Sarnico's iconic day-boat silhouette gets a silent electric powertrain — first deliveries confirmed for the Mediterranean season.
Riva has confirmed serial production of the El-Iseo, a fully electric evolution of its celebrated Iseo runabout. The 8.5-metre hull retains the mahogany-and-chrome signature while replacing the V8 with a 300 kW Parker electric drivetrain.
Range at cruise is quoted at 65 nautical miles, with a 40-minute DC fast-charge to 80%. Deliveries begin from the Sarnico yard in July.
The El-Iseo becomes the first fully electric model in the Ferretti Group's portfolio and signals the direction of travel for the wider Riva line.
