P-12 Business:
Executive travel, redefined
Purpose-built for corporate and VIP travel, the P-12 Business delivers high-speed, zero-emission crossings with unmatched reliability, comfort, and operational efficiency, ensuring every journey is smooth, timely, and distinctly memorable for passengers.
The Candela P-12 Business is engineered for operators who need more than a fast connection between destinations. Designed for professional transport, it offers a dependable, high-comfort environment for up to 20 passengers, whether travelling between city centres, attending waterfront conferences, or hosting meetings on the move. Furthermore, the spacious cabin can be configured for focused work, group discussions, or discreet private travel, all within a stable, quiet, and vibration-free ride. Ultimately, from streamlined boarding to punctual arrivals, the P-12 Business is crafted to keep operations efficient, schedules precise, and passengers fully at ease, reflecting your brand’s professionalism.
Step inside the Business cabin and the first thing you notice is the silence, an absence of mechanical noise. So, passengers can work, converse, or relax as the vessel glides above the water’s surface. Large windows flood the cabin with light, while ergonomic seating ensures comfort throughout the journey.
The P-12 Business is ideal for VIP airport transfers, high-level corporate meetings in motion, or fast, direct connections between exclusive destinations. Therefore, it turns travel time into productive or truly restful, private time on board, ensuring passengers always arrive refreshed and ready.
The Business rides on Candela’s revolutionary P-12 hydrofoiling platform, lifting the hull above the waves to cut energy use by up to 80% versus conventional diesel vessels. Additionally, it offers a 40-nautical-mile range at 25 knots and, moreover, remains exceptionally stable, even in rougher waters.
With drastically reduced energy use, the P-12 Business offers major savings on operating costs while charging in about an hour via a standard DC fast charger. Moreover, remote monitoring enables predictive maintenance to maximise uptime. With zero emissions and minimal wake, it opens access to destinations off-limits to diesel vessels, while protecting shorelines and ensuring safe, comfortable passage.
The Candela P-12 Business delivers more than passengers. Above all, it delivers confidence; in your service, in your operations, and in your brand. Furthermore, designed for professional demands, it integrates cutting-edge hydrofoiling technology with a business-focused cabin that supports productivity, discretion, and comfort in equal measure. Its reliability, low operating costs, and environmental credentials make it not only a statement of intent but also a sound investment in the future of waterborne transport. By combining precision engineering with a deep understanding of operator needs, the P-12 Business ensures every journey reinforces your reputation for excellence.

The P-12 Business electric ferry handles rough water very well. Significant wave height HS 1 meter when foiling and HS 2 meters when not foiling. However, if the weather conditions are too rough, simply land, and the P-12 Business works very well as a normal planing catamaran.
Actually, the foils are made of carbon fiber which makes them extremely strong. Therefore, hitting smaller debris has little to no effect. This is while, hitting bigger objects – a log or rock for example – will result in the foil breaking at a designated breaking point. Also, the breaking point is positioned to maximize protection of the hull from impact.
