Riva is the world's most iconic luxury yacht brand, with a heritage dating to 1842. From its legendary Aquarama mahogany speedboats to its modern superyacht range, Riva defines ultra-luxury leisure boating. The brand is synonymous with Italian craftsmanship and the dolce vita lifestyle on water.
Riva is quite simply the most iconic name in luxury powerboats, with a heritage stretching back to 1842 on Lake Iseo in Italy. The mahogany runabouts of the mid-20th century -- the Tritone, the Ariston, and above all the Aquarama -- are among the most beautiful objects ever designed, and they established Riva as the definitive expression of dolce vita waterborne luxury. Under Ferretti Group ownership, the modern lineup has expanded dramatically, from the compact Rivamare to the superyacht-scale Riva 130, all sharing the distinctive DNA of elegant Italian design and meticulous finish. The craftsmanship is extraordinary: hand-finished wood details, custom leather interiors, and a level of fit and refinement that separates Riva from more volume-oriented builders. The vintage market for classic Rivas commands extraordinary prices, confirming the brands status as producer of genuinely collectible vessels. Pricing ranges from substantial to staggering, but within the luxury marine world, the Riva name carries an emotional resonance and design legacy that no competitor can replicate.
