The all-electric Candela P-12 uses hydrofoils that lift it above the waves leading to a smooth journey without rocking. Advanced sensors further help by automatically adjust the balance of the 40ft boat, with the Swedish firm claiming it prevents seasickness. With capacity for 30 passengers, it has a range of nearly 70 miles at 30mph - over three times the distance of the English Channel. Candela told the Daily Mail it had received interest from private companies to use it for crossings. It is being trialled this year by the Swedish government in Stockholm to ferry commuters through its many archipelagos and waterways.

    We came home from France once on a hovercraft when there were 40ft waves in mid channel. Never again.

    I can't see this thing putting up with those conditions.
