Riva
Since 1842, Riva has been a name synonymous with timeless elegance, flawless craftsmanship, and nautical prestige. Born on the shores of Lake Iseo in northern Italy, Riva has transcended its humble origins to become an icon of luxury boating—an emblem of la dolce vita on the water.
A Heritage of Craftsmanship
Every Riva boat is more than a vessel; it’s a work of art. From the polished mahogany of the Aquarama to the sleek curves of the modern Aquariva Super, Riva’s signature lies in its unparalleled attention to detail, artisanal perfection, and refined aesthetics. Each model is handcrafted using the finest materials, embodying the essence of Italian design and engineering.
A Symbol of Glamour
Riva boats have long been associated with cinema legends, aristocrats, and style icons—from Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren to modern-day collectors who recognize the unique blend of tradition and innovation that defines the brand. Owning a Riva is not just about owning a boat—it’s about embracing a lifestyle.
From Past to Present
Now part of the prestigious Ferretti Group, Riva continues to craft luxury motorboats and yachts that honor its legacy while embracing the future. Its collection includes everything from sleek day boats to majestic superyachts, each carrying the unmistakable Riva signature: elegance in motion.
