Riva Aquarama Super used

Defined by its status as one of the most iconic designs in maritime history, this 1968 Riva Aquarama Super is a rare opportunity to own a legend. As one of only 30 units produced in its specific configuration for that model year, this vessel belongs to the second series, distinguished by a more pronounced V-hull designed for enhanced wave handling and a smoother cruising experience. This classic wooden boat has been meticulously maintained, with the hull recently stripped to bare wood and finished with 22 coats of varnish. The bilges have been repainted, ensuring the structural and aesthetic integrity of the compensato marino construction. The original Riva engines received comprehensive servicing in 2023, and the boat has been used only sporadically in fresh water, preserving its mechanical state. Measuring 8.45 meters in length with a beam of 2.62 meters, the boat provides a cockpit layout capable of accommodating up to 8 people. It offers a cruise speed of 35 knots and a maximum speed of 44 knots, delivering the performance expected of its pedigree. VAT is paid on this vessel, which is currently located in Italy. For those seeking a turn-key classic, this example provides the rare combination of historical significance and current technical readiness. Whether for display or light use, it remains a hallmark of Italian craftsmanship. This 1968 Riva Aquarama Super is available for viewings in Italy by appointment.
