People's Choice Winner of the 25th Annual Chris Craft Rendezvous in 2014, Riva, is one of the few Chris Craft's that has had a wonderful history of great owners who have cherished and upgraded this vessel throughout its lifetime. Riva was never a restoration project as this yacht has continually been maintained and upgraded. Not too often does an opportunity arrive to own one of America's classic, iconic and restored Chris Craft's. Riva, a freshwater moored yacht, is powered by economical and dependable 6-71 Detroit's. Riva will burn 10-12 GPH at a comfortable 12 knot cruise.
