The Riva Scoiattolo was introduced during the early years of Carlo Riva's leadership, as the company transitioned toward its future identity in international luxury boating. Conceived as a compact runabout, the Scoiattolo offered an entry point to the Riva tradition without compromising build quality. Produced in limited numbers, it was valued for its reliability, restrained design, and careful woodworking. The model reflected Riva's focus on functional elegance, laying the groundwork for later, more widely known designs. Today, original Scoiattolo boats are highly sought after, and handcrafted replicas preserve the understated character of this early Riva classic.
