Riva Ariston used

Defined by its status as the most iconic model designed by the Riva shipyard, this 1958 Riva Ariston serves as a masterpiece of wooden boat construction. Stretching 6.47 meters in length with a 2.16-meter beam, this vessel captures the spirit of mid-century maritime elegance. The hull is crafted from marine plywood with lamellar sides, reflecting the traditional artisanal methods that defined the first series of the Ariston line. This used boat is currently in excellent condition following a comprehensive restoration process. Recent maintenance includes the application of five coats of varnish, complete polishing of all chrome fittings, and a thorough inspection of the bottom screws. Its structural integrity has been preserved to meet the high standards expected of such a legendary classic motorboat. Performance remains a hallmark of this model, with a cruising speed of 28 knots and a maximum speed of 36 knots. The heart of the vessel is its original Chris-Craft engine, which matches the boat numbers; it has been completely overhauled and currently displays zero hours of operation. With a capacity for up to 6 people, it remains an ideal choice for those who value heritage and performance on the water. Offered for 155.000 EUR with VAT paid, this vessel is located in Italy.
