The Riva Aquarama hull no. 236, built in 1967, is a beautifully restored example of the most iconic wooden speedboat ever produced.
Designed by legendary Italian boatbuilder Carlo Riva, the Aquarama became the symbol of Mediterranean elegance in the 1960s and is still considered the ultimate classic runabout.
Often referred to as the “Ferrari of the sea”, the Aquarama combines:
-
timeless Italian design
-
hand-built mahogany craftsmanship
-
powerful V8 marine engines
Hull 236 underwent a semi-complete restoration in 2024, returning the boat to historically correct specifications.
