Thanks to the expertise<\/strong> of Alberto Arcangeli<\/strong> and his team<\/strong>, the shipyard specializes in the
maintenance and restoration<\/strong> of wooden boats such as the iconic Riva<\/strong>, which\u2014renowned for
their elegance and refinement\u2014remain coveted by enthusiasts worldwide.<\/p>

Our philosophy<\/strong> is centered on a conservative, authentic approach<\/strong>: a method that enhances each vessel<\/strong> while remaining true to its original character and respectful of the rich history embedded in every Riva boat.<\/p>

This delicate work<\/strong> is carried out by highly skilled personnel<\/strong> specialized in woodwork, fiberglass, and mechanical components. The wooden boat restoration process includes several phases<\/strong>, each requiring specific know-how:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In restoring wooden boats\u2014especially historic Riva boats made of mahogany\u2014 the preparation of the hull is essential. Every surface must be treated with utmost care using appropriate tools and materials.<\/p>

The first step in Arcangeli\u2019s process is assessing the condition of the wood to determine whether it is suitable for repainting.<\/p>

If the condition is critical, our in-house carpentry department intervenes with structural repairs, reconstructing damaged planks or the hull\u2019s outer layer.<\/p>

This work is always done with respect for the boat\u2019s original characteristics, ensuring structural integrity and maintaining the iconic Riva design through meticulous craftsmanship and the use of top-quality products.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Once the hull has been restored, the Arcangeli team begins the varnishing phase, which includes several key operations.<\/p>

First, the surface is prepared with light or heavy sanding, depending on the need. Then a mahogany paste is used to match the original color, followed by impregnation, applied by brush, roller, or spray.<\/p>

To breathe new life into wooden boats, the process may also include color filling\u2014a sequence of sanding and varnishing steps to achieve a full, glossy, and uniform surface.<\/p>

The varnishing concludes with the application of two or three coats of transparent finish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the final stage, every component of the boat is reinstalled with precision.<\/p>

Original elements are restored and repositioned, while any compromised parts are replaced with either genuine or faithfully reproduced components.<\/p>

Every detail is crafted with care\u2014from fittings and windshields to instruments and interior finishes.<\/p>

Everything is handled with respect for riva\u2019s timeless design and functionality, with the aim of returning each boat to its original splendor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
