Few names in luxury evoke the same timeless allure as Riva. Celebrated for its impeccable craftsmanship and unmistakable Italian style, the boat manufacturer occupies a revered place in maritime design. Its signature styling hallmarks, such as a mirror-finished mahogany hull, gleaming chrome fittings, and twin engines, add to the pull of Riviera glamour that is coveted by film stars, industrialists, and royalty alike. Today, Riva is regarded as a symbol of Mediterranean sophistication, with the hand-crafted runabouts renowned as “the Ferrari of the sea”. Much like Ferrari defines automotive excellence on land, Riva embodies elegance and performance on the open water. Each vessel represents a living testament to Italian artistry, a fusion of beauty and engineering, celebrated across generations.

The Ferrari 488 Spider on offer is a remarkable dedication to this philosophy, extensively personalised through the Ferrari Tailor Made programme. The project was commissioned by the 488 Spider’s consigning owner, who has been the sole custodian from new. The seller’s vision is recognised with a dashboard plaque dedicated to them. The car’s exterior is finished in Blu Chiaro Metallizzato, accented by Bianco King and Blu Tiffany lower panels, complemented by Blu Chiaro Metallizzato and chrome Cavallino centre-caps for the striking 20-inch forged diamond alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin immerses occupants in marine-inspired luxury, combining white leather with Italian maple and walnut inlays, Kvadrat steel-cut marine carpeting, and Blu Tiffany stitching, including Cavallino-embroidered headrests. Maple and walnut detailing extends across the centre console, doors, rocker panels, and floor mats, while the boot houses bespoke luggage, an air compressor bag, and a tool kit, all dressed in the Riva-inspired livery. It is further accompanied by maintenance invoices, owner’s guides, and a service book.

With just 9,925 kilometres showing on the odometer at the time of cataloguing, this Tailor Made Ferrari 488 Spider offers more than bespoke craftsmanship—it is a celebration of Italian culture that invites its owner to experience the sophistication and performance that have made icons out of the Ferrari and Riva marques. It is a car perfectly suited to the winding roads of coastal Mediterranean towns and cities, where style, luxury, and la dolce vita converge.
