History:

Until the arrival of the Aquarama, the TRITONE was the most important model in the Riva stable, the largest and most expensive boat, and the only one, at that time, to begin to be equipped with twin engines. Even when the more flexible Aquarama was launched the Tritone remained highly popular. Riva’s Greek God of the sea continued to evolve throughout its 16 years in production and 1960 also saw a version launched which gave a very clear indication of what was to come; the limited production Tritone APERTO. Not necessarily viewed as an interim model at the time, the Tritone Aperto was designed with modified rear decking featuring a large sunken rear area to create a comfortable and secure sunbathing zone. Protected by a solid border rather than lying on a mattress on top of the rear decking, sunworshippers clearly felt more secure and were more willing to sunbathe whilst their Riva was on the move at high-speed – this made for some iconic imagery. Only 15 Tritone Apertos were built paving the way for the legendary Aquarama and this example is one of those extremely rare original Apertos.


There will unlikely never be agreement on which Riva model is the best or the most beautiful. Many will agree that the Ariston has the purest lines whereas the Aquarama is the most refined, the most comfortable and has the most advanced hull design.  However, the Tritone, the Greek God of the seas and lakes, has special qualities all of its own in its characteristics shared with both of these models.  The Tritone was the most prestigious model in the Riva stable during the 1950s being the largest and most expensive model, and the only one, at that time, to be equipped with twin engines, as opposed to a single engine.  However, the pure, smooth lines of the Ariston were also present in the Tritone and the sleek tapered profile was beautifully adorned in continuous, uncluttered polished mahogany decking through to the stern giving the Tritone a luscious blend of pure, traditional lines with the speed, power, manoeuvrability and flexibility gained through the installation of twin engines and rudders. Even when the Aquarama was launched in 1963 the Tritone remained highly popular.  Its size, power and long range (thanks to large fuel tanks) made it an ideal boat for sea-cruising, and it did much to forge Riva’s reputation in the Mediterranean.
The all new Aquarama was officially launched in 1963 although the Tritone would remain in production and continue to be highly desirable in unison until 1966.
