Electric Boat Maker Unveils Urban Water Taxi Aimed at Venice

Sweden’s Candela Speed Boat AB, which makes electric boats that fly above water, has unveiled a new craft it hopes will replace gas-guzzling vessels used by commercial operators in the tourism industry. The 28-foot (8.5-meter) P-8 Voyager unveiled Monday in Venice, Italy, is designed for six passengers and meant to be used as a water taxi or a tender boat for cruise ships.
