Riva Aquarama Special

This is a Riva Aquarama Special being put through its paces by its owner.

Riva is a company founded in Italy in 1842 by Pietro Riva.

The Aquarama runabout series was launched by Carlo Riva in 1962

The most famous of Carlo Riva's designs, the Aquarama has become, over time, more than just a boat. It is celebrated as a nautical legend in its own right. Its evocative name perhaps assured its mythical status, and is derived in part from the widescreen Cinerama movie format, popular in the early 1960s, which is echoed by the boat's wide windshield.

Boys will be boys.
