Our Technology
Revolutionary technology
At Candela, we develop electric motors, sensors, software, and hardware in-house, creating a fully optimized vessel and delivering a superior experience for both users and operators. In 2014, our founder Gustav Hasselskog gathered a team of experts to tackle the challenge of making electric boats that are better than fossil-fueled boats in terms of performance. The solution was hydrofoils - an invention decades old -enhanced with active stabilization.
Technology that powers a silent revolution at sea
At Candela, we design and manufacture the world’s first commercially available electric hydrofoil craft. By flying above the water’s surface and reducing friction, our boats achieve long range and high speeds, dramatically lowering operational costs compared to diesel-powered vessels. This makes the transition to sustainable fleets both feasible and attractive.
At the core of our technology is the actively stabilized, computer-controlled C-FOIL system, paired with the highly efficient direct-drive C-Pod motor family. Together with our full carbon fiber design, this groundbreaking innovation delivers performance never before seen in electric boats, while offering passengers a smoother experience in rough seas.
