Spiboot, Small Swiss Runabout for sale

Update: she’s now for sale. After WW II lots of aluminum was left due to the manufacturing of aluminum airplanes. Boat manufacturers started to use the aluminium for new light weight boat models. One of them was the Swiss manufacturer Spiboot. A lot of boats were produced and there are still some of them around. Most of them, unfortunately in bad condition. Classic Boats Amsterdam still have some small spiboot runabouts for sale. Under the wing of the team of Classic Boats Amsterdam a model ‘taifun junior’ was recently restored. Update: she’s now for sale. More information about that project can be found here.

This Riva boat must have received a lot off VIPs, celebrities and family members of the Grimaldi’s. This Tritone was build in 1958 for the Prince and was always well taken care off by an engineer at Monaco Boat Service. Years later the Tritone was handed to the engineer who’d planned to take over the Riva. Unfortunately he didn’t have enough time and financial credit to restore her. And so on the Riva was sold to…
