BRIEF HISTORY
Until the arrival of
the Aquarama, the Tritone was the most important model in the
Riva stable, the largest and most expensive boat, and the only
to be equipped with twin engines. Its size, power and long range
(thanks to large fuel tanks) made it an ideal boat for
sea-cruising, and it did much to forge Riva’s reputation in the
Mediterranean. Evolving from the BQ 69 designed in 1950 it was
given its name in 1953. Its hull design drew on the Corsaro,
with the addition of a second row of seats in the cockpit,
behind which the stern area was completely decked and used as a
sun bed.
A total of 257 boats were built between 1950 and 1963.
