Candela’s electric flying boats at Cannes Yachting Festival

Silent, emission-free, and flying above the waves at 30 knots. Candela C-7, the world’s first electric hydrofoil craft, will be exhibited at the Cannes Yacht Festival.

The Swedish tech company Candela is bringing their revolutionary flying electric boats to the Cannes Yacht Festival. The electric boat maker has established itself as the top electric boat manufacturer in Europe, leading electric boat sales with their first model, the Roadster of the seas: Candela C-7.

Thanks to computer-controlled hydrofoils, Candela’s craft soar above the water at high speeds and with greater range than any other electric craft on the market. The hydrofoils reduce energy consumption by 80% compared to conventional combustion engine boats and allow for better endurance, and a smoother ride, than any other electric craft on the market.

Hailed as the Tesla moment of the marine industry by Forbes magazine, Candela is now rapidly expanding its model program.

Recently, Candela launched the Candela C-8, a 28-foot, next-generation electric daycruiser equipped with the Candela C-POD, the company’s proprietary electric drive train, which is also the most efficient boat motor on the market.

The media is invited to stand PAN039 where the Candela C-7 is displayed in water.
