Broker's Comments

The Riva Florida is a very attractive and practical boat. Produced between 1952-1967, the cockpit layout is similar to that of the Riva Olympic, with the exception of a bridging deck on the Florida between the back of the front seat and the sunbathing/seating area at the stern.

She has been subject to a comprehensive restoration and the motor is not original.
The cushions are missing and the trim could do with being replaced but externally she looks sound.
We have not had the opportunity of sea trailing her as she is still in the yard.
