Where to buy Candela C-8:
Candela
Candela’s C-8 is revolutionizing the boating industry with hydrofoil technology. This electric boat literally flies over the water, reducing drag and energy consumption. It’s been tested and shown to be a reliable day cruiser.
The Candela C-8’s futuristic design and efficiency set a new benchmark for hydrofoil boats. The company’s track record–including the roll-out of its P12 hydrofoil ferry–demonstrates a safe and economical model to commercial and recreational markets.
We’re less enthused about the way the masts raise up into the boat when retracted. It looks cool, but it might be less practical for space. That’s compared to the Edorado platform, with hydrofoils that fold backwards. This latter design also has the benefit of safety in case of impact.
