Features and Specifications
The P-12 Voyager is equipped with hydrofoils, allowing the vessel to rise above the water’s surface while in motion. This technology is intended to reduce drag, resulting in increased efficiency and a smoother ride. The vessel is powered by an electric propulsion system, which Candela states can achieve a range of up to 60 nautical miles per charge at a cruising speed of 22 knots.
The vessel measures 12 meters in length and can accommodate up to 12 passengers. The interior is designed with luxury in mind, featuring high-end materials and customizable seating arrangements. Candela has included large panoramic windows to enhance the onboard experience, offering expansive views for passengers.
Market Position and Intended Use
The P-12 Voyager is targeted at the premium segment of the water transport market, including private charters, resorts, and high-end shuttle services. According to Candela, the vessel’s electric propulsion and foiling technology are intended to minimize noise and emissions, aligning with growing demand for sustainable travel options.
The company has indicated that the P-12 Voyager is suitable for a range of applications, from luxury transfers to sightseeing tours. Candela’s CEO, Gustav Hasselskog, stated that the vessel “combines sustainability with a premium experience, setting a new standard for electric water travel.”
