Lanéva Retrofit
Boat Engine Repowering

We repower all types of boats.

What is Retrofit?

Converting to Electric Motor Boats

Retrofit is the process of converting a combustion-powered boat into an electric-powered vessel.

This involves replacing the internal combustion engine and fuel tank with an electric motor, a battery pack, and all the necessary systems for electric propulsion—while preserving the original style of the boat

Riva Ariston Naïade: the first fully electric retrofit model

The Riva Ariston, launched in 1961, is one of the most iconic models from the Sarnico shipyard and a symbol of Italian elegance and craftsmanship. Conceived at a time when Carlo Riva elevated the brand to global renown, it embodies the glamorous lifestyle of the 1960s and stands as an object of desire for classic yachting enthusiasts. With its sleek lines, varnished mahogany, and gleaming chrome details, the Riva Ariston represents the artisanal excellence and passion for innovation that have defined Riva since its origins.

The electric retrofit carried out by Lanéva preserves this unique identity: every original element, from the cockpit to the dashboard, is conserved, and the transformation is carried out discreetly, without altering the silhouette or spirit of the boat. Thus, the retrofitted Riva Ariston remains a monument of nautical design while embracing a new era of sustainable mobility.
