BRIEF HISTORY
44 Rivarama, the
legendary Aquarama, with an elegant style and an air of
deserved superiority.
The 44 Rivarama is a big boat
with very useful internal volume and accommodation for
spending more than a day aboard. In fact, the sharp
metallic-bronze hull conceals a veritable floating apartment
inside with all Italian fabrics and designer soft
furnishings. The sense of space and headroom is noticeable,
as is the amazing attention to detail. The open-plan layout
ranges from a sumptuous island double bed in the bow that is
flanked by hanging lockers, to a designer bathroom with a
separate shower stall and flash fittings. Even the toilet
lid had been painted in metallic silver paint that matched
the moulded amenities centres in the cockpit. The trendy
floating glass sink and shower rose were additional
highlights.
At the foot of the companionway and in between the bed and
bathroom was a chic galley concealed behind flip-back
splashbacks. The instant wine or champagne chiller is
destined to be a clincher. Plonk a bottle in the hole and
five minutes later you're ready to toast the high life on
the not-so-high seas. You also get champagne flute holders,
a Krupps coffee machine, deep top-loading fridge, recessed
two-burner Bosch cooktop and extractor fan, and microwave
oven.
The 44 Rivarama comes with full crockery, cutlery, fine
glassware, espresso cups, and linen in a dedicated linen
press. But the piéce de résistance has to be the leather
suitcase in the below-bed drawer. The traveller is big
enough to stow a week's worth of clobber for a short voyage
somewhere around the Med. |
