The Candela C-8 is unlike any other recreational boat.

Instead of plowing through the waves, the C-8 glides silently over the water’s surface. There’s no need for a large combustion engine, because a fully electric pod motor—optimized for hydrofoils and featuring dramatically improved efficiency—performs reliably and provides ample thrust. Instead of creating huge waves, we’ve built a vehicle that leaves no wake.

To that end, we’ve developed the best user interface ever seen on a boat, complete with over-the-air updates and all the amenities and comforts you’d expect from the world’s most advanced sports boat.

Take the wheel and experience the thrill of driving a race car, thanks to instant feedback and fly-by-wire steering. Combined with the hydrofoil’s silent ride, you’ll feel as though you’re riding on a magic carpet—even in rough conditions—for a truly exceptional and unique experience at sea.

The Candela C-POD is the most efficient and durable boat motor ever built. Its direct-drive electric motors, located below the waterline, ensure a completely silent ride and eliminate transmission losses.

The flight controller uses a variety of sensors to measure the boat's position, speed, and acceleration, ensuring a precise and stable hydrofoiling experience.

Wings are the key to achieving a long range at sea with an all-electric boat.

Candela's electric hydrofoil system reduces water resistance by 80% compared to a planing boat with a combustion engine and delivers a completely new riding experience.

The hydrofoils are continuously and fully automatically adjusted by the onboard "flight controller" to ensure an exceptionally stable ride in all weather conditions.

The retractable C-FOIL system makes the C-8 a truly uncompromising electric boat. In shallow-water mode, the foils and the Candela C-POD are protected by the hull. In extreme weather conditions that prevent foiling, the C-8 can be operated like a conventional boat, albeit with a reduced range.
