Luxury car makers seem keen to diversify.

Many have put a toe in the water with luxury yachts of the power boat kind.

The latest contender comes from Maserati which has joined forces with Vita Power to create the all-electric Tridente.

Apparently, Vita Power and Maserati share the same vision for the mobility of 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 Tridente is a 10.5-metre zero emission powerboat built for lake and coastal day cruising, with peak power of 450kW and battery capacity of 252 kWh, delivering a cruising speed of 25 knots, a top speed of 40 knots, and recharging time of under 6o minutes.

Tridente can accommodate up to 10 people including driver in a cockpit which can be 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, finished to the highest creative standards by the craftsmen at Hodgdon Yachts, a US boat builder from Maine with a history of over 200 years of passion and excellence -- and a specialist in super yacht tenders.
