Riva
Riva are universally recognized as the most beautiful and the most desirable of
all the classic wooden motorboats. Built without compromise, as near to
perfection as practically possible, Rivas are acknowledged worldwide as the
Bentleys of the sea. The golden age of the wooden Riva began in the late 1940s,
and continued until almost the end of the 20th century. The last wooden Riva was
completed in 1996.
The Tritone was a pivotal design for Riva, and only their second venture into
the fledgling leisure speedboat market of the 1950s. The design marked the
transition from the 2-seater, single-engine runabouts that typified the early
20th century, to a much more spacious and useful family dayboat, with more
seats, a small cabin and twin engines. This was the coming of age of the wooden
speedboat and the beginning of the golden era of La Dolce Vita on The Riviera.
The Tritone entered production in 1950 and was an immediate success. It played a
lead role in establishing Riva as the world leader in wooden speedboats, and
laid the foundation for the company’s meteoric rise to legendary status over the
next half century. It remained in production, through various modifications and
improvements, until 1966. In all, some 258 Tritones were built.
