About the riva shipyard.

The renowned Italian Riva shipyard is known for the elegance and speed of their yachts. The legendary brand is synonymous with European savoir-faire and timeless design. It’s no coincidence that almost every James Bond movie features Riva yachts, probably most infamously in Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig and Eva Greene cruise into Venice onboard a Riva Spirit 54. This spirit of excellence is expressed in every Riva yacht for sale on the market today.

The Riva Legend: an Italian Success Story of Craftsmanship and Engineering

The history of the esteemed Italian Riva shipyard dates back to 1842, when young Pietro Riva started making a name for himself, restoring yachts damaged by a storm on Lake Iseo, Italy, like no other. He continued to open the Riva shipyard in Sarnico, where he started developing the first Riva models, earning Riva yachts an excellent reputation. His son Ernesto Riva then continued his father’s legacy by introducing the first Riva yachts powered by internal combustion engines.

Today, the Riva brand is one of the world’s most seemed and prestigious yacht builders, perfectly combining elegance and speed.

Exclusive Italian elegance and design

Since the Riva shipyard was acquired by the Ferretti Group in 2000, the brand and its reputation have only grown. Another outstanding feature of every Riva yacht for sale is expressed in the builder’s exclusive partnership with Mauro Micheli. Micheli, alongside Sergio Beretta, is the founder of Officina Italiana Design and has an exclusive design partnership with the Riva shipyard.

The Riva Yacht Range

The Riva range expresses the shipyard’s commitment to revolutionary engineering, reliability, and performance throughout all models. Currently, Riva is producing a range of 19 different yacht models.

Riva Open Model Range

The Riva Dolceriva, Riva Aquariva, Riva Bahamas Super, and Riva Rivamare are just some of the builder’s open yacht models. The open model range consists of motor yachts between 23ft and 85 ft (7-26m) and is the epitome of European sport boats.

Riva Sportfly Range

The Sportfly yacht range combines the speed of the open model range and the comfort of the flybridge range. The Riva 66 Ribelle, Riva 76 Perseo Super, and Riva 88 Folgore range from 65ft to 88ft (20 to 27m) and combine the best of both worlds.

Riva Flybridge Range

Riva’s flybridge line ranges from 82ft to 108ft (25 to 33m) and includes the iconic Riva 110 Dolce Vita model. All flybridge yachts are designed with the utmost comfort and elegance in mind while still impressing with great cruising speeds.

Riva Superyacht Range

The Riva superyacht range includes three catalog models that truly express that yacht’s commitment to elegance and forward-thinking engineering. The Riva 130 Belissima, Riva 50 Metri (264ft), and Riva 54 Metri (177ft) are the epitome of European yacht building and feature the brand’s signature design throughout.

Custom Riva Motor Yachts

In addition to their impressive model range, Riva has built numerous custom luxury yachts. Famous custom Riva yachts are 95.8ft (29.2m) Ruzarija, 85.3 (26m) BLACK PEARL AJJACIO, and 264ft (50m) RACE.

Why buy a Riva yacht for sale?

There are many reasons why you would want to buy a Riva yacht. Some of the most outstanding ones are:

Engineering & Speed

From day one onwards, all yachts from the esteemed Riva shipyard are crafted with perfect engineering in mind, reaching up to 45 knots.

Elegance & Design

A Riva’s iconic lines are recognizable from far away, and the elegance of Mauro Micheli’s design translates into the very last detail of every Riva yacht’s design.

Iconic Shipbuilding Heritage

Pietro Riva, Ernesto Riva, and most recently, Serafino Riva and Carlo Riva have truly translated their Italian heritage into the Riva brand. The long family-owned shipyard has stayed true to its roots and is the epitome of European luxury.

Wide Range of Models

The wide model range from 23ft to over 177ft (7m to over 50m) allows owners to grow with the brand and have a yacht that fits every need. While a Riva Aquariva is the perfect model to cruise into Venice like James Bond, the Riva Bellissima is the ideal yacht for a cruise along the Italian Riviera.

View all Riva Yachts for Sale . Allied Marine strives to educate prospective buyers on the world-class quality and performance of our new Riva yachts for sale. Learn more about the incredible origins of the Riva brand below. 

A FAMILY LEGACY SINCE 1842 In 1842 in Laglio, Italy, on the banks of Lake Como, a visiting fisherman admired young Pietro Riva’s skill in boat repair. He invited Pietro to Sarnico, Italy to repair two of the fisherman’s own damaged boats. This is the humble birth of what would become Riva’s legendary history.

