Aquariva Gucci

written by Neil Davey on Tuesday 8th of March 2011

What do you get when you cross two of the most renowned design houses? It’s not a joke: the punchline is a highly desirable, iconic boat for the 21st Century. The Riva has long been a symbol of La Dolce Vita, and this modern interpretation maintains the pure Italian elegance and allure you’d expect from both houses.

The glossy white hull (and the white cotton upholstery) is pure Gucci, while Riva’s signature use of mahogany with classic varnish finish – twenty coats in all, ten by brushing, ten by spraying – makes up the cockpit, decks and awning cover. And under it all, the two 380hp Yanmar engines, will glide you majestically to 41 knots.

It’s already being seen as a design classic and it’s not exactly hard to see why. For more information visit their website at riva-yacht.com.
