Thanks a lot for visiting us Micah, you are an excellent Candela pilot!
Next up. Tesla partnership
A beauty in beautiful environments. Godspeed getting to volume production!
Wow. First electric Chinese trucks, and now this great Candela electric boat! Your reviews are off the charts lately, Micah!
Candela is making love to the sea.
They caress each other tirelessly.
And the beautiful Love couple.
While watching these two from the shore, I think of writing a poem.
I want to write this great Love.
Congratulations to your entire team.
I wish you success.
Greetings from Turkey.🕊️💗🙏
Interesting boat and time to experience such technological advances
Wow I want one now. They should integrate solar panel Bimini top since most boats are taken out on nice sunny days.
To much weight (which is really crucial for flying boats) for nearly no energy benefit (compared to energy need for propulsion) from such a little possible surface.
But maybe it would integrate good into a marketing scheme.
@@MrCurt500 right - that boat he said was using 1kw per mile while cruising. 1kw of panels would cover most of the boat and only generate 8 to 10 miles of use per day.
@eppy epps lol some people like to have some sunlight on their boats. Keep in mind the 1kw power usage was only while at cruising speed not while accelerating. Is 20 miles really 50% more range? I missed a range stat in the video... thats pretty bad if true.
@eppy epps he is using strange terminology though and saying it is using 1 kilowatt per nautical mile. So if you have even 2500 watts of panels which are lucky to run 8 hours a day where they arent moving to point at the sun - youll get 20 miles of cruising range per sunny day. Realistically though.. he did mention while accelerating it was pulling 55 kilowatt hours.. so just doing that a few times will eat up a chunk of that. I also dont think you can fit 2.5kw of panels on a boat that small without interfering too much... plus the weight. and supports to strengthen for the weight.
THE c8 can be fitted with a solar protection soft top
Most epic tech, boat, concept - Candela really innovated here. Great coverage, and explanation w your video :) ! PS: What impressed me the most about the Candela is that the didn‘t go down the dead-end road of simply adding more batteries into the boat. But instead rethought and solved the ‚bottleneck‘. As you said: take the boat out of the water to increase range :)
super excited to see such boat.
I really like the design of their new C8 hydrofoil.
From moped thieves, now you’ll encounter somali pirates 🤣
Absolutely genius
this was cool af to watch 😍😍
Do one about X Shore electric boats!
WOW Awesome !!
My place is over the water in Tiburon Ca On the san francisco bay and I've seen this boat a few times
Great to see this..
Are the foils retractable? for loading/unloading from a trailer or shallow water operation.
yes they are
That is exactly my question also.
Perfect boat for coastal waters.
Wow!
Nice!
Now you need to try eFoiling or Wing Foiling!
Only about 4x the energy consumption of a Tesla, I wonder how much room for improvement there is in terms of efficiency.
Let's see it take on some big rollers!
Check out Candela C-7 in rougher conditions here: th-cam.com/video/m7I0pVpnytM/w-d-xo.html
Perfect boat to use for movies
Now if you can also tow solar panels.... then you can also continuously charge & save the batteries for night time.... oceanic crossings!?
That’s cool. What happens when I run over a crab pot float in the Chesapeake?
Makes me want to be a millionaire! Great video!
verrrrry cool. Would love one but price point way too high. I''l buy a used one in 10 years....
Are the hydrofoils more liable exposed to damages from floating debris or rubbish ?
Yes - you _really_ don't want to hit a floating log at speed.
compare with the gas boat engine, the battery will be more easier to maintain, but like what's the battery life and the cost to replace it?
can you get closer to the water? does it always fly, or can it float also?
also - does this thing support oars? so if the battery is every dead I can row back to shore?
I get the impression that 1 kWh per nautical mile is really efficient, possible because the boat uses hydrofoils to get around on water. I look forward to seeing Candela coming out with bigger electric hydrofoil boats made cheaper using mass production processes.
It's terribly high energy consumption compared to a car of similar weight, even if the car is moving much faster, but it's good for a boat of that size at that speed.
Sounds like you could go fast in No-Wake zones, too..
None of that video showed any significant cornering. It is possible to make anything but a very gentle arc while on the foils, or do you have to get in the water for that? And how do you deal with seaweed? Shallows?
Interesting that they chose not to answer that question.
I guess that means that this boat can only "fly" in straight lines from A to B.
You can, you just need to flip it to sport mode and the foils respond differently, flexing more for harder cornering. I imagine you can't go quite as extreme as a V hull, but you definitely can. I was only on the boat for a few hours and in a busy waterway, so I didn't go too nuts with the hard turns.
When is the VW version appearing priced for ordinary people?
In 10 years at the earliest.
So how is sking behind it?
If they can get the price down that would be a huge hit.
Do you get seasick on boats with gyro stabilizers too?
where's the electric grill microwave deep fryer freezer air conditioner toaster oven tv phone charging station lights and outlets and sound system , all pontoon boats should have that electric setup
mention cost
Can the foils be used on a gas boat? Could save a lot of gas at a lower price (¿?)
Yes they can and they are more common than you might think. Hydrofoils in any form are reasonably common especially in high speed vessels and are used for speed and efficiency. Most ships with hydrofoils don’t lift out of the water, mostly because hydrofoils have some disadvantages which limits how much it can be used.
Looked & sounded so awesome for water skiing... until you described it stopping and having to get going again through big wakes.
Still a cool boat but until it can tow a water skier through a wake it isn't for me.
It surely can. The wakes we went through were huge, so any 25 foot boat would have slowed down for them. In a foiling boat, you have a better chance to make it through, though!
A dream, not a reality.
Any chance they would make one for two people under 50K usd?
Who knows?:)
@@sharonbraselton3135 Link?
Why don't we make water-land operation dual mode car?
They don't sell, too many compromises.
Are these designed for salt water? I'm a huge supporter of the environment but accidents happen. What happens if by chance the boat sinks, the damage the batteries will do to our waters.
We have 30 boats flying in 10 countries, from LA to Stockholm.
Fossil fuel boats spill oil byproducts and coolant into the water even under normal conditions. Countries dump waste into the ocean far worse than the potential for one battery powered boat. If a normal boat gets damaged, cleanup costs for the petrol products are huge. This design has none of those hazards. Conclusion? Electric boats are much cleaner than ICE boats!
bro you gotta compare the efficiency to a boat on plane, not to a 5 knot boat.
Did you go out and buy one for $200.00??, probably not! Did you show people how to Trailer it?, No!, Can it be trailered?, probably not!! Pretty neat though!
This boat has limited practical uses.
FFS mate, we all know what hydrofoils are, they've been around forever, you're being a complete tool pretending it's something new and that you are "flying". The reason most boats don't have them, is they are useless, or even dangerous, when there's any decent swell; they are sensitive to impacts with floating objects and marine life; and they are more expensive and complex to build and maintain. They peaked in popularity in the 60's and 70's, but have declined since for those reasons and more.
Yes, electric boats with their limited range battery issues might lead to a temporary, niche, revitalisation of them, but they will disappear again when the battery problem is solved.

A *sailboat* is the most efficient boat in the world.
So there is that.
At high speeds (20+ knots), the Candela C-7 is the most efficient boat in the world. And also has the longest range of any electric boat out there, thanks to the hydrofoils. At really slow speeds, displacement-type boats like most sailboats are really effective.
@@CandelaSpeedBoat
Pretty sure a hydrofoil multihull sailboat is even more efficient. And even faster. And wind is free.
Until Candela comes out with a solar powered electric boat, maybe.
