Operating out of three different facilities in Italy (Sarnico, La Spezia and Ancona) Riva’s offerings are split into three series, Open, Sportfly and Flybridge, with subsequent models ranging between 8 to 54 metres in length. Originally founded in 1842 by Pietro Riva, the shipyard first started out repairing storm-damaged fishing boats. Under the leadership of subsequent generations, particularly Ernesto and Serafino Riva, the shipyard grew from building transport vessels to powerboats and racing yachts in the early 20th century. The 1950s marked a pivotal era for the shipyard under the guidance of Carlo Riva, whose vision and partnership with designer Giorgio Barilani led to the creation of iconic wooden yachts such as the Ariston, Tritone, Sebino, and the legendary Aquarama, launched in 1962. Acquired by the Ferretti Group in 2000, Riva continues to uphold its legacy of quality, design, and style. Today, Riva’s unique brand DNA is characterised by meticulous craftsmanship, timeless design, and a commitment to excellence. The shipyard’s heritage is reflected in its ability to merge traditional Italian artistry with cutting-edge technology seamlessly. In addition to new builds, Riva offers a range of services including refits and customisations, ensuring that every yacht meets the highest standards.

Riva’s current lineup includes models such as the 76′ Perseo Super, 110′ Dolcevita, 102′ Corsaro Super, and the Aquarama Anniversario.
