Swedish electric hydrofoil manufacturer Candela Boats is about to shine on the Australian stage, and its Australian dealer, Carbon Yachts, is proud to announce that Australia will welcome its first globally anticipated electric hydrofoil, the Candela C-8
The Candela C-8 will dock in Sydney in July this year, and will make its much-awaited Australian debut on the Grand Stage of the Sydney International Boat Show from 1 to 4 August.
The Candela C-8 is a groundbreaking innovation in the field of sustainable boating, with advanced technology and unrivalled performance. Equipped with state-of-the-art Polestar batteries, the C-8 offers a staggering range of 57 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 22 knots, with a top speed of 30 knots. This impressive range and speed is made possible by Candela's patented hydrofoil design, which reduces water friction and ensures an incredibly efficient and smooth ride.
Mary Bickley, Sales Manager at Carbon Yachts, is enthused: "We are very proud to be able to bring the Candela C-8 to Australia. This yacht is not only a symbol of the future of the industry, but also a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and a commitment to sustainability. We are confident that the C-8 will redefine the Australian yachting enthusiast experience while opening up a whole new chapter in the market." ”
Even more excitingly, Carbon Yachts also announced the good news of the upcoming rollout of the Seavolt fast charging infrastructure at D'Albora terminals across the country. This initiative will undoubtedly bring a convenient and fast charging experience to C-8 shipowners and other electric boat users, and further promote the widespread application of environmentally friendly maritime technology.
At the Sydney International Boat Show, attendees will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Candela C-8. Its innovative design features and outstanding performance will be unobstructed. In addition, Carbon Yachts will offer guests an exclusive daily test flight experience in Sydney Harbour, allowing every visitor to experience the future of this sustainable yacht.
It is worth mentioning that the Candela C-8 has won the European Yacht of the Year Award 2023 for its superior design and performance, and has become the best-selling electric leisure yacht in the world. It is undoubtedly the benchmark for innovation in the yachting industry, demonstrating the enormous potential of electric boats in terms of luxury, performance and sustainability.
The arrival of the Candela C-8 will breathe a fresh breath of life into the Australian yachting world and lead the industry towards a greener, smarter future. We look forward to the dazzling light of this electric hydrofoil in Sydney, illuminating the waters of Australia and the sustainable development of the yachting industry."
