History of this model:
Gino GERVASONI tells that one day, just after the Second World War, he was going out for a walk in the center of Milan, when he noticed a cinema hall whose name reminded him of the serene years of the quiet citizens of Lombard: the name of this hall was Cinema Ariston.
Intended for the most demanding customers, the Riva Ariston is inspired by the Riva Corsaro formula but in larger proportions.
At the beginning, the Riva Ariston was powered by a 185 HP Chris Craft V8 engine, later by a 220 HP engine and then by a 290 HP engine that allow it to reach the speed of 70km/h.
The pure lines of the boat had evolved to reach its balance with the Super Ariston in 1968. With a Riva engine of 350 HP, its speed exceeded 80km/h.
The functional canopy gives the boat the classic elegance typical of the Riva model.
Without a doubt, Riva (which started in a carpenter's store in the middle of the 19th century) is the undisputed world leader in the manufacture of elegant and luxurious wooden runabouts.
Production of the Riva Ariston began in 1950 and ended in 1976.
1012 units were built at the Riva shipyard.
