuttle is the world’s first high-speed electric hydrofoil ferry, designed for sustainable urban commuting. With a 40-nautical-mile range, 25-knot cruising speed, and seating for 30 passengers, it delivers quiet, zero-emission transport while dramatically cutting operating costs and environmental impact.

The Candela P-12 Shuttle Electric Ferry redefines the future of waterborne transportation with advanced hydrofoil technology, zero-emission propulsion, and exceptional range at high speed. Designed for urban and intercity routes, the P-12 Shuttle offers operators a sustainable, profitable, and comfortable alternative to traditional diesel ferries.

Unlike conventional vessels that generate massive wakes and require slow travel through urban waterways, the Candela P-12 glides silently above the waves, eliminating drag and wake creation. Its innovative hydrofoil system reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, enabling a range of 40 nautical miles at a service speed of 25 knots.

Built from lightweight carbon fiber and powered by dual 110 kW Candela C-Pod motors, the P-12 Shuttle offers smooth, stable, and quiet rides even in rough water. Passengers enjoy a refined, vibration-free experience, supported by Candela’s Flight Controller technology that automatically adjusts foil position for safety and comfort.

Charging is fast and efficient, requiring less than an hour with standard DC infrastructure; no specialized marine charging systems needed. With predictive maintenance and an electric drivetrain, operating costs are significantly reduced, making the P-12 Shuttle the most cost-effective and sustainable ferry on the market.

Designed for rapid turnarounds, the P-12 Shuttle transitions from foiling to docking mode in just two minutes. Its adaptive bow ramp accommodates varying dock heights (0.3–1.9 meters), allowing easy integration with existing facilities. A wide ramp enables two-way passenger flow, while thrust-vectoring propulsion ensures precise maneuverability for safe docking in tight conditions.
