The Candela C-8 is unlike any other sport boat. Instead of making its way through the waves, the C-8 flies silently over the surface of the water. There is no need for a large internal combustion engine, because a pod motor optimized for hydrofoils and fully electric with dramatically improved efficiency performs reliably and provides sufficient thrust. Instead of creating huge waves, we have built a vehicle that leaves no trace. To do that, we've developed the best user interface ever in a boat, with over-the-air upgrades and all the amenities and comforts you'd expect from the world's most advanced sportboat. Take the wheel and experience the feel of a race car, thanks to instant feedback and fly-by-wire steering. Combined with the silent ride of the hydrofoil, you'll feel like you're on a flying carpet even in rough conditions - a superior and unique cruising experience at sea. The Candela C-POD is the most efficient and durable boat motor ever built. The direct-drive, submersible electric motors provide an absolutely silent ride and eliminate transmission losses. The Flight Controller uses a variety of sensors to measure the boat's position, speed and acceleration for a precise and stable hydrofoiling experience. Hydrofoils are the key to achieving long range at sea with an all-electric boat. Candela's electric hydrofoil system reduces water resistance by 80% compared to a planing hull boat with an internal combustion engine, providing a completely new driving experience. The hydrofoils are permanently and fully automatically adjusted by the "Flight Controller" on board to ensure a superbly stable ride in all weather conditions. The retractable C-FOIL system makes the C-8 a true no-compromise electric boat. In shallow water mode, the foils and Candela C-POD are protected by the hull. In extreme weather conditions that prevent foiling, the C-8 can be driven like a conventional boat, albeit then with reduced range.
