Imagine this exquisite piece of art glimmering in your home or office! Great Gift Item! The Riva Aquariva model speedboat sits perfectly on the included base, which is made of a high-quality, conditioned wood. The Riva Aquariva Speedboat model is built from scratch by experienced master artisans and is not from any sort of kit. To create the subtle details and definitions of the deck and hull, the plank on frame method of construction is used, which requires hundreds of hours of pain-staking, detailed work. The highest quality, rare woods (including Ebony, Rosewood, Blackwood, Mahogany, Jack wood, and Sycamore) used to construct our models are subjected to specific seasoning procedures to ensure that the model will withstand severe climate and never warp or split. The quality Honduras mahogany and fine cherry wood are of the highest caliber and generally used for real boats are used on our Riva Aquariva models. Our Riva Aquariva speed boats are highly polished to a glossy smoothness along with meticulous details that match the perfection of the real thing. Numerous layers of paint and varnish are painstakingly applied, with each layer dried and smoothed through sanding before application of the next. Details such as fittings, trimmings, steering wheels, and propellers are made sculpted brass or stainless steel. These metal pieces are then polished for perfect gold and metallic tones. The Riva Aquariva Speed boat's dashboard is complete with a realistic metal steering wheel, switches, and gauges, all made from polished metals. Plush Seats are hand-stitched and genuine leather. Extensive research is required to build each Riva Aquariva model according to scale, using various pictures, original plans, drawings, and digital imaging. Each Riva Aquariva model ship is examined during various processes of manufacturing and shipment to ensure the highest quality and accuracy possible for your investment.

History

Synonymous with elegance, class, and premier European craftsmanship, Riva has been one of the world’s leading producers in high quality speed boats since the 1950s. The Riva name dates back through the 1840s, where Pietro Riva began to fashion boats in a small northern Italian town called Sarnico. Pietro’s grandson, Carlo, would be the figurehead of the Riva Speed Boating legend. In the 1950s, Carlo Riva began to produce elegant wooden speed boats of unquestionably superior style and quality. The Riva Aquariva is considered the boat that bridges the gap between the Riva speedboats of the old, and the Riva speedboats of the future. Produced in 2001, the Riva Aquariva features dual Yanmar engines that provide the speedboat with 370 hp at 3300 RPM, enabling it to reach max speeds of 42 knots per hour. The Riva Aquariva’s elegance and construction through the use of finely crafted and exotic woods parallels the speedboat’s unprecedented level of comfort and performance. As the past Rivas were, the Riva Aquariva continues to stand as a symbol of style, class, and power.
