Riva is entering a new era of sustainable luxury with the launch of Riva El-Iseo, the company's all-electric yacht in the E-Luxury range.
Like all Riva creations, the new Riva El-Iseo was designed by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, in collaboration with the Strategic Products Committee headed by Piero Ferrari and the Engineering Department of the Ferretti Group.
“Riva’s great strength, right from the outset, has been its ability to rise to and win the design challenges faced over the years, by combining its craftsmanship and know-how with new technologies. Riva El-Iseo isn’t only the world’s most beautiful full-electric powerboat, but also proof that investing in research and development opens up new paths to sustainability and environmental awareness,” explained Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi. “Riva El-Iseo is also the first model in its segment to obtain Rina Category B certification, a further endorsement that Riva is at the forefront of yachting safety too.”
Riva El-Iseo is a 27-foot (8.40 m) runabout with a maximum beam of 2.5 m and elegant and sophisticated lines, just like the much-loved and versatile Iseo from which it inherited the hull design.
Riva El-Iseo retains the traditional stern-drive propulsion system and has a Parker GVM310 full-electric engine from Parker Hannifin, the world-leading motion and control technology multinational based in the US, offering unprecedented performance in terms of speed and acceleration. With a power output of 250 kW, peaking at 300 kW, the Parker GVM310 delivers a cruising speed of 25 knots and a self-limited top speed of 40 knots, with an acceleration curve significantly steeper than that of a similarly sized boat powered by an internal combustion engine.
The polished mahogany deck, stainless steel detailing, and refined sky fabric cushions showcase Riva's signature style, while the California Sky Blue hull color and aquamarine beauty line add a contemporary flair.
El-Iseo is fitted with a high-energy-density lithium battery pack supplied by Podium Advanced Technologies, a leading innovative engineering company specialised in batteries, automotive design and motorsport. More efficient, extremely light and up to 10 times longer-lasting than lead-acid technology, Riva El-Iseo’s 150 kWh, 800 V batteries have two charging modes, normal and fast, for charging from 20% to 80% in 75 minutes.
Unveiled to the world at the Monaco Yacht Club in 2022, the El-Iseo has undergone rigorous testing, including participation in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, reaffirming its status as a trailblazer in electric luxury boating.
