We design and build electric hydrofoil craft that are faster, more efficient, and cleaner than anything else on the water. At Candela, we’re on a mission to eliminate fossil fuels from lakes and oceans. By combining aerospace-inspired technology with Scandinavian design, we’ve created vessels that don’t just match combustion boats, they outperform them.
To revolutionize marine transportation by building the world’s most efficient electric boats and ferries using hydrofoil technology, intelligent software, and clean propulsion.
A world where all marine transport is quiet, clean, and efficiently powered by renewable energy. Where waterways are protected, cities are less congested, and the ocean thrives.
To accelerate the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. The health of our planet can’t wait. A sustainable future isn’t a luxury; it’s a responsibility we must embrace today.
In 2014, our founder, Gustav Hasselskog, set out to answer a bold question: Why can’t electric boats be better than fossil-fuel ones?
That vision grew into Candela, a company powered by world-class talent in hydrodynamics, control theory, machine learning, structural engineering, and more. Today, our growing team of over 200 people from more than 20 nationalities continues to innovate from all over the world. What unites us? A deep belief in science, sustainability, and doing good for the planet and all its species.
