Project Manager

Candela’s ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil-fuel-free lakes and oceans. We strive to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships.
By combining sensors, computers, and advanced submerged hydrofoils, our electric craft flies above the water, reaching speeds and ranges previously attained only by fossil fuel powerboats.
After launching the Candela C-8, Europe’s currently best-selling electric boat, we are venturing into Commercial Vessels, Public Transport and passenger transfer with the revolutionary foiling Candela P-12 Shuttle.
