Riva Ariston Super used

Experience the legacy of Italian craftsmanship with this 1968 Riva Ariston Super, a milestone in the history of wooden boat design. As the third series of this iconic model, it features the refined hull design engineered for a smoother ride, balancing elegance with performance. With a length of 6.8 meters and a 2.2-meter beam, this classic runabout achieves a cruise speed of 32 knots and a maximum speed of 42 knots. This specific vessel was subject to a complete restoration by a renowned shipyard in 2003. It retains its integrity and historic value, powered by the original matching-number Thermo Electron 320 HP engine. Because it has been used only sporadically in freshwater, the wood hull remains in excellent condition, reflecting the meticulous care taken by its owners. The cockpit is configured for both comfort and utility, featuring two rows of seating. The pilot seat is adjustable to allow for stand-up navigation, while the backrest of the forward seat can be lowered to create an expansive sunbathing area. The upholstery, finished in classic cream and lobster hues, complements the removable sunpad located on the engine cover. This used boat is available for 290.000 EUR, with VAT paid. Comprehensive historic certifications are included with the purchase, providing full provenance for the discerning collector. Detailed records regarding the restoration and maintenance are available upon request.
