Based in Uithoorn, Holland, Riva-World, specializing in restoration of the legendary Riva wooden boats, has beautifully restored the iconic Riva Aquarama hull no. 278 superyacht tender. Ordered by Ferruccio Lamborghini in early 1968, this spectacular boat was originally fitted with a pair of Lamborghini V12’s modified for marine use by the Lamborghini factory.
Riva Aquarama hull no. 278 yacht tender now boasts new engine, based on that of a Lamborghini Islero, with elements of a 350GT. Thanks to this, the boat can achieve an impressive top speed of around 46 knots.
