Of the about 760 completed Aquaramas made in the Sarnico shipyard, Riva experts estimate around 650 are still in existence, which only adds to the boat's legendary status. The Riva icon enjoyed a mythical status and was beloved by movie stars, heads of state and royalty - everyone from Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, Gunter Sachs and the royal family of Monaco, among countless other luminaries, have been enchanted by the Aquarama's spell. Beloved for its clean lines, mahogany, glistening chrome details and signature robin's egg-blue and cream upholstery, the Aquarama reflected la dolce vita optimism of early-'60s Italy it's impossible to picture the glittering Côte d'Azur and coasts of Europe without visions of endless summers spent lounging on the back of the boat in the warm summer sun, and the gentle roar of the engine as the Aquarama cuts through the surf. Dreamed up by the legendary Carlo Riva, the run-about wooden speed has become an icon of Italian design and the Riva Aquarama book, edited by Assouline, celebrates its 60th Anniversary. When it comes to glamour and high style on the seas, there's nothing more captivating than the Aquarama.
