Rare 1959 Riva Tritone – Collector-Grade Restoration of an Italian Icon

✨ 1959 RIVA TRITONE – HULL #147 ✨

A Masterpiece of Italian Heritage | Professionally Restored to Perfection
The 1959 Riva Tritone stands as one of the most iconic wooden runabouts ever built, the direct predecessor to the legendary Riva Aquarama. Designed by Carlo Riva at the famed Cantieri Riva shipyard in Sarnico, Italy, this rare classic represents the height of 1950s Italian craftsmanship, glamour, and performance.

Hull #147 is among the world’s finest surviving examples, the only Tritone of this calibre in Australia. After a four-year, no-expense-spared restoration by expert shipwrights in Pittwater, Australia (with direct Riva factory involvement), this collector-grade vessel is now fully restored, turnkey, and ready for her next chapter.

🏆 Highlights:
• Fully stripped and structurally restored hull, professionally sheathed and finished with 16 coats of varnish and 5 coats of wax
• Twin original Chrysler V8 220 hp engines, completely rebuilt to factory spec
• Complete rewire and new period-correct gauges sourced from Riva Sarnico
• All chrome re-plated and polished; new traditional Riva white & turquoise upholstery
• Offered with a brand-new custom aluminium trailer built specifically for this boat
This Tritone has been lovingly owned by one Australian family since 1995 and remains a museum-grade example, an heirloom for generations to come.
