In 2019, we introduced the Candela C-7 to prove that the future of boats depends on electric propulsion and actively stabilized hydrofoiling. Winning numerous awards, gaining great customer feedback, an making an international sales record, the C-7 surpassed our expectations. Now available only in limited numbers pre-owned, the C-7 is an icon among electric boats, that has inspired customers and competitors alike, worldwide.
Once you have experienced C-7,
it is hard to go back to a traditional petrol boat.
All controls, including ones for retracting the hydrofoils, are accessible on the 12-inch touchscreen.The driving experience and comfort were the prime focus areas when engineering the C-7, offering a quiet, smooth, and safe yet exciting ride.
The computer-assisted trim makes driving as easy as holding the steering wheel, even in side-wind and rough weather. C-7 is connected to the cloud, allowing for over-the-air updates and remote service to continuously optimize efficiency and performance.
