"Rolls-Royce of the sea", "Stradivarius of boating" are some of the expressions used to describe the very famous Riva Aquarama Special, the flagship of the Riva range at the time!
A true emblem of the Mediterranean coast, the Aquarama and its variations "super, special..." were produced from 1962 to 1996 in 720 copies. This powerful twin-engine boat has so much charm and elegance that it is compared to Rolls-Royce and Ferrari. The Riva Aquarama was born in the summer of 1962 and was without doubt the most famous of all RIVA models. After a secret gestation period, the Tritone assembly line was interrupted and the hull n°214 was removed and transferred to the area reserved for prototypes. Carlo Riva and Georgio Barilani, his designer, begin the transformation of the Tritone. A passageway was dug in the deck between the stern and the transom to facilitate access to the water and to allow the owner to move away from the beaches to approach more peaceful coves. In August 1962, the Aquarama was transported to Monaco for its first sea trial. The test pilot's name was Giovanni Agnelli, the all powerful owner of FIAT. The tests were deemed satisfactory. The first Aquarama is named LIPICAR I, an anagram of the names of Carlo Riva's three daughters: Lia, Pia and Carla.
The name Aquarama evokes both the panoramic view that can be seen in the chrome contours of its windscreen and the new vogue for giant screens (Cinerama). The Riva Aquarama was produced from 1962 to 1971 in 288 units and powered by Chris Craft and Riva V8 engines of 185 and 220 hp. Its speed reached 75 km/h or 40 knots. The Riva Aquarama will be evolved into the Super Aquarama, built between 1963 and 1971 in 203 units with more powerful engines from 290 to 320 hp. From 1972, a new evolution appeared, called Aquarama special with its characteristic transom. It will be produced 236 units until 1995. The longest Aquarama, with its 8m75 and the most powerful with its 2 engines of 350 HP, remains the flagship of the range.
