Defined by its heritage as the successor to the Super Florida, this 1971 Riva Olympic represents a rare find for collectors. Measuring 6.55 meters in length with a 2.18-meter beam, this wooden classic was built for both style and utility, honoring the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games. With a displacement of 1,260 kg and a draft of 0.48 meters, it is optimized for agile handling during day trips or water skiing.
Powering this vessel is an original Riva Crusader inboard gasoline engine delivering 220 HP, currently showing 850 hours of use. It achieves a cruising speed of 30 knots and is capable of a maximum speed of 38 knots. The drivetrain features a shaft line transmission, providing the reliable mechanical feel characteristic of this era of boatbuilding.
Recent restoration work has ensured that this Riva Olympic remains in excellent condition. Key updates include a renewed aft deck with a natural finish and brand-new bed cushions. The cockpit features a command station adjacent to the aft sundeck, offering an intuitive layout for the captain and guests. It is equipped with original VDO engine instrumentation, ensuring the aesthetic integrity of the dashboard is maintained.
The vessel is well-appointed for immediate use, featuring a full cover, navigation lights, an anchor, a manual swim platform, and a bathing ladder. Safety equipment includes a bilge pump and a fire extinguisher. This specific unit stands out due to its verified Swiss registration, making it an ideal candidate for owners planning to navigate Swiss lakes.
