Riva Aquarama Special used

Defined by its iconic center-transom swim platform, this 1985 Riva Aquarama Special stands out as a unique piece of nautical history. The design not only enhances the boat's elegant profile but also provides streamlined access to the swim ladder. Measuring 8.78 meters in length overall with a 2.6-meter beam, this vessel retains the classic aesthetic that collectors seek, featuring third-series construction paired with period-correct second-series instrumentation, headlights, and deck hardware. Maintained with meticulous care, this used boat has exclusively operated in freshwater environments, specifically Lake Geneva and Lake Maggiore. With only 269 recorded engine hours and a history of being stored after every use, the mechanical condition is excellent. The vessel was first launched in 1987 and has never been used in saltwater, ensuring the integrity of the wooden hull. The serial number is approximately 750, confirming its place in the lineage of this legendary model. Significant restorative work has been completed to preserve its condition. In 2020, the hull sides received a professional application of high-gloss breathable varnish. In 2021, the maintenance continued with a complete overhaul of the underwater surfaces, including stripping, sanding, and repainting the antifouling, alongside a full refurbishment of the exhaust tubes and instrument cluster. The boat is currently kept on its own cradle, which also underwent professional refinishing. This Riva Aquarama Special is priced at 790.000 EUR. Please note that this is a fixed price and the vessel is intended for serious collectors who value authentic provenance. Commission fees are not included in the asking price.
