Maserati and Vita Power Unveil TRIDENTE Electric Powerboat

Maserati and Vita Power have collaborated to create TRIDENTE, a luxury all-electric powerboat/tender that serves the growing need for sustainability in the powered yachting industry and extends Maserati’s electrification strategy onto the water. The WSB team takes a closer look at this exciting partnership. 

Vita Power and Maserati share the same vision for mobility in the future, with no compromise on performance and elegance. Vita Power is a marine technology company founded to reduce the impact on the marine environment by developing an electric and integrated ecosystem of high-performance electric propulsion systems and fully electric boats for recreational and commercial applications, supported by a dedicated marine fast charging infrastructure.

The 10.5m zero emission powerboat is built for lake and coastal day cruising, with a peak power of 600HP and battery capacity of 252 kWh, delivering a cruising speed of 25 knots, a top speed of 40 knots, and recharging in under one hour.

The TRIDENTE seats 8 passengers in a cockpit configured for dining or acceleration. Passengers can relax on a sundeck alongside a bathing area with a shower and ladder for swimming. An enclosed cabin forward includes a day berth and WC.

The dayboat is made of carbon fibre by the craftsmen at Hodgdon Yachts, a US boatbuilder from Maine with a history of over 200 years in the marine industry,  specialising in superyacht tenders.

We welcome the direction of Vita Power and its partnership with Maserati, however, electrification comes with sustainability challenges of its own. Sourcing elements and materials to create a final electric battery product can be quite expensive. As we have observed in the automotive industry, the cost is generally much higher than that of its internal combustion engine counterpart. This cost is then passed on to the consumer, making the proposition an area of deliberation.
