The other runabout tradition. If Riva embodies the Italian runabout, Hacker-Craft is its American counterpart: founded in 1908 by John Hacker in Michigan, the yard shaped the style of the great mahogany runabouts of the 1920s. The Triple Cockpit is its absolute signature – a unique design with three separate cockpits, offering intimacy and comfort to each group of passengers. About 9 metres long (30 feet), built from the 1920s through the 1980s, it embodies pre-war North American yachting.
Original architecture. Solid mahogany hull with artisanal finishes, powerful inboard motor – typically a Crusader 454 V8 – and unmistakable, timeless design. Reliable American mechanics, but thirsty.
The Lanéva conversion. Our approach to the Hacker-Craft Triple Cockpit follows the same philosophy as for the most prestigious Rivas: invisible integration, certified industrial-grade components, dashboard and period controls preserved, fully reversible. Electric motor of 150 to 220 kW depending on the power to substitute, battery pack of 80 to 120 kWh adapted to the cruising programme. The three-cockpit layout offers a real opportunity for discreet integration of the electronics.
On board, you will experience… a yachting experience with no real equivalent. The Triple Cockpit is already rare; an electric Triple Cockpit is unique. The three cockpits take on new meaning in the silence – conversation flows between passengers at 25 knots, intimacy is enhanced, and you sense moving through an artwork in motion.
