A Handcrafted Tribute to Ferrari’s Legendary Hydroplane
The OMH Aquarama Exclusive Edition Ferrari Hydroplane is more than a wooden model—it is a celebration of 1950s racing heritage. Each model is crafted by skilled artisans using the plank-on-frame construction method, the same technique used for real wooden boats. Every detail, from the stainless-steel fittings and polished exhaust pipes to the finely stitched leather cockpit, is created to mirror the authenticity of the original vessel.
This collectible pays homage to the Arno XI hydroplane, commissioned by Achille Castoldi and powered by Ferrari’s legendary V12 engine. In 1953, the Arno XI set a world water speed record of 150.49 mph, a record that remains unbroken in its class. With its sleek mahogany hull, vibrant red trim, and meticulous detailing, this handcrafted OMH model preserves the spirit of speed and luxury that defined mid-century racing boats. Whether showcased at home, in an office, or in a private collection, it stands as both a piece of art and a historical tribute.
