Vita Power Lion
Vita Power · Electric · ultra luxury
From €900,000
Vita's first premium production electric day boat, first built at Hodgdon's Maine shipyard (the same yard that builds the carbon hull for the Maserati Tridente). Per MBY (2023): twin 150kW motors (300kW combined) driving a single Mercury Bravo sterndrive, 235kWh battery, top speed ~35 knots, cruising 90 minutes at 22 knots or ~10 hours at 6-7 knots. Believed to share its core platform with the Maserati Tridente collaboration (same ~10.5m length, similar cruise/top speed). Price converted from a £750,000 (ex VAT) starting price. DATA CONFLICT: a separate Robb Report source instead cites 590hp (~440kW) and a $1.5m base price — see the powertrain table note for detail; confirm current spec/pricing with Vita Power before publishing.

Published sources disagree on this boat, and the catalogue records the disagreement rather than picking a side. MBY (2023) lists twin 150 kW motors — 300 kW combined, driving a single Mercury Bravo sterndrive — a 235 kWh battery, a top speed of about 35 knots, a cruise range of 33 to 70 nm at 22 down to 7 knots, and a starting price of £750,000 excluding VAT (about €900,000 converted). A separate, undated Robb Report piece instead cites 590 hp (about 440 kW) combined and a $1.5 million base price, with battery capacity undisclosed. The gap could be a genuine increase since 2023, a different trim level, or a reporting error — treat neither price as current until the builder confirms one.
What a buyer should know
What 235 kWh actually buys
The Lion's specification reads like a conventional fast day boat — 10.67 metres, 300 kW through a single Mercury Bravo sterndrive, 35 knots — and that drivetrain choice looks deliberate: a familiar transmission most competent yards can service, with the novel electric hardware upstream of it. The figures that matter are the pair Vita publishes together, roughly 90 minutes at 22 knots or about ten hours at 6 to 7 knots. Speed and endurance are alternatives here, not companions, and a buyer who does not accept that trade will be disappointed inside a season.
Who it fits, and the caveats
Lake and sheltered-coastal owners with dependable shore power — Como, Geneva, the Côte d'Azur — and superyacht owners wanting a quiet day boat that returns to a charging berth each evening. The single cabin and single berth confirm that day use is the design intent; this is not a passage-maker, and nothing in the specification pretends otherwise.
At €900,000 the Lion asks premium money, though its own carbon-hulled sibling, the Maserati Tridente, is understood to share the core platform at a far higher price, which makes the Lion the rational half of that pair. Two things to verify before ordering: the performance figures above come from press coverage rather than an independent instrumented test, and early hulls were built at Hodgdon in Maine, so confirm where a current order would actually be constructed.
Written from the builder’s published specifications and the wider market, not from testing the boat ourselves. Always confirm figures with the manufacturer before committing.
