Hello, welcome to my listing.
I've added a few pics of a real Riva Aquarama that I chartered in Lake Como Italy, a few years back. I was also fortunate to experience a private
tour of The Ernesto Riva shipyard which jump started my healthy obsession with these handcrafted model boats.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
