Riva Aquarama Special

 
The name Riva is synonymous with class, quality and the highest of European standards.  It is an object of desire and an expression of dreams. Nothing came near to matching the superb quality, style and prestige of the Riva.

Riva was introduced in 1962.   In 1971, the Riva Aquarama Special ended the traditional Italian mahogany runabouts.  There is no doubt that this is a much sought after boat. Second hand Aquaramas fetch from about $80,000 to well over $200,000.  The last ones off the production line sold for approx. $270,000.  The boat is 28foot (8.5m) in length; maximum beam is 8’6” (2.62m). She was powered with twin 220 hp engines that gave her a max speed of 40 knots.

Always innovating, always ahead of its time, and always exhibiting a style and quality beyond comparison, Riva triumphs at all the boat shows and on all the markets in the world. Kings and emperors, princes and sultans, actors, sportsmen and celebrities headed straight to Riva to choose their boats in the same way as they went to Rolls-Royce or Ferrari for their cars.

This Riva model features:  

- Scratch-built from official plans.

-
Plank-on-frame construction.  

-
Heartwood Honduras Mahogany.  This best mahogany type is used by real boat builders.

-
Realistic gauges, switches...

- Epoxy waterproof.
