Riva Boats & Yachts

Brand Introduction

Riva is one of the most representative yacht brands in Italy. It was founded in 1842 by Pietro Riva on the shores of Lake Iseo in northern Italy. The brand started with wooden handmade boats and gradually developed into a symbol of modern luxury yachts. It reached a turning point in the 1950s, when the Aquarama wooden-hulled speedboat launched by Riva was popular among European aristocrats and Hollywood stars, and also established the brand's position in the high-end market. Currently, Riva belongs to the Ferretti Group and is one of its core brands. In the global market, Riva's buyers are mostly high-net-worth people who value brand history, design sense and detailed craftsmanship. The brand still retains some production lines in Iseo to continue its craftsmanship tradition, while adapting to modern market needs through technological upgrades. Riva is not a brand that pursues the "biggest" or "fastest", it pays more attention to the texture of yachts as a lifestyle carrier.
