he Riva El‑Iseo marks a milestone in luxury electric boating—Riva’s first fully electric runabout, introduced in 2022 and now showroom-ready. It captures Riva’s timeless elegance in a modern, emission-free package  .
Harnessing a 250 kW (peaking at 300 kW) Parker GVM310 electric motor with a traditional stern‑drive setup, the El‑Iseo offers exhilarating acceleration and a commanding top speed of 40 knots, while cruising efficiently at around 25 knots. Powered by a sophisticated 150 kWh, 800‑volt lithium battery pack with dual‑block redundancy, it provides up to 10 hours of silent cruising in eco “Adagio” mode and supports fast charging from 20 % to 80 % in just 75 minutes .
Designed by Officina Italiana Design (Mauro Micheli & Sergio Beretta) in collaboration with Piero Ferrari and Ferretti’s engineers, the El‑Iseo blends classic Riva styling—24‑layer lacquered mahogany decks, stainless‑steel accents, and a fresh California Sky Blue hull with the signature aquamarine “beauty line”.
The helm features a dual‑screen digital dashboard with intuitive controls, allowing seamless switching between cruising modes—Adagio, Andante, and Allegro—while integrated autotrim and Zipwake ensure smooth, stable navigation. RINA Category B certification highlights both its seaworthiness and commitment to safety in a fully electric open‑boat .
The Riva El‑Iseo isn’t just an all‑electric vessel—it’s the next chapter in Riva’s legacy. It brings breathtaking speed, whisper‑quiet operation, and exquisite Italian styling, all wrapped into a sustainable, zero‑emissions package. Whether as a luxurious support tender, a lake cruiser, or a coastal statement piece, the El‑Iseo offers the pinnacle of elegant, eco‑conscious yachting.
