Junior

Defined as the young person's bomb when first presented at the 1966 Genoa Boat Show, the Riva Junior is a versatile 5.7-meter motorboat crafted from wood. This 1967 model stands out for its unique hull design, featuring white enamel-painted sides inspired by 1960s American utility vessels and an outward-projecting stern that protects passengers from sea spray. The ring-shaped cleats, rather than traditional bollards, facilitate easier launching and retrieval. The deck layout focuses on a large, accessible cockpit protected by mahogany handrails on chrome-plated bronze supports. Centrally located, the engine housing doubles as a base for a sunbathing area that integrates seamlessly with the aft seating. Forward, the driver and co-pilot enjoy a cockpit modeled after automotive design, shielded by a wraparound windshield with a chrome profile. The interior is finished in distinct cream and turquoise vipla upholstery. Performance is delivered with a maximum speed of 36 knots and a cruising speed of 28 knots. This used boat has been meticulously maintained, with the engine fully serviced and overhauled, ensuring it is ready for immediate use. The vessel represents a piece of nautical history, once favored by figures such as Brigitte Bardot and Richard Burton. This specific 1967 Riva Junior is available for purchase at 50.000 EUR. The vessel is offered with VAT paid (IVA Pagata). Interested parties can request further details regarding this classic motorboat by contacting the brokerage.
