Riva Tropicana 43

This Riva Tropicana 43 is an exceptionally rare and highly desirable example.
The only hull with the factory-built extended bathing platform, adding a unique element of practicality and style.

Twin Cummins V8 engines with roughly 600 hours deliver strong performance, while her classic lines, sunpads, hydraulic features, and spacious cockpit embody the timeless Riva elegance.

Meticulously maintained by her owner, recently antifouled (July 2025), equipped with full cockpit and canopy covers, and upgraded modern equipment, she is ready for immediate cruising in Mediterranean waters.

For discerning owners seeking a blend of performance, luxury, and rarity, this is a superb opportunity.
