D’IDA is undoubtedly the finest Riva Super America 50 on the market, a flagship model from the Riva Shipyards, with as many as 251 units produced between 1972 and 1992, designed by the renowned architect Giorgio Barilani.

Meticulously maintained down to the smallest detail, the yacht has had only two owners and has been used exclusively for private purposes, always with a permanent crew member on board and stored indoors at a shipyard during the winter months.

Original logbooks from the year of construction, as well as the original user and maintenance manuals, are available to fully trace the boat’s history and all work carried out over the years. The complete set of original onboard accessories (plates, glasses, cutlery), vintage Riva, is also available.

Between 2023 and 2025, the boat underwent significant refitting, fully documented with

corresponding invoices.
