Candela

Candela is a Swedish technology company founded in 2014 by Gustav Hasselskog.

The company designs and builds electric hydrofoil boats and ferries, focusing on eliminating fossil fuels from water transport. Candela combines advanced hydrofoil technology with Scandinavian design to create vessels that are faster, more efficient, and zero-emission. The company offers two main categories of vessels: professional and leisure. The leisure segment includes the Candela C-7, an electric hydrofoil sports craft, and the Candela C-8, a production daycruiser designed for comfort and performance. In the professional category, the Candela P-12 is the world's first long-range electric hydrofoil ferry, while the Candela P-8 Voyager serves as a sustainable alternative to traditional water taxis. Candela also provides customer support and ongoing improvements based on usage data, ensuring efficient operation of their vessels. The company operates from Stockholm and is actively involved in transforming urban waterways for sustainable transport solutions.
