If history is a remark, the original wooden Riva Florida spurred a glorious moment for the today Italian status symbol boat builder and sold in its time between 1952 to 69 over one thousand units. This new Riva 88 Florida which continues the over two decades long Mauro Micheli design efforts is a totally different boat, from size to construction materials. But yet again the new 88 Florida spurs imagination forward, something also the small runabout did. It is in simple terms a genius effort to change a hard top yacht into a fully open one in some seconds, thanks to the Ferretti Group patent called the Convertible Top. This system alone changes what kind of customer the 88 Florida attracts, and in simple terms feels to be a more juvenile yet in its own right already looking a classic super sport yacht. At this moment a big question comes to mind, and it will be interesting to see if Ferretti Group will keep this patent Riva only, or try to use it on the other brands.
