It seems Maserati wasn't content with just electrifying our roads. They've gone and dipped their trident into the waters of Lake Maggiore with the all-electric TRIDENTE speedboat. Yes, a proper speedboat! And this ain't no dinghy you take to the lake on weekends; this is pure Italian opulence on water.

Let me tell you, this thing is a sight to behold. A classically-shaped sleek 34-foot vessel, gleaming in the sunshine with that iconic Maserati trident emblazoned on the bow. It's the kind of boat that turns heads even in a marina full of superyachts. While the press materials kept going on about "sustainable luxury" and "seamless integration of technology," my mind was already picturing myself cruising along the Amalfi Coast, Aperol Spritz in hand.

Are you sitting down? This beauty starts at a cool $2.86 million. That’s already $260,000 more than when we first heard of the TRIDENTE. Can you see a pattern emerging? Yes, for the price of a nice villa in Tuscany, you could have this floating masterpiece. Who needs a villa when you have a 252 kWh battery pack and twin electric motors that deliver a combined 600 horsepower? That's enough grunt to hit a top speed of 46 mph, which, trust me, feels like warp speed when you're skimming across the waves.

Driving this thing promises to be an experience unlike any other. At low speeds, it's whisper-quiet, gliding effortlessly across the water. But push on, and you'll feel an instant surge of acceleration as the electric motors kick in. Being launched from a slingshot comes to mind, only with a much better view.

In total there's room for eight passengers, a rear sundeck is perfect for sunbathing (or dancing, if that's your thing), and even a small cabin with a bed and sink, should you decide to spend the night on board. Whichever way you look, whichever surface you touch - pure luxury.

Is this the most practical boat on the market? Probably not. But honestly, who cares about practicality when you can have this much style and performance? It's the kind of boat that makes you forget about your worries and just enjoy the moment. 

So, the Maserati TRIDENTE – a speedboat that's as extravagant as it is electrifying. If you're looking for a way to make a splash this summer, look no further. Just remember, if you buy one, I expect an invitation to your next boat party.
