The Riva 33’ Aquariva Super

Riva has been a household name of Italian boating since the late 1800s. The Riva family engrained themselves into yachting history after rescuing an industry from a devastating storm that destroyed countless fishing boats on Lake Iseo, in Sarnico, Italy. Through the generations, Riva has established themselves as a timeless elegance. Selected materials of the highest quality, attention to fine detail, and expertise is craftsmanship made Riva an object of desire for the glamorous.

We are well aware that the Riva 33’ Super is no super yacht. At 33 feet long, you can hardly bring all your closest friends aboard for a cruise. However, what this Riva lacks in size it surely makes up for in style.

The Italian design is glaring when first laying eyes upon it; this Riva is sure to capture passers-by wherever you go. Hand-crafted with its wooden decks, the deep colors of maple and mahogany provide the Riva with awe-inspired cruising colors. White upholstery provides an elegant contrast to the beautiful colors of the wood.

With a capacity of 8 people, the Riva Aqua is built for an intimate experience. A lounging area on the stern provides a unique riding experience seldom found on other builds. Comfortable and secure, this area is popular for the sunbathing, lounging guests who could not be bothered watching what’s ahead.

The unique style of the Riva 33’ Super is profound. Glaringly Italian in every aspect, you could almost picture yourself cruising in the canals of Venice amongst historical architecture, only to realize you are riding on it. The history of Riva could only be matched by such an outstanding build. It is more than just a yacht, it is the history behind it. Riva has truly branded itself as a piece of nautical art.
