Defined by its iconic silhouette and heritage craftsmanship, this 1981 Riva Superamerica 50 represents a rare opportunity to own a legendary flying bridge yacht. Measuring 14.8 meters in length with a 4.15-meter beam, the vessel has been significantly enhanced through an extensive refit cycle spanning from 2023 to 2025. Recent improvements include a complete hull and superstructure polish, a fresh coat of ivory Riva deck paint, and the installation of a new teak-laid cockpit. The technical heart of the boat features twin Cummins VT903 engines, each providing 403 hp, ensuring a cruising speed of 24 knots and a maximum speed of 31 knots.
Living areas on board have been thoroughly modernized to reflect contemporary standards. The interior refit includes new memory foam mattresses, updated upholstery, and a redesigned salon featuring dimmable LED striplighting. An advanced JL Audio sound system with 12 speakers and dedicated amplifiers has been integrated throughout both interior and exterior zones. The galley now benefits from a new induction cooktop and a modern black-finish refrigerator, while the bridge area features a fully updated flybridge layout complete with a new frigobar, sunbathing cushions, and seating.
Mechanical and system reliability have been a primary focus of the recent maintenance program. The 2024 and 2025 works included a full engine room insulation renewal, turbine revisions, and an upgraded air conditioning system. Electrical upgrades encompass new batteries, high-capacity chargers, and an automatic 24V battery switch. Additionally, the vessel is equipped with a new Besenzoni passerelle and an expanded swim platform with a retractable teak ladder, enhancing ease of access.
This classic yacht suits those who appreciate the distinctive aesthetics of the Riva brand combined with the reliability of a comprehensively documented service history. With IVA Paid status and being based in Porto Santo Stefano, Italy, the vessel is ready for inspection.
