The Story of Ferrari Hydroplane
The history of Ferrari Hydroplane is related to the Italian speedboat racer Achille Castoldi. Castoldi already achieved speed records in the 1940s with his boat Arno, then in the early 1950s he decided to create an even more powerful racing hydroplane.
The project was made special by the contribution of Ferrari. The boat was fitted with a Ferrari racing engine, with the help of which the construction became one of the best-known players in water speed races of the era.
On October 15, 1953, Achille Castoldi reached a speed of 150.49 mph in the 800 kg boat class. The Ferrari-powered hydroplane has thus become one of the iconic machines in the history of classic powerboat racing.
Castoldi retired from racing in 1954 and the boat became the property of Nando Dell’Orto. The new owner raced it for years after the modifications. The inscription NANDO DELL’ORTO and the race number 50 on the model are reminiscent of this era.
Large Scale Handmade Motor Boat Model
One of the most important values of the 90 cm Ferrari Hydroplane ship model is its size. Thanks to the larger surface area, the grain of the wood, the chrome fittings, the aerodynamic lines of the cockpit and the ship are especially impressive.
The mahogany hull receives careful surface treatment. The multi-layer, high-gloss varnish adds depth to the color of the wood and highlights its natural grain. The red body and chrome details create an elegant contrast.

✨ Lacquered Mahogany Hull
One of the most beautiful parts of the Ferrari Hydroplane motorboat model is the wide, flat hydroplane hull. The grain of the reddish mahogany is clearly visible even under the high-gloss varnish.
The hull is followed by chrome edges and small metal details. The combination of wood and metal fits well with the character of the classic racing equipment of the 1950s.
️ Ferrari on the water
The name Ferrari is mostly associated with sports and racing cars, so the hydroplane powered by the Ferrari engine occupies a special place among the technical curiosities related to the history of the brand.
The Ferrari Hydroplane boat model therefore appeals simultaneously to fans of Ferrari, classic motorsport, powerboat racing and historic vehicles.
Why is the 90 cm version special?
The 90 x 38 x 25 cm Ferrari Hydroplane speedboat model has a much more representative appearance than a smaller tabletop model ship. The length of 90 cm and the width of 38 cm provide a truly imposing appearance, while thanks to the larger size, the characterful hydroplane shape, the mahogany deck, the cockpit and the small chrome details are excellent from a distance.
Therefore, it is a particularly good choice for a place where the ship model plays a role as an independent, accented decorative element.
