Description
The Candela C‑8 represents a major advancement in the world of electric pleasure boats. Combining luxury, cutting-edge technology, and environmental respect, this fuel-free motorized sailboat embodies what the future of leisure vessels should be: efficient, silent, and sustainable.
100% electric and hydrofoil propulsion: the C‑8 uses hydrofoils (retractable foils) that allow it to "fly" above the water's surface at around 17 knots, radically reducing water resistance.
Silence, comfort of navigation & exceptional sea keeping: thanks to the foils, the waves are smoothed out, the engine noise is almost non-existent, and the sensations are those of gliding above the sea.
High autonomy & low operating cost: estimated range of approximately 57 nautical miles at cruising speed (≈ 22 knots) with a 69 kWh battery, fast charging, and very low maintenance costs.
Refined design & premium features: carbon fiber hull, well-appointed interior, options (T-Top, Hardtop, Day-Cruiser version), numerous living spaces on board (spacious cockpit, sunbathing area, forward cabin accommodating two adults + two children, bathroom).
Technology & connectivity: modern onboard touchscreen (≈ 15.4"), proprietary user interface, assisted piloting (flight controller adjusting the foils in real-time), remote control app, software updates.
Ecology & sustainability: significant reduction in emissions and noise pollution, reduced energy consumption (≈ 80% less than a similar conventional boat), no regular engine maintenance (the C-POD electric motor is designed for long hours of service without maintenance).
To experience almost silent navigation, without fuel smell, without vibrations — just the sensation of gliding above the surface.
For those who want to reduce their ecological footprint without sacrificing performance and comfort.
For long outings at sea: real autonomy ranges, fast charging, low operational cost (electricity, reduced maintenance).
For design & technology enthusiasts: modern decks, high-end finishes, connected user experience.
Finally, to invest in a vessel that promises high resale value, given the innovation it represents in the field of electric hydrofoil boats.
