I remember as a boy in the sixties being taken to Portofino. My first sight of a Riva has stuck with me ever since. This boat brings back that class and elegance in spades. If I lived in the South of France and could afford one, yes please. As I live in the West of Scotland and can't, I will just have to dream. I could go and put a coat of anti foul on my small Contessa to cheer me up.
Stunning to look at, clearly enjoyable to drive and all summed up extremely well in you closing comments.
Brilliant video, thank you.
What a thoughtful & profound review!
Wonderful review. I really felt I was onboard!
The boat is the best of the best open cockpit sport about dedicated fair weather boat. Thoughtful and very fair review.
A stunning boat and what a gem of a review . intelligent , passionate and visceral ! with a superb command of your subject . looking forward to more reviews like this
Acheron..What a name for a boat, the God of the Underworld who ruled over the Lake of Fire and Pain.
And the name of the French aggressor in the film Master and Commander
@@keithlivingstone2525 I watched that movie for the first time yesterday, it is excellent.
@@flacjacket its my go to…..best Russel Crowe movie….better than Gladiator. Acheron is the French protagonist privateer Crowes ship chases…great plot and historic accuracy. Cheers!
@@flacjacket It was to be the first of a series but this movie didn’t perform as well as expected and that was that. Great movie though.
Definitely on my lottery win list, absolutely gorgeous 👍❤️🇬🇧
This is Art!
Absolutely gorgeous.
Great test of a great boat.
What a beautiful boat! Consistency all the way. Understand that the Swedish king bought one.
What a beauty.
With all the reviews from MBY and Aquaholic it's not often I agree with everything that is said in the commentary and description. On this occasion though I do. Despite it being an absolute stunning looking boat, for a family or proper cruiser you can get much more for that sort of cash. But as they say, you get what you pay for and that boat just overflows with style and presence. If I had that sort of cash around and was looking for a boat to purchase I would look elsewhere for a proper family week away type of boat. Still gorgeous though.
Which marina was that? Pretty houses behind you I see!
9:25 There's talk about a slightly compromised view ahead but the cameraperson didn't show us at any point. Or did I miss it?
Nice day boat but also weekender. ☀️
I'd go for it
Great review and love the boat, but you are right. Unless you have 100mil..and you are a bachelor, you are likely going to opt for a great Italian 45 foot cruiser, like an Azimut, or something of that nature for this $$$. I don't know where it stacks up against the current Rivas and their prices, but it sure is a very fine copy of the 60's Aquaramas! Agreed, you can get quite a beautiful boat for 1.5Mil these days with a lot more use for the family. But yes, if I had a spot for 2 boats and could afford both, this would be on my short list for my personal play toy. Thanks.
How big is the water tank since this boat has a head
What's the hull made from? Aluminium?
I think it is made from wood.
1.5 million Euro price tag, kinda high for some of us, but fun to watch video....
So weird looking at European boats with the helm station on the port side, and the companion way being on the starboard side. Which is the opposite of here in the United States, with helm on starboard, and typically the companion way on the port. But, then you realize that it's this same opposite for cars! I wonder why if European people drive from the right side on a car, why not stick to it on a boat as well? This is a beautiful boat! It does harken back to the 50's and 60's.
well all European cars have their steering wheel on the left side, except in the UK, and drive on the right side of the road. So when overtaking in both a car and a boat you are able to see if the road i.e. waterway is free from opposing traffic. Hence a helm position on starboard side makes it a little more challenging, especially when there is a lot of traffic, but is probably related to cosmetic reasons or that most people are right handed and therefore able to control the throttle a little easier.
I have a swedish boat and my helm station is on the starboard side. So I don't think port side helm is a European thing.
you need to practice, excuse my english. i need to practice english and you need to practice your job
The staccato comentary proved too much for me. Extremely annoying
