Aqua superPower Launches Aqua 75 DC Fast Charger on Lake Garda, Pioneering Italy’s Electric Boating Future
At the esteemed Nautica Feltrinelli shipyard on Italy’s Lake Garda, Aqua superPower, the world’s top supplier of marinized dockside fast-charging infrastructure for electric boats, formally unveiled its Aqua 75 DC fast charger. This innovative installation, which is the first marine fast charger on the lake, lays the groundwork for a smooth corridor of electric boats across one of the most picturesque inland waterways in Europe.
In order to facilitate zero-emission cruising across Lake Garda and further Italy’s growing commitment to sustainable marine mobility, a second Aqua 75 DC fast charger is already planned for installation on the opposite eastern bank in Lazise.

Nautica Feltrinelli, a symbol of Italian ingenuity and craftsmanship since 1919, is situated in Gargnano on the western shores of Lake Garda. Mauro and Dino Feltrinelli, brothers, are currently in charge of the shipyard, which was established by the Feltrinelli family, whose maritime history dates back to the 17th century.
