Overview

  • The 30.5-foot Lucietta was co-designed by Milan’s Nauta Yachts and Murano builder Cantiere Serenella with input from Venetian water taxi drivers to meet strict canal, bridge and mooring dimensions.
  • Its carbon-fiber hull and recycled Murano glass cabin trim showcase a heritage-driven approach to sustainable marine design.
  • A 200 kW electric motor powered by a 180 kWh battery pack delivers up to 30 knots and supports a full day of cruising at regulated lagoon speeds without recharging.
  • Advanced onboard systems include remote battery management with temperature-controlled charging, LED navigation lights, USB ports and a Garmin display for operator efficiency.
  • Following its Venice Boat Show premiere, Lucietta will be showcased at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, with no public production timeline announced.
