A New Era for Riva
Riva Debuts Four New Yachts at Private Premiere
On June 30, 2025, Riva made a splash at its Sarnico shipyard on Lake Iseo with a private world premiere, unveiling four new luxury yachts. The event, attended by a select group of international owners and guests, showcased the brand’s continued commitment to innovation and excellence. The new models introduced were the Aquariva Special, Riva Cento, Riva 58’ Capri, and Iseo Super.
The New Models
Each of the new yachts offers something unique. The Iseo Super, a 27-foot runabout, is a new iteration of the brand’s first electric boat, the Riva El-Iseo, featuring updated technology and a sleek design. The Aquariva Special is a refreshed version of a classic model, incorporating modern design elements while retaining the timeless appeal of the original.
To celebrate a significant milestone—the delivery of the 100th Rivamare 38’—Riva introduced the limited-edition Riva Cento. This model features exclusive styling details like leather-colored cushions and a retractable gangway. Finally, the Riva 58’ Capri was presented as the first in a new line of sport open yachts, blending high performance with luxurious comfort and a contemporary, sculpted exterior.
A Night of Italian Excellence
Alberto Galassi, CEO of the Ferretti Group, highlighted the significance of the event, stating that “four Rivas in one night are an absolute delight.” He expressed his excitement for the new models and the impact they would have on yachting enthusiasts.
The premiere was more than just a yacht show; it was a full-sensory experience. It featured a flyover by a Gulfstream G650 jet and a Sikorsky S-76 helicopter, both of which have interiors inspired by Riva yachts, a product of the brand’s collaboration with aviation partner Flexjet. Guests were also treated to an immersive live music program, exquisite culinary service by the Alajmo brothers, and a showcase of vehicles from automotive partner Range Rover.
This grand event underscored the ongoing partnership between the Ferretti Group and Flexjet, a collaboration centered on shared values in luxury mobility and design.
