Wouldnโt it be nice to have a boat that glides smoothly over the water instead of bumping against every wave? Well, the Swedish company Candela has come up with the perfect solution for those who live near the water or love cruising the open sea. Their Candela C-7 is a hydrofoil electric boat that literally lifts above the waterโs surface.
By doing so, it reduces drag by up to 80%, allowing for a longer driving range and greater efficiency. Unlike traditional boats that slam and bounce on rough waters, the C-7 maintains a steady, smooth, and quiet ride. Its computer-controlled foil system makes the boat โflyโ silently above the waves.
The Candela C-7 can reach a cruising speed of 22 knots and a top speed of 30 knots, with a range of 50 nautical miles per single charge. The company claims this is three times the range of traditional patrol boats. To make transportation easier, the C-7 features retractable foils and a propulsion unit, allowing it to fit on a trailer just like a conventional boat.

Additionally, the C-7 is environmentally friendly. It produces zero emissions and minimal underwater noise, ensuring it doesnโt disturb marine life. Its carbon fiber body keeps the boat lightweight and efficient.
When it comes to technical specifications, the Candela C-7 is powered by a 55 kW motor and a 40 kWh lithium-ion NMC battery. It measures 7.70 meters in length, 2.40 meters in width, and weighs 1,300 kg. Buyers can also personalize the boat with options such as a sunbed, teak deck, underwater lighting, cruiser cover, and more.
