The opening of our first US test drive center in San Francisco

With over 100 orders for the new Candela C-8 daycruiser, we are now leading electric boat sales in Europe thanks to the unique combination of speed, silence, and long, all-electric range. However, the majority of new customers are from the US, making the American powerboat market a key target for Candela.

“We’re not just aiming at making the best electric boat. We’re making a vastly better boat than today’s conventional powerboats, hands down – combustion engine or electric. Thanks to our hydrofoil technology and our direct-drive C-POD motor, there’s no slamming, no noise, no fumes and very little maintenance. It basically takes away all the bad things with powerboats. Once you’ve tried a Candela, it’s very hard to go back to conventional boating,” says Tanguy de Lamotte, CEO of Candela US.

Starting on April 1^st, Candela will offer test rides out of their Candela San Francisco location in Sausalito. For media test drives, reach out to mikael.mahlberg@candela.com
