Experience the future of speed on water – Candela C-8 press demos in Miami

Miami, Florida – April 27, 2025

While the roar of Formula 1 engines electrifies Miami this weekend, a quieter – but no less thrilling – revolution is underway on the water. Candela, the Swedish electric boat pioneer, is bringing its groundbreaking Candela C-8 to Miami for exclusive press demonstrations starting Wednesday.

With its sleek, hydrofoiling design, the Candela C-8 delivers speed, agility, and long range on the water– but with zero emissions and silent flight above the waves. Gliding over the water on carbon fiber foils, the C-8 combines performance with unmatched efficiency, offering a glimpse into the future of boating.

“Miami is the perfect backdrop for the C-8,” says Fred Mannerfelt, Head of US Sales at Candela. “The city’s passion for speed and innovation makes it the ideal place to showcase a vessel that redefines what boating can be. Just as Formula 1 cars push the limits on land, the C-8 is pushing the limits on water – blending cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and breathtaking performance.”

Capable of speeds up to 27 knots, the C-8 offers the thrill of racing, yet provides an effortlessly smooth ride thanks to its active hydrofoil system, which automatically adjusts for waves and chop. Piloting the C-8 feels less like driving a boat and more like flying across the surface of the water.

Journalists attending the Miami press demos will have the chance to experience firsthand Candela’s proprietary hydrofoil technology– an experience that’s both adrenaline-charged and whisper-quiet.

In a city where speed is everything this weekend, Candela invites the press to discover a new kind of race – not toward the finish line, but toward a cleaner, more thrilling future on the water.
