Rio Classic Boats

At the end of the 1950's, the small town of Sarnico at Lake d'Iseo was the home of Avionautica Rio.

These were the times of la dolce vita, where legends were created and where Rio boats, crafted from mahogany wood, took center stage. Between 1960 and 1975, these design classics were being brought to life, in Sarnico on Lake d'Iseo, the heart of Italian boat building. A triumph of detail, great passion and impressive craftsmanship. Rio built almost 500 of the finest mahogany boats, many of which are still in existence today. Rio Classic Boats - in cooperation with Rio Yachts - has become the new home for its owners and enthusiasts.

The flagship of the Rio fleet is the "Colorado" with a total length of 8.2 m. and a width of 2.62 m. Two 177 hp Chrysler engines provided sufficient power. An elegant top-of-the-range speedster — fully accessorized — satisfying every wish.
