The ultimate boat. If you had to keep just one Riva, it would probably be the Super Aquarama. 8.45 metres, built between 1963 and 1971, the absolute pinnacle of the Sarnico yard’s craft: the boat chosen by the Onassises, the Brandos, the Sinatras. Twin V8s, master-class finishes, mahogany bulwarks and chrome, six to eight guests received as if in a salon. Today’s values exceed one million euros for the best-preserved examples.

Original architecture. Solid mahogany hull, twin Riva Crusader V8s of 350 horsepower each, top speed of 44 knots. An open-water thoroughbred with unmatched visual presence.

The Lanéva conversion. At this level, retrofit takes on a heritage dimension. Our approach mirrors that of a watchmaker working on a collector timepiece: invisible integration, certified industrial-grade components, fully reversible should an owner or future buyer ever want to return to thermal. Twin electric motors of 250 to 350 kW each (depending on the desired output), high-density battery pack of 150 to 200 kWh, top-tier supervision. Original performance fully preserved – even surpassed, thanks to immediate electric torque.

On board, you will experience… the Super Aquarama, finally unleashed. No more €600 fill-ups, no more anxiety about an irreplaceable V8, no more noise that drowns out conversation at 30 knots. The same lines, the same prestige, the same thrill – in a silence that changes everything at anchor.
