Ariston

Defined by Carlo Riva as his most elegant design, this 1958 Riva Ariston represents a pinnacle of mid-century nautical craftsmanship. This specific unit is a rare collector's piece, being one of only 19 examples ever produced with the high-performance Cadillac 8V engine, delivering a substantial 275 HP. It stands as one of only seven vessels built in this specific configuration during that year. The hull construction utilizes premium materials, featuring plywood for the bottom and sides. The deck showcases a sophisticated layering technique, utilizing Gran Bassan for the outer layer and Sapeli mahogany for the inner structure. Measuring 6.47 meters in length with a beam of 2.16 meters, this used boat provides a nimble and thrilling ride with a maximum speed of 36 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 30 knots. Following a total restoration, the vessel has seen only two hours of operation under the current owner and has been strictly stored in dry, covered facilities. The cockpit layout is designed for both functionality and relaxation, featuring a double row of seating, a liftable pilot seat for stand-up navigation, and a bow seat backrest that lowers to create an expansive sunbathing area. This 1958 Riva Ariston is currently priced at 155.000 EUR. Please note that the price for this classic vessel has been reduced. Detailed documentation regarding the restoration process and additional high-resolution photography are available upon request.
