The name Riva is
synonymous with class, quality and the highest
of European standards. It is an
object of desire and an expression of dreams.
Nothing came near to matching the superb
quality, style and prestige of the Riva.
Riva was
introduced in 1962. In 1971, the Riva Aquarama
Special ended the
traditional Italian mahogany runabouts.
There is no doubt that this
is a much sought after boat. Second hand
Aquaramas fetch from about $80,000 to well over
$200,000. The last ones off the production
line sold for approx. $270,000. The boat
is 28foot (8.5m) in length; maximum beam is 8’6”
(2.62m).
She was powered with twin 220 hp
engines that gave her a max speed of 40 knots.
Always
innovating, always ahead of its time, and always
exhibiting a style and quality beyond
comparison, Riva triumphs at all the boat shows
and on all the markets in the world. Kings and
emperors, princes and sultans, actors, sportsmen
and celebrities headed straight to Riva to
choose their boats in the same way as they went
to Rolls-Royce or Ferrari for their cars. |
