Riva Revival (UK) Ltd and Colombo Boat Sales (UK) Ltd

All one’s personal and best ideas should be fulfilled while there’s still time to enjoy them.

Nick Thompson has been involved in engineering (through the family business) since the nineteen-fifties, together with boat building as a hobby. His vivid memories of water-skiing behind a Riva on Lake Geneva are as strong as ever. Later encounters in the South of France, Positano and Levanto were equally as special. It was the combination of these three factors which led him to establish ‘Riva Revival, specialising in the sale of Riva ‘classic’ wooden boats. Handling all of the necessary renovation, restoration and re-engineering required to return these wonderful crafts to their former glory.
