Defined as the young generation's 'bomb' upon its debut, this 1967 Riva Junior serves as a versatile wooden runabout designed for both family use and maritime sports. With an overall length of 5.7 meters and a beam of 2.17 meters, this classic boat balances ease of handling with the signature aesthetic of the era. Notably, the hull features the distinctive orange-peel white enameled sides typical of 1960s American utility vessels, paired with a unique overhanging stern designed to deflect spray.
This specific vessel has undergone a complete engine overhaul and full maintenance service, ensuring it is ready for the water without requiring immediate major repairs. The deck layout centers on a large cockpit, secured by mahogany handrails mounted on chrome-plated bronze supports. The engine hatch serves as a base for an integrated sunbathing area that connects directly to the aft seating, while the pilot and co-pilot benefit from an automotive-inspired helm station protected by a wrap-around chrome-profile windshield.
Distinguished by its period-correct color scheme, the interior upholstery showcases cream-toned accents on the dashboard with turquoise seating and backrests. Practicality is further enhanced by ring-shaped cleats designed for easier launching and hauling operations. This model is a piece of maritime history, famously favored by international figures such as Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor.
Currently, this vessel is available for purchase with VAT paid. The price has been reduced to 48.000 EUR. Serious inquiries for further technical documentation or inspection arrangements can be provided upon request.
