Described as “absolutely silent”, Candela’s latest 8.5m hydrofoil electric tender, the C-8, will reach rapid top speeds of 30 knots while remaining emissions-free.
The C-8 will push the same electric hydrofoiling technology seen in Candela’s first electric foiling boat, the C-7, to “the next level”, according to founder and chief executive Gustav Hasselskog.

The model is designed to compete with traditional speedboat models in the same size bracket but with 80% less energy consumption thanks to its hydrofoiling technology, according to the builder.
The best electric superyacht tenders
“We believe we will make several thousand Candela C-8’s over the coming years,” adds Hasselskog. “Once you have tried it, you realise that this is the way boats must look like in the future.”
The interior of the C-8
The tender’s hydrofoil system, which includes the company’s newly developed Candela C-POD direct-drive pod motor, will allow it to cruise for a range of 50 nautical miles on battery power at a speed of 22 knots, with top speeds of 30 knots.
The in-build flight controller meanwhile will automatically adjust the foils to keep the boat steady in adverse weather conditions.
