To make a compelling electric craft, we had to re-think the boat.
Instead of pushing through waves, C-8 glides in silence over the water’s surface. We made a motor, the Candela C-Pod, perfected for hydrofoiling, deviating from the trend of larger engines in leisure boating. By combining innovation in electric propulsion with hydrofoiling, the C-8 leaves no wake behind.
The most advanced electric boat battery pack ever comes from… a car. Candela C-8 Polestar Powered uses the same 69 kWh pack as the Polestar 2 electric performance fastback.
Polestar batteries also bring DC charging to the table, which means C-8 now combines the longest electric range with the fastest charging times. The result is the longest-range electric boat on the market, by a factor of two.
Electric hydrofoiling makes the C-8 the only electric boat with real range at speed.
Racing car meets flying carpet.
Pull the wheel hard, and you’ll feel the driving sensation of a racing car, thanks to instant feedback, fly-by-wire steering. Combined with the hydrofoil’s silent, magic-carpet ride in rough conditions, the C-8 offers a superior experience at sea.
Why settle for a boat that isn’t fit for purpose? C-8 has you covered. Pick between two available variants to meet your needs and suit your lifestyle.
A completely new type of boat necessitates a revolutionary take on a century old concept; the electric motor.
