Words: Gentleman's Journal

It all began in 1842 on Lake d’Iseo, when a young skilled carpenter by the name of Pietro Riva set up his shipyard in the town of Sarnico, after arriving from Laglio on Lake Como. Over the years generations of the Riva family have continued to grow the business as well as the brand, by introducing technical innovations as well as breaking speed records. It was in the 50’s when Riva boats really became symbols of elegance, status and perfection. The Aquariva became an object of desire for Kings and Queens, as well as actors and actresses, sports champions, business people and celebrities alike.
The Aquariva best illustrates Riva’s natural style, better than any other model. This 33 foot speed boat with its beautiful and soft lines is not only one of the most stunning boats on the planet, it also combines its elegance with state of the art technology and the latest innovations.
The decks are beautifully carved using mahogany inlaid with maple, and the dash board and interior is covered in beautiful leather combined with modern design.
Despite all of the luxury and beauty on the outside, it is in Riva’s heritage to make the interior as beautiful as the exterior. The Aquariva features an innovative, electronically-controlled, two speed gearbox, which reveals all the gritty passion of the two powerful 380 hp Yanmar motors, with their exceptional performance of a top speed of 41 knots and a cruising speed of 36 knots. riva-yacht.com
