Maintaining the timeless silhouette of a true classic, this 1996 Riva 54 Aquarius represents a unique opportunity to own a meticulously updated vessel. Spanning 17.35 meters in length with a 4.75-meter beam, this fast commuter balances performance with iconic Italian heritage. The current condition is excellent, reflecting extensive recent investments aimed at both reliability and comfort without compromising the original Riva design DNA.
The mechanical heart of this used boat was completely renewed in 2020 through a major refit. The twin MAN engines, each delivering 820 HP, were removed and rebuilt to zero-hour status, accompanied by a professional repainting of the engine room. Performance remains a core strength, with a cruising speed of 22 knots and a maximum speed of 33 knots, supported by a 2,500-liter fuel capacity. A new 13.5 KW Kohler generator was also installed to ensure robust power management during extended stays.
Attention to detail is evident across the deck and interior spaces. The exterior benefits from a full hull strip-down and sanding, complemented by a new teak deck, a new passerelle grate, and an updated barbecue station. Practical enhancements include the addition of underwater lights and a new searchlight. Inside, the two-cabin, two-bath layout has been revitalized with new interior upholstery, a new cooktop, a new refrigerator, and a comprehensive update of the electrical system, including new audio equipment and speakers.
Navigation and control are handled via a fully updated helm station. The electronics suite now features a new GPS, VHF, autopilot, compass, and chain counter, alongside a new control panel with updated switchgear. This vessel is currently located in Campania, Italy, and is offered at 350.000 EUR with VAT paid status.
