Riva Aquarama by Assouline

the Story
The Riva Aquarama is the ultimate symbol of luxury and Italian design, dreamed up by Carlo Riva. Celebrating its 60th anniversary, the Riva Aquarama book edited by Assouline showcases the boat’s iconic mahogany craftsmanship, chrome details, and signature robin’s egg-blue upholstery. A favorite among movie stars, royalty, and celebrities, the Aquarama embodies the optimism of early-‘60s Italy and the charm of the Côte d’Azur. With only 650 of the original 760 boats still in existence, the Aquarama remains a legendary luxury speedboat. The book, available in a luxury mahogany box, offers an exquisite tribute to this timeless icon.
