Defined by its iconic silhouette and historical significance, this 1987 Riva 50 Hp Superamerica stands as a testament to the design prowess of the Cantieri Riva shipyards. Measuring 14.39 meters in length, this classic flying bridge motor yacht was the pinnacle of the line, boasting a unique architectural layout conceived by architect Giorgio Barilani. This specific vessel has been subject to a meticulous revision in 2016, with further upgrades completed in 2020 to ensure it remains a pristine example of its class.

With a cruising speed of 24 knots and the capacity to reach 30 knots, this used boat offers a balanced and reliable ride. The hull is constructed from durable fiberglass, while the technical suite includes an updated bow thruster, hydraulic gangway, and a comprehensive suite of Raymarine navigation electronics, including a C120 GPS plotter and a 2023 VHF radio.

The vessel is equipped for extended stays with full Frigit air conditioning, two 2019 refrigerators, an icemaker, and a well-appointed galley.
