Convertible Top & Foredeck

The convertible “C-Top” allows the 88 Riva to function as both an open or coupé. It is moved by a pantograph mechanism that guides a double pair of arms connected to the top. It is then fastened by electro-hydraulic locks in the hard top and a mechanical joint in windshield.
The C-Top has three different positions: as a hard top for the main deck, half way up as a sunshade for the foredeck, or down, enclosing the foredeck seating area.
Custom inserts were made to enclose the hard top to the windshield sides when in the coupé position. This prevents any rain or spray to enter the helm deck, while still maintaining the sleek Riva lines.

Foredeck:
• U-shaped sofa (when C-TOP is up)
• (2) Watertight Loudspeakers Connected to the Stereo in the Lounge
• VIP Cabin Skylight
• Sun Pad

Bow

• Secondary Anchor (30 Kg) with 250’ of Galvanized Steel Chain (12mm)
• Fresh/Saltwater Washdowns and Firefighting Hose
• SS Bow Rail and Rub Rail
• SS Hawses and Fairleads

Lower Deck

Walking down 7 steps from main deck (custom built SS hand rail added by captain), you enter the spacious salon with almost 7’ of headroom. The lower deck is kept cool by the upgraded Super Tropical 108,000 BTU air conditioning system.
There is a beautiful combination of vintage and contemporary decor throughout inspired by Rivas of the 1980’s and 1990’s, including elm, leather, lacquered surfaces, and steel. The elm wood finished in a matte velvet “peach skin”, which feels soft to the touch and provides the senses with both a visual and tactile contrast to the polished steel highlights.
Plenty of storage space can be found under the sole, which is open from the galley area forward through the companionway. This is also where the blackwater, greywater, and freshwater tanks are located.
