Layout

The natural beauty of wood is something that no synthetic material can emulate. The classic Riva style with its five different timbers is quite possibly therefore the nearest thing to perfection. The Aquarama Special is the epitome of grace and style. The perfect lines and outstanding workmanship are a testament to Carlo Riva’s vision and skills of the master craftsmen who built them. The Aquarama Special is for the discerning; for those who are looking for ‘the most beautiful motor boat in the world’. The main design differences between the ‘Special’ and the two earlier classic Aquarama‘s are the hull, which was lengthened to 8.75m and the stern which incorporates an increased angle of the rake and a bathing step and gully, making it easier to climb aboard from the water. Not until 1977 was the steering wheel changed to the Barilani design together with new type VDU instruments and dashboard layout. Twin Riva 350hp V8 engines, totalling 700hp, give a top speed performance of 40 knots. The cruising range at 2500rpm is 6 hours.
