The Canelo C8: A Revolutionary Electric Hydrofoil Boat

I'm on board the brand new Canelo C8, and it's an incredible experience. This 100 electric hydrofoil is a boat that feels like you're flying on a Magic Carpet Ride through the water. The tech on board is impressive, and I'm excited to take you through it.

The Canelo C8 is a really sustainable waterborne travel option. You're going to fly silently above the water and the waves with hydrofoils. The last model was the Canelo C7, which was made in 2019, and they've spent the past two years improving everything on this Cruiser. It's about 28 feet long, and the range gets you 50 plus miles - that's in a good comfort zone for most voters who don't typically go more than 50 miles when they take their boat out.

Let me give you a little tour of underneath the boat and how the hydrofoils work. I've become a bit of an expert today on how this all operates, and it's actually quite fascinating. Think of it - no different from how a Segway would balance you because it is constantly shifting and moving depending on how the waves are and how the environment is to keep this boat balanced and keep it flying on the water. The hydrofoils are an essential part of this system, and they work in tandem with the computer system and all the sensors to keep this baby steady.

When it comes to storing the boat, one thing to consider is that these aren't always sticking out - they just kind of tuck on in that little garage up there. The batteries are not much different than an electric vehicle, which makes sense given the technology used. If you're wondering how long it takes to charge, you're looking at two to two and a half hours to charge the whole thing.

Now, let's take a closer look at the engine. This is pretty cool - they built their own propulsion system, which is a very efficient Marine engine. That's unique because normally when you're dealing with a boat, you're buying their engine from someone like Yamaha. These guys have everything tucked into this - it's battery-powered, and it doesn't really need a cooling system because it's cooled by the water.

The top speed of the Canelo C8 is 30 knots, and this whole system is reducing water friction by 80 percent. It's really cracking the code for electric powered long-range high-speed travel at sea. Canelo is not just a boat maker - they're an all-around tech company. They make their own display, software, and even have a team of Swedish engineers at your beck and call if you need any help with this whatsoever.

One of the best things about this boat is that it's got everything you'd want when you're reaching like a boat like this - there's a toilet on board, a shower, and all sorts of amenities. And let's not forget the basic control buttons, which make it easy to navigate and use the boat. The price tag is $390,000, but trust me - this isn't just for the super rich. This tech is going to help your life too.

Canelo is introducing this technology in the concept of water taxis, starting with a 30-person all-electric water shuttle in Stockholm. They're looking at taking that tech to other municipalities, and you could be seeing this in New York or San Francisco later this year. So, what do you think of the Canelo C8? Let me know in the comments below deck - until next time, thanks for watching!
