History

The Riva Aquarama, dubbed the "Ferrari of the boat world," is an iconic luxury wooden runabout produced by Italian yachtbuilder Riva from 1962 to 1996. Inspired by the earlier Riva Tritone and American Chris-Craft runabouts, the Aquarama is celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship, speed, and elegance. Its design features a sweeping windshield and a hull sheathed in varnished mahogany, emphasizing the beauty of its natural wood grain. This model was known for its powerful performance, with twin engines ranging from 185 hp to 400 hp, achieving top speeds up to 50 knots. The Aquarama was versatile too, equipped with a cushioned sundeck, a convertible roof, and a swim ladder, catering to luxury and comfort. After the sale of Riva to the Whittaker Corporation in 1969, Carlo Riva later helped develop the Monte Carlo Offshorer, innovating with a stepped-hull design to enhance speed and efficiency. The Riva Aquarama remains a legendary symbol in the boating world, epitomizing the pinnacle of Italian nautical design.
