Designed by Carlo Riva in 1968, the Riva Olympic serves as the successor to the Super Florida and holds a distinct place in maritime history. This 6.55-meter wooden craft maintains the elegance of the era, capable of reaching a maximum speed of 36 knots and cruising comfortably at 30 knots. Powered by a single 220 hp Riva Crusader 220 V8 engine, this used boat offers an authentic experience for enthusiasts of classic design.
With only 274 units produced through 1983, this specific model is a rare find. The layout is optimized for social outings, providing enough space for 6 people on board. The cockpit features a command station positioned adjacent to the aft sunpad, a design characteristic that enhances interaction while navigating. With a beam of 2.18 meters and a displacement of 1250 kg, the boat remains agile and responsive for both leisurely cruising and waterskiing.
Currently located in Switzerland, this vessel is in good condition and ready for immediate use.

Furthermore, there is the possibility to register the boat locally within Switzerland.
