electric-powered reality.

Where Italian automotive luxury meets maritime innovation, the Maserati Tridente emerges as a groundbreaking fusion of heritage and future-forward design. This 10.5-meter masterpiece represents the legendary automaker’s first bold step into nautical territory, bringing together three powerhouses of excellence: Maserati’s iconic design language, Vita Power’s pioneering electric propulsion systems, and Hodgdon Yachts’ centuries-old mastery of seafaring craft.
The Tridente isn’t merely a boat—it’s a statement of Mediterranean sophistication reimagined for an eco-conscious era. Whether gliding across serene lakes or tracing the sun-drenched coastline of the Italian Riviera, this revolutionary vessel carries the unmistakable DNA of Maserati’s legendary style while charting a course toward sustainable luxury. It’s here that traditional craftsmanship meets zero-emission innovation, creating an entirely new category of maritime excellence.
Performance sets the Tridente apart: Twin electric motors deliver 600 horsepower of silent thrust, propelling this carbon fiber beauty to a thrilling top speed of 40 knots. But it’s at its sweet spot of 25 knots where the Tridente truly shines, offering a range of 43 nautical miles – more than enough to explore the entirety of Lake Como or make multiple trips between Porto Cervo’s exclusive marina and your anchored superyacht.The interior speaks the language of Italian luxury. The cockpit, accommodating up to ten guests, transforms effortlessly from a sophisticated dining space to an acceleration-ready configuration. A generous sundeck beckons for those perfect Mediterranean afternoons, while the bathing area, complete with shower and swimming ladder, makes impromptu dips irresistible. Forward, an enclosed cabin with day berth and WC provides a private retreat.
Maserati’s commitment to environmental consciousness doesn’t come at the expense of convenience. The 252 kWh battery system can be recharged in under an hour, thanks to Vita Power’s advanced DC fast-charging infrastructure, already established in prestigious locations from the French Riviera to San Francisco Bay. The Tridente’s 11,400-pound displacement – surprisingly light thanks to its full carbon fiber construction – ensures both efficiency and agility. The Konrad duoprop sterndrive system delivers precise handling that would make any Maserati road car proud, while the whisper-quiet operation allows conversation to flow as freely as the prosecco.
Starting at $2.7 million, the Tridente isn’t just a boat – it’s an investment in the future of luxury marine mobility. With only ten hulls planned for initial production, it offers the kind of exclusivity that befits its pedigree. Whether serving as a superyacht tender or making the grand entrance at Hotel Splendido’s dock in Portofino, the Tridente carries the weight of Maserati’s trident badge with distinctive grace.
A silent dawn cruise to Isola Bella, an afternoon sprint to Lake Como’s Villa d’Este, a sophisticated sunset soirée on board, all accompanied by nothing but the gentle lapping of Italian waters against the hull, one can’t help but imagine the possibilities. In the Tridente, Maserati hasn’t just built a boat – they’ve crafted a vision of maritime luxury for a new era, where performance, elegance, and environmental consciousness converge in perfect harmony. For those fortunate enough to secure one of these limited editions, the Tridente promises not just a means of water transportation, but an entirely new way to experience the storied waters of the Italian lakes and coastline.
