Ariston

Defined by Carlo Riva as his most elegant creation, this 1961 Riva Ariston represents the absolute height of the Dolce Vita aesthetic. Measuring 6.8 meters in length with a beam of 2.16 meters, this classic wooden boat displays the iconic, smooth lines that taper gracefully toward the stern. The hull is finished in polished, uninterrupted mahogany decking that remains one of the most recognizable designs in nautical history. This specific vessel, with hull number approximately 335, underwent a comprehensive refit between 2019 and 2020. Every major element was addressed to ensure the boat remains in excellent condition: the bottom was rebuilt, the sides were refinished, the deck is brand new, and all chrome fixtures were replaced. Furthermore, the engine was fully overhauled by a shipyard specializing in the Riva brand on Lake Maggiore, returning it to zero-hour status. With a maximum speed of 32 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 22 knots, this runabout is designed for performance and style. It is certified for up to 6 people, offering an authentic vintage experience without the need for additional maintenance or repairs. The boat is currently located in Italy and is ready for immediate enjoyment. For further details or to arrange a viewing, please contact our team.
