CANTIERI VIZIANELLO X NUVOLARI LENARD
WHEN INNOVATION MEETS TRADITION
An ecological revolution is sweeping through the canals of Venice, thanks to an unprecedented collaboration between Cantieri Vizianello, known for their innovation in the maritime industry, and the renowned yacht design firm Nuvolari Lenard.
At the heart of this transformation is the hybrid diesel-electric water taxi “Thunder,” which is winning over the hearts of Venetians and visitors alike, redefining mobility in the lagoon city.
The name “Thunder” could not be more fitting, given the impact this boat is having on the city.
This hybrid water taxi was designed by the renowned Nuvolari Lenard design studio and built by Cantieri Vizianello.
The city of Venice has acquired a fleet of these Vizianello boats, making them a central feature of the city’s public water transport system.
One of the most remarkable features of the Thunder taxi is its versatility.
These hybrid boats offer a quiet and comfortable sailing experience, thanks to their electric motor that minimizes both noise pollution and the wake generated by their movement.
Passengers can enjoy the tranquility of Venice’s canals while contributing to environmental conservation.
The Thunder boats are significantly reducing harmful gas emissions, improving air quality, and preserving the timeless beauty of Venice.
The project was presented by Moreno Vizianello, founder and CEO of Cantieri Vizianello, who has dedicated years to realizing this ecological vision for the city, investing in new technologies and advancing the environmental goals of the nautical industry. His work demonstrates that with determination, it can be done.
Nuvolari Lenard, on the other hand, is responsible for defining the perfect balance between modernity and tradition, skillfully interpreting the vision and turning it into reality— a project that is now forever changing the world of transportation in Venice.
The collaboration between the private and public sectors of these two companies has proven that it is possible to blend tradition with innovation, showing that functionality and uniqueness can be achieved without sacrificing beauty.
As Thunder sails through the Venetian canals, the future looks brighter than ever, marking the first point on the map of a new path dedicated to one of the world’s most captivating cities.
