Riva 58 Bahamas
Heir to the Black Corsair, the Riva Bahamas is an elegant fast commuter with a profile characterized by taut and traditional lines that highlight its muscular and bold character. This is the first project managed entirely by the handsome Mauro Micheli and represents the most successful model in the new Riva generation.
This beautiful Riva Bahamas 58 #6 3 cabins plus crew (model that was built in only 19 units between 1992 and 1998 and mostly with 2 cabins) is a boat with a very interesting history.
The first Owner wanted the interiors to be based on her personal design (something that the Riva Shipyard does not normally grant to customers) and chose both the internal layout and the colors of the furnishings and upholstery, the Lady was endowed with great taste and personality as well as the heir and owner of the multinational MAN and richest woman in Germany; MAN was and is also the supplier of the Riva shipyard's engines.
She used it in Greece until 2005, where she lived in a villa on her private island, for her Bahamas she had a hangar built on the sea where it could be easily launched and hauled in a few minutes, the boat therefore remained in the water only for as long as necessary for navigation.
The second owner, a well-known Italian financier, purchased her in 2006 to use her in the waters of the French Riviera.
The third Owner used it for a short period (2015-2019) and occasionally due to health problems.
The fourth and current owner, a great Riva enthusiast and collector, purchased this Bahamas at the end of 2019 and immediately subjected her to an important and total refit between 2020 and 2023, now the vessel is in great condition, see the list of works carried out below .
