Riva has unveiled a 27 foot day cruiser called the Riva Iseo, which is the smallest boat launched by the yacht maker since its famed Aquariva.

Available this summer, she’s the first Riva that can be bought with an optional hybrid engine boasting a Zero Emission Mode (ZEM) cruising mode. The system is particularly suitable for lakes or other waters where traditional petrol boating is forbidden.

The Riva Iseo is also reportedly the first yacht of its kind equipped with both infotainment and GPS charts built for the iPad. This software has been specifically designed for the vessel and features an owner’s manual, weather charts and iTunes, all delivered through a high quality sound system.

Mahogany is used extensively throughout the boat which is finished with a twenty coat varnish – ten through brushing, ten through spraying.

A large range of interior colour customisation is also available exclusively for the Riva Iseo.
