Riva Iseo Super

Riva Iseo  Super

Building on the success of the model Riva Iseo introduced in 2011, the new Riva Iseo Super is a refined runabout that  combines sophisticated technology and stylish features that breathe new life into the classic design. Echoing the innovative spirit that brought forth the Riva El-Iseo, the Iseo Super enhances the selection of open yachts under 9 meters, offering diverse engine options tailored to suit every owner’s preferences. These range from the serene allure of electric motors to the dynamic performance of internal combustion systems.  With its graceful length of 27 feet (8.24 m) and a beam of 2.5 m, the Riva Iseo Super showcases the distinctive characteristics that define the brand’s iconic legacy. Notable features include high-gloss striped mahogany meticulously treated with 24 layers of varnish, elegant steel detailing on the side grilles, and a serene aquamarine waterline. These elements are harmoniously complemented by several enhancements that elevate both comfort onboard and overall cruising performance.  The Iseo Super maintains the traditional sterndrive propulsion system, now incorporated with a hydraulic gearbox that enriches the engine's sound by minimising disruptive gear shifts. The standard model is equipped with a Volvo Penta D4-300A engine, a diesel unit that provides 300 HP (221 kW) at 3,500 rpm. This pairs with an Aquamatic DP-I duoprop sterndrive, allowing the Iseo to achieve a cruising speed of 33 knots and a top speed of 38 knots (preliminary data). Two optional gasoline engines are also available: the Volvo Penta V8 350 CE, offering 355 HP (261 kW) at 5,800 rpm with a high-performance DP-S duoprop sterndrive (cruising speed of 36 knots and top speed of 41 knots), and the Volvo Penta V8, delivering 305 HP (224 kW) at 5,800 rpm, also utilising the DP-S duoprop, which fulfills Lake Constance requirements, achieving a cruising speed of 33 knots and a top speed of 38 knots (preliminary data). Additionally, to ensure stability while underway, the Iseo Super features autotrim control for the sterndrive engine and a Zipwake interceptor for effective trim correction.  An innovative offering for the owners of this exceptional runabout is a custom boat cover inspired by automotive design, crafted to provide superior protection for the hull. This cover, made from double-layer waterproof technical material, features an exterior layer designed to shield against weather elements and a breathable wool inner layer that absorbs moisture, ensuring that the boat remains in optimal condition when moored.
