Meanwhile, the larger 30-seater P-12, which was announced in June 2022, promises to be the first"flying" ferry -- with a range of 60 nautical miles and speeds up to 60 kph , which the manufacturers say could beat rush hour traffic on routes with an alternative on wheels. Candela's"flying" boats were the brainchild of founder Gustav Hasselskog, who noticed that his quick ice cream runs while on vacation in the Swedish lakes was costing around 10 times the price of his family's ice creams in gas.
The boat begins sailing like any other, but -- just like a plane -- as it builds up speed, it begins to rise. The foils can also retract, meaning that the boats aren't at risk of marine growth, which could otherwise fur them up. However, he thought the boats could have potential outside the city center, such as on the way to the airport, further north in the lagoon, or connecting Venice to islands such as Burano and Pellestrina.However, he warned that maneuvering the boats at high speed around slower traffic could be difficult, and said that a rethink of the city's transport is in order before decisions are taken.
