RIVA AQUARIVA SUPER YACHT

Following a good article about the 33' Aquariva, a repost of FLUX Magazine's December 5 article.  For some reason, they used rendering photos of the yacht, but I have actual photos if you'd like to see them.  Just let me know!

Riva Yachts, Italian motorboat makers, have created a luxurious yacht that surpasses opulence. The Aquariva Super Yacht will set you back a couple of million, but it’s worth every buck. You don’t get more luxurious and over the top wow-factors that this zippy vessel has to offer.


Firstly, it’s a 33-foot boat with an interior stylish enough to rival any penthouse suite, while the exterior is made from anodized aluminium and a textile-based laminate to give it a high tech look. The result is basically this: you’re very comfortable, well fed, well pampered and look super cool while cruising over the waves in a futuristic-looking yacht with everyone else wondering how they’ll ever be as cool as you.


The gorgeously carved wooden deck (mahogany inlaid with maple) gives the Aquariva a taste of tradition while the innovative, electronically-controlled, two speed gearbox brings it into the modern age with the help of the two powerful 380 hp Yanmar motors. The result? 41 knots of maximum speed and 36 of cruising speed.
