Riva Ariston used

Defined by its graceful lines and historical significance, the 1961 Riva Ariston stands as a pinnacle of boat design. Carlo Riva considered this his most elegant creation, characterized by smooth curves that taper toward a low, narrow transom. With its polished mahogany decking, this 6.8-meter vessel remains one of the most recognizable motorboats ever built, capturing the essence of the classic Italian boating experience. This specific unit, hull number approximately 335, underwent a comprehensive refit between 2019 and 2020. The restoration process included a completely rebuilt hull bottom, refreshed sides, a new deck, updated upholstery, and polished chrome finishes. To ensure peak performance, the engine was fully overhauled to zero hours by a shipyard specializing in Riva vessels on Lake Maggiore. Measuring 2.16 meters in beam with a 0.8-meter draft, this runabout is built from premium wood. It comfortably accommodates up to 6 people, offering a spirited ride with a maximum speed of 32 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 22 knots. Currently located in Italy, the boat is in excellent condition and requires no additional work, making it a turn-key opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts of vintage marine engineering.
