Candela C-8: The Future of Electric Hydrofoil Boating

The Candela C-8 is a groundbreaking 28-foot electric hydrofoil boat that combines cutting-edge technology with premium comfort. Designed for up to 6 guests (5 passengers + 1 driver), this vessel offers the longest range and highest cruising speed among all electric boats in serial production. With its carbon-fibre hull, C-Pod motor, and 69kWh lithium-ion battery pack powered by Polestar, the C-8 achieves a cruising speed of 22 knots and a top speed of 27 knots.

At just 1,750 kg, the C-8 is remarkably lightweight, enabling it to 'take flight' at around 14 knots and glide smoothly over the water with minimal wake and noise. This electric hydrofoil design not only enhances performance but also reduces power consumption, making it one of the most efficient electric boats on the market.

Unmatched Range and Fast Charging

The Candela C-8 delivers an estimated 57 nautical miles at cruising speed, allowing you to enjoy more than two hours of silent, emission-free boating without wake. In limp-home mode, it can add an extra 3 NM at 4 knots, ensuring you always reach your destination safely.

Charging is incredibly fast: with a DC charger, the C-8 recharges from 10% to 80% in under 30 minutes, making it the quickest-charging boat on the market. For dock charging via a three-phase outlet, a full charge takes approximately 5 hours.
