Cruise in style on this classic 1959 Riva Super Florida, Lolo, hull number 360 of 711 made. Lolo is a beauty, turning heads at every port of call. Riva founder, Carlo Riva aimed to create a “legendary emblem of luxury and nautical refinement, by manufacturing magnificently crafted leisure boats,” such as the Super Florida. Roger Vadim gifted the Riva Super Florida, Nounours to his then wife, Brigitte Bardot in 1959. Other Riva owners included Sean Connery, Richard Burton, Hugh Hefner, Roger Vadim, Anita Ekberg, Jean Paul Belmondo, Ferruccio Lamborghini, and Gianni Agnelli. Get behind Lolo’s helm, and you’ll understand why the rich and famous chose to ride in style on a Riva. Lolo is one of the few Riva Super Florida’s in the United States. Stuart King, from Annapolis, Maryland, found Lolo in 1990, annd restored her in 1990 – 1992, refinished her in 2003 when she was sanded to the wood and varnished, fitted with new upholstery, and had West System applied on the hull from the waterline to the keel. We keep Lolo in a closed garage during the winter months where she undergoes preventative maintenance. For the rest of the year, we keep her on a covered boat lift out of the water and sun after occasional cruises to waterfront dining and waterskiing on the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. After cruising, we rinse, and hand dry her. In 2024, we installed a new 12-volt stereo with USB, a new horn, and checked beneath the bow plate and screws on the rub rails and other parts of the hull. In 2023, we re-bedded the prop shaft strut, aligned the engine with new engine mounts, installed a new cutlass bearing as well as a new neutral safety switch, and hand-painted her custom trailer. In 2022, we varnished her again and installed a new bilge pump, raw water pump and battery. In 2021, we restored her wiring to original harness as much as possible. We had a Crate GM 350 engine installed in 2015 which has run approximately 600 hours since then. Lolo is equipped with a fluxgate compass, docking lines, anchor, depth sounder, life vests, and authentic Riva running lights, flagpole, ski pole, instruments, deck boards and cleats. She’s in turn-key condition, ready for you come aboard and have fun water skiing or enjoying the sunset out on the water.
