The Ariston means "best of the best". This beautiful aristocratic boat has often been called "The Rolls Royce of the sea".

A highly sought after and sea-going craft, which has been in production for 24 years, the Ariston is the longest lived of all the Riva models.

Technical updating was a continuous processs (to keep it worthy of its name Ariston) on both hull and engine design. As larger more powerful engines were installed, the hull was adjusted to obtain proper floatation and propeller clearance.

The well laid out cockpit seats 6 people luxuriously. The front seats fold down converting the whole cockpit into a flat padded platform for sunbathing. An easy to operate hood attaches to the windshield making the Ariston an ideal boat for all seasons.

American engines have been used exclusively by Riva since 1952, using the well tried and tested Chrysler Sea V. M80 or Chris Craft 283 V8.

Ariston: LOA 6.52m, Beam 2.16m

Please note: Detail specifications may vary from boat to boat and modification were introduced during the various periods of production. Likewise, individual boats may have been completed to customers requirements and many current examples have been subject to modification during their lifetime.
