Officina Italiana Design, responsible for all of Riva’s concepts for the past 16 years developed this model in 2000, with naval architecture and engineering from AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology), Ferretti’s own in-house team of researchers. Final touches have come from Centro Stile Ferretti Group, and the result is a beautiful craft with a startling turn of speed. The price tag is around US$1,000,000, but there has been no shortage of takers. Riva has since built over 100 Aquariva Supers, with two recent limited edition variants, the Aquariva by Marc Newson, and the Aquariva by Gucci.
....................Sportscar styling
Riva originally styled its runabout models on big American cars, all the rage after the end of the Second World War, and traces of this obsession remain in the Super.
Gotta love Italian styling.
. . . It's beautiful, but somehow expect something larger for a million dollars . . .
Boy, is that a flashback. Although they're total strangers, everyone in that picture looks like someone I was related to or knew.Its a lot bigger and much shinier than my gandpa's old boat. But we sure had fun piling everyone in and going for a ride in his boat.

It could fit right into my family album. Except that we never had a boat that cool....
