Candela C-8 Polestar edition

Candela is a Swedish manufacturer of premium electric boats. In our Co-Lab, we’ve created the Candela C-8 Polestar edition, a stunning foiling boat and proof that luxury electric performance belongs on both dry land and open water.

An expression of passion

Polestar and Candela have much in common. We share a passion for doing things our own way. We understand the significance of detail and technological innovation. And we believe in creating products that form experiences.

Design cues

The results of innovation should be presented with pride, and the Candela C-8 Polestar edition is characterised by subtly striking design cues that emphasise this. The sleek grey exterior colour is complimented with a lighter grey tone across interior areas. A specially designed seat upholstered in marine textile offers outstanding comfort and durability. And when the boat reaches high speed and lifts out of the water, computer guided hydrofoils in iconic Polestar gold are revealed, increasing range, reducing noise and literally elevating the experience.

More than a battery

Since 2022, Polestar has supplied charging componentry to Candela through the powered by Polestar initiative. In the C-8 Polestar edition, our battery once again delivers much more than power, enhancing the harmonious experience of travelling in a foiling boat.

Partners in thought leadership

The Candela C-8 Polestar edition is powered by the same battery you’ll find in the Standard range Single motor Polestar 2. Designed to offer optimal range and quiet performance, it’s already proven to be an outstanding power source on dry land. Although the Polestar / Candela relationship has been established through the supply of charging componentry, our partnership goes much deeper than this. Both companies believe that sustainable electric mobility, design and innovation should never be limited by imagination. The Candela C-8 Polestar edition is the first expression of a common ambition to be thought leaders in the transition to sustainable electric mobility. It’s also confirmation that making the desirable choice can also be the right choice.
