Viaggio’s premium Diamante 22S AT melds new tech, beaucoup features and a plush interior with a traditional approach. With a Suzuki 300, it roars to 30 mph in 6.9 seconds, with a top speed of 46 mph at 6,000 rpm. Fuel mileage? The Diamante’s most economical cruising speed comes at 23.5 mph, where it scores 2.9 mpg for a 153-mile range—or a weekend without refueling.
The Diamante employs an optional triple 27-inch-diameter pontoon tube setup, with spray rails on the outside tubes and lifting strakes on all three. A spray shield underneath keeps the water flowing smoothly. The performance package comes with SeaStar power steering. The Diamante takes full advantage, giving solid sure-footedness in afternoon lake chop and when crossing large wakes, as well as carving clean turns with a slight banking.
Viaggio upgraded its belowdecks superstructures last year. Thicker aluminum is used in tubes and splash guards, and heavier full C-channel crossmembers connect the tubes to the deck frame.
The perimeter employs Viaggio’s distinguishing feature, a 3-inch-tall extruded top rail, giving the boat a solid look. New for 2025, the front vision gate features a see-through section at the top, which is a great aid when docking.
The interior layout features seating fore and aft separated amidships by the console and captain’s chairs. The console is raised 3 inches off the deck for better visibility. The pillow-top interior features white vinyl with black accents and diamond-stitched inset cushions; the effect is rich and inviting. The bow loungers taper inward in the center to allow for easier movement around the boat without sacrificing room and comfort.
The helm station features a JL Audio system and RGB interior lighting. A Simrad NSX9 display combines with Viaggio’s electronic digital gauges to monitor the engine performance and boat functions.
Aft, the swingback lounge hugs the port side; it features a multiposition backrest that allows lying flat and sitting facing forward or aft. An extended stern deck is a perfect spot to prep for watersports, with an optional tow bar.
