LIVING MOMENTS N° 7

bar mit einem Cabrio. Zusätzliches Highlight ist die Heckgarage mit Ten- der oder Jetski. Auf der 76‘ Bahamas ist Rivas aktuelle DNA geschrieben: eine perfekte Synthese aus Geschich- te und Tradition, Innovation und Technologie, Eleganz und Leistung. The history of the cult label RIVA comprises more than 170 years, its heyday, however, began only in 1949 when Carlo Riva became the compa- ny successor and started at the Lago d’Iseo to produce those small open mahogany boats that would soon be- come the “must-have” of the jet-set in the fashionable resorts of Europe. A new motorboat era, the “Pleasure Boating”, was born, with the focus less on getting from A to B, but rather on cutting a good figure. Internation- al stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Bri- gitte Bardot or Richard Burton were among the enthralled clients. The RIVA fascination is unabated until today. A brand in which not tempo- rary trends prevail, but long-lasting quality, a careful attention to detail and that touch of glamour highlight- ing the perfect balance between tra- dition and modernism. 76’ BAHAMAS – THE NEW RIVA The name Bahamas has long been a part of the Riva history. It reminds you of the exotic flair of heavenly islands you can explore aboard this dream ship. It is thus hardly surprising that this elegant super-high-tech open “sports fly” is a very sought-after ob- ject of desire for so many shipowners. The idea of “Open Yachting”, which can be closed to coupé mode, is comparable to a convertible. An addi- tional highlight is the rear garage with a tender or Jet Ski. The 76’ Bahamas embodies Riva’s current DNA: a per- fect synthesis of history and tradition, innovation and technology, elegance and performance. 141 Living Moments RIVA YACHTS I POROLI SPECIAL BOATS
