Price on request
Request a quoteThe SQ240i is a 7.38-metre electric day boat from Capoforte, a brand of the Italian builder Aschenez Srl in Borgia, Calabria, and part of the yard's electric range. It seats up to ten and is driven by a 50 kW motor. Capoforte publishes the battery only as a maximum of 4x200A at 48V LiFePO4, in amp-hours and volts rather than kilowatt-hours, and does not publish speed, range or price for the model.

What a buyer should know
What the published data does and does not tell you
The SQ240i is a ten-person Italian day boat with a 50 kW motor, and beyond that the picture is thin. The battery is quoted only in amp-hours at 48 volts. That is a legitimate way to specify a 48V system, but it makes cross-shopping difficult, because almost every competitor states kilowatt-hours. A buyer should ask Capoforte directly for the usable kWh figure and for the speed and range curve, not the top speed alone.
Where it sits
A 7.4-metre, ten-person open boat on a 48V system is a different proposition from the high-voltage sport boats in the same length band. Forty-eight volt architectures are typically chosen for reliability, simpler servicing and lower installed cost, and they generally suit displacement and low-planing use rather than sustained fast running. Treat the SQ240i as a social day boat for sheltered water, not a performance alternative.
The honest caveat
No published speed, no published range, no published price, and a battery figure a buyer has to convert themselves. Capoforte's parent is an established Italian yard, so this reads as a listing that has not been fully populated rather than a shaky product. But it is not a boat anyone can compare on paper today, and no serious enquiry should proceed without those numbers in writing.
Written from the builder’s published specifications and the wider market, not from testing the boat ourselves. Always confirm figures with the manufacturer before committing.
