Italian boatmaker Riva demonstrates its expertise in motorboat design with the launch of the Riva Iseo Super.
New Riva Iseo Super Debuts with Traditional Charm and Modern Technology
The Ferretti Group, a renowned name in the world of boat building, has unveiled its latest creation – the Riva Iseo Super. This 27-foot runabout is a development of the Riva El-Iseo electric boat first introduced in 2011, blending traditional aesthetics with modern technology.
Designed by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta of Officina Italiana Design, the Riva Iseo Super boasts a sleek design that complies with the regulations governing watercraft on Lake Constance, a popular vacation spot bordering Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. It offers two different petrol engines from the Volvo Penta marine range, including a smaller 305hp V8 engine that meets the lake's regulations.
The Riva Iseo Super's exterior is a testament to classic Riva style, with the deck and stern platform finished with high-gloss mahogany. No less than 24 coats of varnish are required to give the wood its deep lustre and durability. The U-shaped sofa in the spacious cabin is upholstered with waterproof Sky fabric, which can be coordinated with the new hull color, Vulcan Grey. A manually operated bimini top is stowed behind the sofa, providing shade when needed.
The Riva Iseo Super's interior is equipped with a generous dinette and table, an electrically operated table, and onboard stabilisation systems for a smooth ride. The helm station is situated behind a low, curved windscreen for optimal visibility. Instrumentation in the boat can be digital, along with a digital Volvo Penta chartplotter for navigation.
For added convenience, Riva has introduced a new boat cover for the Iseo Super, using a material approach similar to a high-end automotive convertible for maximum breathability and weather protection. The Riva Iseo Super also features a sunpad on the stern above the engine room.
Performance-wise, the Riva Iseo Super can cruise at speeds of 36 knots with the diesel model and around 33 knots with the petrol versions. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a blend of style, comfort, and speed on the water.
The Riva Iseo Super is part of the Ferretti Group, a company known for combining a rich tradition of boat building with the latest technology. While the presentation of the Riva Iseo Super in Germany is not explicitly mentioned in the search results, it's clear that this boat is poised to make a splash in the world of luxury watercraft.
