Description Description

When it comes to glamour and style at sea, there’s nothing more captivating than the Aquarama. Dreamt up by the legendary Carlo Riva , the wooden motorboat has become an icon of Italian design and the Riva Aquarama book, published by Assouline, celebrates its 60th anniversary. Beloved for its clean lines, mahogany, gleaming chrome details and signature robin’s egg blue and cream upholstery, the Aquarama reflected the optimism of the dolce vita of early 1960s Italy. It’s impossible to picture the glittering Côte d’Azur and the shores of Europe without having visions of endless summers spent lounging at the back of the boat in the warm summer sun, and the gentle roar of the engine as the Aquarama cuts through the waves.

With every purchase of Assouline's Ultimate Collection, a pair of white gloves and a canvas bag are included as a gift.

More information

This Riva icon enjoyed mythical status and was loved by film stars, heads of state and royalty: Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, Gunter Sachs and the royal family of Monaco, among countless other personalities, have all been enchanted by the Aquarama. Of the approximately 760 Aquaramas built at the Sarnico shipyard, Riva experts estimate that around 650 still exist, which only adds to the boat’s legendary status. But more than a trophy, the Aquarama is a boat highly prized by its owners and enthusiasts: it is not just a boat, but the realization of a dream. In this exceptional tribute to the Aquarama, author Michael Verdon tells the story of the legendary boat and brings to life its dolce vita charm. The book is also offered in a special edition, presented in a luxurious mahogany case that expresses the beauty of the Aquarama’s magnificent hull. This special edition offers owners, collectors and enthusiasts alike a piece of the Riva dream.

About the brand

Assouline, where culture meets luxury It all began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline found themselves at the La Colombe d'Or hotel in France, one of their most beloved places in the world. As they experienced its beauty together, their curiosity about life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the photos, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, published in 1994. Today, every Assouline book continues to be created with the same union of talent and passion: Martine's editorial direction and Prosper's creative vision.
