Candela’s new P-12 Business electric ferry is luxury soaring just above the waves

Published: Apr 2nd 2026 12:00am on Electrek

Swedish electric boat maker Candela has just unveiled its latest vessel, the P-12 Business, and it’s aiming to do something that’s long felt overdue: make getting to your destination on the water just as enjoyable as the destination itself.

And if you’ve ever stepped off a smooth flight only to be tossed into a loud, wave-slamming speedboat to reach the last leg of your coastal adventure, you’ll immediately understand the problem Candela is trying to solve.
