Ayrton Senna’s boat, Gilles Villeneuve‘s, but also Gianni Agnelli‘s(pardon me, those). And what about the Canav Rudy, design by Renato “Sonny” Levi, with which Riccardo Pozzoli, the young creative director of Persol, fell in love. Or the full story ofCarlo Riva’s Aquarama for its 60th anniversary. And Aldo Silvestroni, The Boston Guy, that guy who decided to set out to restore vintage Boston Whalers.
What do these stories have in common? They are all articles of sea and passion that we have told you about here on Motor Boats. Actually there would be many, many more.
Stuff for real engine and fiberglass (and wood) enthusiasts.
Testing and news are our bread and butter, you know, but let’s not forget the iconic models that have made and are making history. Because Barche a Motore, in 2025, crossed a very important milestone: its first 35 years. And in doing so, we have traveled back through our entire history all the way to the infamous “number 1.”
Here it is:
In this journey into the past we realized how many stories there are, even just about what was going on 20 years ago. And nothing can be found on the Internet, a real heritage that is being lost. That’s why with a subscription to Motor Boats you have access to our archive up to 2012 (continuously expanding).
In short, already this is a good reason to subscribe or to give the subscription as a gift.
In addition, starting in January 2026, our magazine’s initiative to census and enhance all the classic boats that are around today that are more than 25 years old will take shape. Classics, however, are not only Italian, quite the contrary.
It will be a long and fascinating journey where we will publish unobtainable proofs of models of the past that are now valuable uses, as well as articles and in-depth features on those hulls that made history and are now collector’s items for enthusiasts.
In short, if in addition to the news(and we will tell you about it, rest assured) you are interested in seeing and learning about the most beautiful boats ever, you only have to subscribe or give your subscription as a gift.
Happy reading!
