Safety Equipment in Candela C-8

The C-8 is equipped with built-in seat belts for all passengers and safety handles to hold on to while underway.

An emergency switch connected to a kill cord is located next to the steering wheel. The kill cord must be secured to the driver while underway. When pulled or released it will stop the boat.

In case of fire, a 2 kg portable fire extinguisher is located under the sunbed hatch. The storage space under the sunbed hatch can also be used for a life raft (not included).

The boat is equipped with a safety ladder, which is accessible from both the deck and the sea. The ladder can be combined with an optional swim platform.
