A Riva isn’t just a boat—it’s an heirloom. A symbol of luxury, craftsmanship, and legacy. The kind of boat that doesn’t just sit in the water but commands it. But even the finest creations need expert care. Time, weather, and water don’t play favorites, and your Riva deserves nothing short of perfection.
That’s where Tahoe Runabout Co. steps in. Nestled in the heart of Lake Tahoe, we bring certified Riva inspection services to Incline Village and beyond. This isn’t just maintenance—it’s preservation. Because when you own a Riva, “good enough” will never be good enough.
The Gold Standard: Certified Inspections
A certified inspection isn’t a quick glance. It’s a deep dive. At Tahoe Runabout Co., we treat every Riva like it’s our own. We know the details that matter: the mahogany’s grain, the chrome’s finish, the engine’s hum. We don’t just look for issues. We look for potential.
Is the varnish protecting the wood like it should? Are the fasteners holding tight against the pressure of the waves? Is your engine ready to roar, or is it whispering for attention? These aren’t just questions. They’re the difference between a Riva that turns heads and one that turns into a project.
Mahogany Matters
The wood on a Riva isn’t just wood. It’s art. Precision-cut, flawlessly finished, rich with history and character. But wood breathes. It bends. It cracks. It ages. And if you don’t catch the signs early, it can fail.
Our certified inspections focus first on the mahogany. Every plank is examined, every joint checked. If there’s a weakness, we find it. If there’s potential for failure, we address it because nothing should come between your Riva and the water it was built to conquer.
Hardware: The Silent Workhorse
Every bolt, every piece of chrome, and every hinge has a purpose. Together, they make your Riva what it is: an uncompromising blend of beauty and function. But hardware wears down. Chrome dulls. Fasteners loosen.
During our inspections, no detail is too small. We polish. We test. We replace what’s necessary and restore what’s salvageable. When we’re done, your Riva’s hardware doesn’t just look pristine—it performs like it was built yesterday.
Varnish That Stuns
Step back and look at your Riva. What do you see? The shine. The glow. That varnish isn’t just a protective layer. It’s a statement. A reflection of the water. A mirror of the sky.
But varnish fades. It cracks under pressure. During our inspections, we examine every inch of your Riva’s finish, ensuring it’s not just shining today but ready to shine for years.
Safety First, Always
Even the most stunning boat is worthless if it’s not safe. That’s why our certified inspections go beyond aesthetics. We test the structural integrity of your Riva. The hull. The frame. The systems. Every component is pushed to its limit, ensuring your boat isn’t just ready for the water—it’s ready for anything.
