“...buyers can be part of a<br />
legacy that has expanded to<br />
include the House of Gucci.”<br />
Topping the white fiberglass hull, the deck is<br />
laid in traditional Riva mahogany and finished<br />
with no less than 24 coats of varnish, half of<br />
which are applied with a custom hand-brushing<br />
technique. The mahogany decking harkens back<br />
to the firm’s iconic mid-century designs, when<br />
its vessels were custom built exclusively from<br />
wood. The all-mahogany decking is exquisite<br />
at first sight, its dark golden tones contrasting<br />
perfectly with the white hull.<br />
But there is more to the aquariva Gucci than<br />
its grand looks. The yacht achieves a top speed<br />
of forty-one knots with its twin 380-horsepower<br />
Yanmar engines and a maximum cruising range<br />
of 150 nautical miles. as a pleasure boat, the<br />
aquariva Gucci’s length of 33 feet provides<br />
plenty of space within for several passengers to<br />
comfortably socialize, and the rear sundeck allows<br />
for serene and extended sunbathing while the boat<br />
is under way.<br />
Riva yachts of this length are still made in the<br />
factory in the medieval town of Sarnico, italy,<br />
on the shores of Lake iseo, where founder pietro<br />
Riva began the Riva tradition some 160 years<br />
ago. Today, buyers can be part of a legacy that<br />
has expanded to include the House of Gucci. The<br />
price for the aquariva Gucci is $750,000.<br />
