Due for release in summer 2008, the Attivo is an exciting new concept in recreational inland boating. Environmentally friendly and demonstrating a combination style and low cost, The Attivo was created by car designer Keith Helfet, whose automotive credits include such classics as Jaguar’s XJ220 supercar and, more recently, the F-Type concept.
Propelling the Attivo is an electric outboard motor with power delivered by internal batteries and charging system. Its compact proportions are deceptive, providing space for up to six adults and even comfortable overnight accommodation in the form of a double bed.
"The Attivo concept is quite clever, actually," says Helfet. "The convertible top allows the Attivo much more amenity than its 3.5 meters might suggest. In it's compact, top down, form it's a sports vehicle. A catamaran-style twin-keel hull adds stability and efficiency to the craft. When the convertible top pops up, a sheltered space is created for stationary recreation."
In form, function, and material, the project has been a departure from convention. "The material is different from the fiberglass found on most boats," explains Keith. "The Attivo is made from fiberglass closer to that found in surfboards."
