Riva Aquariva Special | Built to Order
The Aquariva Special is a new chapter of the runabout that carried the Riva Aquarama forward, a boat built in more than 300 examples over two decades. She keeps the proportions that made her name: a polished gelcoat hull, a mahogany deck, a solid mahogany gunwale and rub rail, and her name set in chrome-plated brass along each side. A chrome-plated brass searchlight sits on the windshield, and stainless steel and tempered glass frame the view forward.
Much of the day happens at the stern. The swim platform, covered in mahogany, sits low to the water, with a stainless-steel ladder that folds out of sight when it isn’t needed. A hatch on deck opens to a freshwater shower for the way back aboard. Just above, a wide sunpad with mahogany handrails looks out over the wake, and a water ski hook is there for anyone who wants to ski.
Forward of the sunpad, the cockpit is arranged around an upholstered sofa and a stainless-steel table that folds open for lunch. The wet bar has a sink, a Corian® cutting board and a refrigerator, while four watertight speakers carry music from the stereo below. When the sun is high, a fabric sunshade unfolds from its concealed housing over the cockpit.
At the helm, a folding seat with a headrest faces the wheel, chartplotter, and engine instruments. Through a locking sliding door, the cabin below has a fabric-upholstered V-berth, wood lockers, mahogany storage, and a head with a concealed electric toilet.
Each Aquariva Special is built to order through Jeff Brown Yachts. Our team will walk you through the standard specification and the options Riva offers, from the first conversation to the day she is handed over.
