Broker's Comments

Model of the historic RIVA shipyard. Unit number 51, built using the traditional Riva technology that made use of triple lamination mahogany and mirror finish that gives the boat a particular look. The upholstery is of the classic ivory colour with turquoise inserts. Chris Craft instrument panel.

With its sensuous curves and polished wood, the Florida has the star qualities of a classic Riva with the added bonus of being able to tell one’s friends that Brigitte Bardot owned a Florida.

As a Riva model, it represents a very exciting option for those seeking a beautiful tender for their yacht or a classic ski-boat with the open rear deck providing the ideal vantage point to keep watch over those skiing behind as well as the perfect mattress for a lazy afternoon of relaxation following a sporty morning of water-skiing.
