Candela announced that its first electric hydrofoil, the Candela P-12, will be serving the planned water network in NEOM, the sustainable development project in Saudi Arabia.
Candela provides sustainable electric hydrofoils that offer shorter travel times and greater comfort.
Eight P-12 boats will help passengers navigate a new tourist destination in Saudi Arabia.
The P-12 is the fourth model in Candela’s fleet, launched in November 2023.
The P-12 will also be a part of Stockholm’s public transportation system this fall.
The P-12 is a 39-foot-long, zero-emission vessel that “flies” over the waves using computer-guided hydrofoils.
The P-12 is designed to create emission-free water transport systems that offer significant improvements over traditional water commutes.
The agreement with NEOM is significant as it is the largest order Candela has received to date and is further proof that tourism is embracing emission-free transport.
The announcement comes five months after Candela raised €25 million in funding from Groupe Beneteau.
