P-8 Voyager
Meet the P-8 Voyager, the first zero impact craft for long-range exploration. Engineered to go where other electric boats can’t, without leaving a trace behind. Thanks to active hydrofoils, the P-8 Voyager combines silence, performance, and superior range into a design that brings a better experience for passengers, while leaving a minimal footprint.
“The P-8 Voyager was designed to take you and your passengers to the places you love on the water, without leaving a trace”
Gustav Hasselskog – CEO & Founder

Details
All-weather capability
On hot summer days, the sunroof slides back for a truly open-yacht vibe. Optional air conditioning, or heating, ensures cabin comfort in all temperatures.
Cabin
Elevated experience
Designed to be the quietest on the market, the P-8 Voyager cabin provides a peaceful environment for 6 passengers. Even in rough conditions and at high speeds.
40 nautical miles
40 min. charging time
Candela P-8 has a range of 40 nautical miles per charge traveling at 22 knots.
The achieved range is about 4 times longer than the best electric boats currently on the market.

Always
Connected
Investing in a Candela means easy ownership – and 24/7 service if you need it. The Candela C-POD needs far less maintenance than gasoline outboards. Through remote diagnostics, our service technicians are there for you, anywhere on the planet.
We believe in a seamless machine-human interaction, and pride ourselves on delivering the best user experience of any boat. Over-the-air updates keep your P-8 Voyager up to date over the craft’s lifetime.
Sustainability
Reducing emissions by 99% locally.
P-8 Voyager is a long-range, all-electric craft that travels silently above the surface. No emissions. No sound pollution or disturbance of marine life.
We designed it to be the most efficient boat ever built. At 20 knots, the energy usage per nautical mile is just 1.5 kWh. To put that into perspective, that’s the energy content of 0,1 liter of gasoline.

Candela C-8 vs planing boat in waves
We tested wave management in the Candela C-8 alongside a conventional motorboat to see the difference.

Questions?
Here are the top five.
What is the maximum passenger capacity?
6 passengers, plus driver.
Are the foils retractable? Can you drive in shallow water?
Yes, the foils are fully retractable by the push of a button. In shallow water mode, draft is 0,7 meters. Candela P-8 Voyager can be launched and stored on a custom float-on trailer.
What is the range and speed?
The range of 40 nautical miles (at cruise speed) can vary, depending on load and winds, but this is a realistic estimate based on a loaded boat encountering some headwind. Cruise speed is 22 knots, top speed 27.
What wave heights can the P-8 Voyager tackle?
The P-8 can foil through 1.2 m high waves, for example choppy wind waves or larger wakes from other vessels. If waves are higher, the P-8 can be driven as a conventional planing boat, albeit with reduced range. In slow-speed displacement mode with foils kept fully extended, rolling is greatly reduced as the foils act like “keels”, stabilizing the boat.
Will the cabin be air-conditioned?
Yes, as an option, and there will be an option for a heater as well.
