Fuoribordo Diporto Serafino Riva

Preserving a landmark of nautical history, this 1937 Riva Fuoribordo Diporto offers a unique restoration challenge for the dedicated collector. Designed by Gerolamo Caviglia and Serafino Riva, this 4.5-meter motorboat represents a time before serialized production, making it a truly scarce find for enthusiasts of pre-war craftsmanship. The vessel is constructed with a double-planked cedrella bottom and single-planked mahogany hull sides. The deck consists of 3mm mahogany plywood, while the interior features benches framed in cedrella with light ash wood trim. Its single, expansive cockpit configuration was originally designed for family use, offering a distinct silhouette that defined the era's recreational boating. As this classic hull is offered without an engine, it serves as an ideal canvas for a professional restoration project. The structural integrity and historical pedigree of this build provide a foundation to return a legendary design to its original glory. VAT is paid on this vessel. Located in Veneto, Italy, this project boat is available for inspection.
