Candela is a Swedish manufacturer of electric hydrofoiling boats and ferries, on a mission to decarbonize waterborne transportation. Its proprietary computer-controlled hydrofoil system, C-Pod electric propulsion, and C-Foil technology lift the hull clear of the water to cut energy consumption by roughly 80% versus conventional planing hulls, enabling silent, long-range, zero-emission travel. Products span leisure craft (the C-8 and C-7 dayboats) and professional vessels (the P-12 electric ferry and shuttle for public and commercial transport). Backed by EQT Ventures, Candela is a hardware and mobility company; as of this profile it publishes no public developer API, SDKs, or API documentation. This record captures its public web presence and domain security posture.
