Candela C-7
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.
Versatility
Fully retractable for shallow water.
The foils and propulsion unit are retractable for trailing, storage and shallow water operation.

Questions?
Here are the top five.
What is the maximum passenger capacity?
Driver + 700kg.
Are the foils retractable? Can you drive in shallow water?
Yes, the foils are fully retractable by the push of a button. In shallow water mode, draft is 0,7 meters. Candela C-7 can be launched and stored on a custom float-on trailer.
What is the cost of driving a Candela C-7?
The C-7 is 95 percent cheaper to drive than a gas-powered boat! A full charge costs 5-7 €. A comparable fossil fuel bowrider would use fuel for 200 €.
What happens if you hit something in the water?
The foils are made from carbon fiber and are extremely strong, so hitting smaller debris will have little to no effect. Hitting a bigger object – a log or rock for example – will result in the foil breaking off at a designated point. Thus, the boat’s hull is spared from damage and buoyancy guaranteed.
How does Candela C-7 handle high waves and rough water?
Better than anything else you’ve driven. Candela C-7’s seakeeping capabilities are second to none. Instead of pounding the waves, we fly over them. There’s no slamming, no heaving or rolling. Waves up to 1,2 meter just pass under the hull.
In really rough conditions, Candela C-7 is like any other boat. You just reduce speed. However, the foils now act like a keel and give extra stability. See more on our YouTube channel.
