History:

The name of Riva is synonymous with elegance, class, and premier European craftsmanship. Carlo Riva, Italian motorboat designer par excellence, was a legend of the 1950s. His wooden speed boats were renowned for their beauty, comfort, and quality of construction from the finest precious woods. In his time, his famous clientele included the Shah of Iran, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and all manner of royalty, movie stars, and business magnates. Our Riva Rivarama takes inspiration from Riva’s greatest creation and flagship of his life, the Riva Aquarama. The spirit, style, and superior quality of Aquarama finds its truest incarnation in Riva Rivarama, a tribute to fine Italian design that can be yours today.
