The Riva Aquarama Special is the best-known RIVA, built in 278 units from 1972 to 1987, fitted with a pair of 350 hp V8 engines.
Riva Aquarama is still the symbol of luxury in the nautical world.
The Aquarama, Carlo Riva's most famous designs, has become more than just a boat over time. As the undisputed flagship of the series, it is hailed as a nautical legend in its own right, a superlative in beauty, craftsmanship and performance rarely surpassed both on and off the water. Perhaps securing its mythical status, its evocative name derives in part from the widescreen Cinerama film format popular in the early 1960s, reflected by the boat's wide windshield.
Originally, the Aquarama was a direct descendant of the Tritone, on whose hull it was based. First built in 1962, it incorporates the Tritone Aperto's open sunbathing area with several innovations including separate front seats and a central non-slip gangway allowing easier access to the water aft. Like the Tritone, she was always a twin engine boat, although trim levels varied widely, from 185 hp each to 350 hp in the Aquarama Special.
A total of 769 boats were built over the long production run of the Aquarama, which only ended in 1996. Among them were 203 Super Aquaramas (built 1963-1971), seven Aquarama Lungo (only 1972 and the longest at 8.7 meters.). ) and 278 Aquarama Special (1972-1996).
