History of this model :
Gino GERVASONI recounts how one day, just after the Second World War, he was out for a stroll in the center of Milan, when he noticed a cinema hall whose name reminded him of the serene years of Lombard's quiet citizens: the hall's name was Cinema Ariston.
Designed for the most demanding customers, the Riva Ariston is based on the Riva Corsaro formula, but on a larger scale.
At first, 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, enabling it to reach speeds of up to 70 km/h.
The pure lines of the boat had evolved to reach its equilibrium with the Super Ariston in 1968. With a 350 HP Riva engine, its speed exceeded 80 km/h.
The functional sprayhood gives the boat the classic elegance typical of the Riva model.
Without doubt, Riva (which began life in a carpenter's store in the mid-19th century) is the undisputed world leader in the manufacture of elegant, luxurious wooden runabouts.
Production of the Riva Ariston began in 1950 and ended in 1976.
1012 units were built at the Riva shipyard.
