Candela C-8 Simply a better experience
Simply a better experience
In order to make a truly compelling electric craft, we had to rethink boats.
Instead of punching its way through the waves, C-8 flies silently above the surface. Instead of fitting a bigger engine, we went for dramatically improved efficiency by developing a pod motor optimized for hydrofoils. Instead of creating huge swells, we made a craft that leaves no wake behind.
To this, we added the best user interface ever seen in a boat, over-the-air upgrades, and all the amenities and comfort you would expect from the world’s best leisure boat
Racing car meets flying carpet
Pull the wheel hard, and you’ll feel the driving sensation of a racing car, thanks to instant feedback, fly-by-wire steering. Combined with the hydrofoil’s silent, magic-carpet ride in rough conditions, the C-8 offers a superior experience at sea.
Tech
Candela C–POD
The Candela C-POD is the most efficient and longest-lasting boat motor ever built.
Submerged, direct-drive electric motors provide an absolutely silent ride while eliminating transmission losses.
The Candela C-POD is built to last a human lifetime, without maintenance.
Avionics
The Flight Controller uses different types of sensors to measure the boat’s position, speed, and acceleration in six degrees of freedom to create a precise and stable hydrofoiling experience.
After 10,000+ hours of simulations, design iterations, and sea trials, our software provides the safest and most thrilling boating experience.
Foil system
Hydrofoils are the key to a long all-electric range at sea.
Candela’s electric hydrofoil system reduces water friction by 80% compared to a planing boat and makes for a completely different – and better – ride.
The hydrofoils are constantly and automatically adjusted by the onboard Flight controller, to maintain a superbly stable ride in all weather conditions.
Comfort
Superior interior
The cabin in C-8 sleeps two adults and two children. The optional Premium Sound System with subwoofer and six speakers allows for a unique concert experience onboard the most silent electric craft ever made.
