Defined by its timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship, this 1997 Riva Aquarius 54 remains a standout in the luxury yacht market. Measuring 17.38 meters in length with a 4.75-meter beam, this vessel provides a sophisticated platform for coastal cruising. The yacht has been maintained in excellent condition, benefiting from a comprehensive refit completed in 2023 that touched every aspect of the vessel.
The 2023 refit program was extensive, focusing on mechanical reliability and aesthetic refinement. The engine room received significant attention, including the overhaul of injectors, replacement of two turbines, service of heat exchangers, and the installation of a new self-adjusting shaft sealing system. Onboard systems were modernized with a new Tecnicomar 100 Lt/h watermaker with UV-A sterilization, an induction cooktop, new LED lighting throughout, and a complete electrical system revision. Navigation and handling are supported by new propellers and underwater stainless steel exhausts installed in 2022.
Aesthetically, the boat presents a pristine profile. All mahogany wood was stripped and refinished with Awlgrip, complemented by a new 40 mm stainless steel railing. The deck layout features a new cockpit awning with side and aft enclosures, along with new aft sunbathing upholstery. Interior comfort has been elevated through the replacement of all internal upholstery from blue Alcantara to ivory leather, new carpeting, and updated bedding. The yacht also includes a 2023-serviced Aermarine Espace 270 tender with a Selva 9.9 HO outboard engine.
With two cabins and three bathrooms, the layout is designed for comfort. The vessel is registered under the Italian flag with VAT paid. This Riva Aquarius 54 represents a turnkey opportunity for a buyer seeking a classic yacht that combines heritage design with modern mechanical standards.
