The Riva Aquarama is a luxury wooden runabout built by Italian yachtbuilder Riva which was founded by Pietro Riva in 1842. Production of it and its derivatives (the Lungo, Super, and Special) ran from 1962 until 1996. The hull was based on the Riva Tritone, an earlier model speedboat by Riva. The boat's speed, beauty, and craftsmanship earned it praise as the Ferrari of the boat world. 
The most famous of Carlo Riva’s designs, the Aquarama has become over the decades a nautical legend. Aquarama's 8.02 - 8.78 mt. hull was sheathed in mahogany and varnished to accentuate the beauty of its natural wood grain. All versions were twin engined, with top speeds of 45/50 knots depending on engine choice. Power varied from 185 hp to 400 hp per engine, delivered by Riva 'tuned' Cadillac and Chrysler models, among others. On top of the engine compartment was a cushioned sundeck. The boats also carried a convertible roof which retracted behind the rear seat and cockpit. A swim ladder was often mounted in the stern.
