Riva Florida

Defined by its heritage as a classic fast commuter, this 1958 Riva Florida stands as a landmark of mid-century Italian design. Measuring 5.4 meters in length with a beam of 1.9 meters, this vessel is constructed from traditional wood, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with the builder. Its displacement of 1800 kg ensures a stable and authentic experience on the water, reflective of the era's engineering excellence. At its heart, the vessel is powered by a single Chris Craft engine delivering 131 horsepower. This propulsion system provides the characteristic performance expected of a vintage runabout, delivering a responsive and spirited ride. The mechanical simplicity of this setup emphasizes the focus on pure, classic boating enjoyment. As a historic icon, this boat suits collectors and enthusiasts of the dolce vita period who prioritize original aesthetics and historical significance over modern technical complexity. It serves as a precursor to the legendary Aquarama models, making it a critical addition to any serious classic boat collection. This Riva Florida is currently available for viewing through our agency located at Viale del Fante, 54 in Palermo, Italy.
