FlyTahoe Launches First U.S. Electric Hydrofoiling Ferry on Lake Tahoe for Fast, Sustainable Cross-Lake Travel

FlyTahoe, in partnership with Candela, is introducing the first U.S.-based Candela P-12 electric hydrofoiling ferry on Lake Tahoe. This revolutionary vessel, already launched in Stockholm, marks a significant milestone in sustainable transportation, offering a fast, efficient, and eco-friendly way to travel across Lake Tahoe. The Candela P-12 will cut travel time by half, offering a quick 30-minute cross-lake connection and dramatically reducing emissions—a key factor in preserving Lake Tahoe's iconic blue waters.

With Lake Tahoe attracting over 15 million outdoor enthusiasts each year, road congestion has become a growing issue. FlyTahoe’s Candela P-12 provides the perfect solution, offering a zero-emission, high-speed alternative to the heavy traffic, especially during the busy ski season. The electric hydrofoil ferry can travel at speeds of 25 knots (around 30 mph), offering a smooth and quiet ride even in rough weather, thanks to its cutting-edge hydrofoil technology.

The Benefits of the Candela P-12 for Lake Tahoe Visitors and Locals:

Faster Travel: Connects Tahoe’s north and south shores in just 30 minutes, cutting down travel time compared to long car rides or bus routes that can take over two hours.

Year-Round Service: Operates all year, providing a reliable and eco-friendly transportation option for both skiers in winter and cyclists in summer.
Comfort & Innovation: The P-12’s hydrofoil wings lift it above the water, offering a smooth ride with no wakes or shoreline damage, making it gentle on the environment.

This electric ferry will also cater to skiers, cyclists, and outdoor adventurers, with ample space for bikes and ski gear, making it an ideal transport option for year-round visitors. Its operational efficiency, with up to 80% lower energy consumption compared to traditional vessels, makes it an attractive and cost-effective alternative to cars, helping alleviate Lake Tahoe traffic and reduce pollution.