Soon Pietro started building fishing boats in addition to repairing them. He also married and built a family. His son, Ernesto Riva, learned the trade and became a skilled carpenter, but Ernesto saw motorboats as the future, not fishing boats.

MOTORBOATS AND SPEEDBOAT RACING EMERGE In 1881 Ernesto began his own family, and in the meantime was commissioned to build the first motorboat. Its success encouraged him to design and build motorboats of his own, some of which were used to transport tourists to Montisola, the largest lake island in Europe.

When Ernesto was killed in a boatyard accident in 1907, his son, Serafino Riva, stepped in to run the family business. Aware of the technology and attitude shifts occurring after the turn of the century, Serafino devoted his time to building leisure craft instead of his father’s transport boats. European inboard engines and outboard engines from the United States revolutionized the construction of boats, and Serafino decided to dedicate the company's new Riva yachts for sale to the new sport of motorboat racing.

Serafino showcased Riva’s excellent performance, which convinced the most famous pilots of the time to drive Rivas in the speedboat races. The races, which were rapidly gaining in popularity, became an excellent way to promote leisure boats in general, even outside of the racing region. In fact, in 1928, Riva participated in Milan’s first Nautical Exhibition. Riva was part of virtually all motorboat events held between 1931 and 1939, the year when racing activities were suspended in Italy.

THE FAMOUS RIVA RUNABOUT In the mid-1930s, the world’s most famous mahogany runabout (still instantly recognizable today) was designed and built by Riva. Production of these yachts was never interrupted, even when demand declined during the Second World War.

After the war, Riva designed and popularized more speedboats, such as the “Sea Spider” which evolved into the “ Corsaro . ” The new sport of water skiing became popular, and of course, Riva yachts were right there, meeting the needs of water skiers throughout the Mediterranean .

ENTERING THE MODERN ERA In 1949, Carlo Riva purchased the yard from his father, Serafino. In 1956, Carlo began a decades-long collaboration working with Giorgio Barilani, a boat designer and architect exclusive to Riva.

By the late 1960s, Riva boats became synonymous with the rich and famous. Owning a Riva was a sign of style and elegance. In Saint-Tropez, actors, actresses, heirs, and heiresses partied onboard these stylish yachts all night long. Sophia Loren purchased at least two Riva yachts, and Rivas were frequently showing up in the movies. Because of their timeless design and top-quality material choices, Riva yachts became instant classics that still hold their prestige more than six decades later.

OWNERSHIP CHANGES In 1991, the last Riva family member to work at the company left shortly after Rolls Royce purchased 100 percent of Riva's shares. But in 2000, Riva became Italian-owned once again when the Ferretti Group acquired the yard.

Ferretti relaunched the product and the brand, with a primary focus once again on what made Riva great: Quality, design, and style.

As part of the Ferretti Group, Allied Marine is proud to be the exclusive dealer for all new Riva Yachts for sale along the East Coast in the United States.

The evolution of a legend

VETRORESINA

THE FIBREGLASS ERA AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE YARD (1970 - 1999)

Carlo Riva was an innovator not only in design and style, but also in materials and technologies. From one of his many trips to America, he brought back his discovery of composite materials, whose potential he was the first to see.

Between the 1970s and '90s, the cultural revolution also contaminated style. They were years of experimentation in which the frenetic pace of day-to-day life propelled the myth of speed back into the limelight. On his international travels, Carlo Riva learned about new recreational boating technologies and replicated them in his work as a builder and manufacturer of series produced boats, here too showing his great ability to innovate. It was in the United States that he recognised the potential of fibreglass.

Contrary to general opinion, he thought it was the perfect material to have more aesthetic and design freedom, as well as reducing maintenance costs (almost to zero) and increasing production capacity. But it meant becoming familiar with a completely new material that was very different from wood, and for the workers at the Yard it wasn't an easy transition.

The first Riva-branded boat was built in 1969 and the 1970s began with the launch of fibreglass production across the entire range, in collaboration with the American yard Bertram, which had been using the material extensively for years and with excellent results. The first two Riva models in composite material were the Bahia Mar 20 day cruiser and the Sport Fisherman 25 cabin cruiser, followed by the Rudy. These models had exposed wood finishings, in keeping with tradition. In parallel, embittered by the adverse trade union climate, in September 1969 Carlo Riva sold the yard to the US firm Whittaker but remained as chairman and general manager until his resignation in 1971. These two posts were then held by his brother-in-law and business partner (since 1950) Gino Gervasoni. New and old models evolved and the Riva tradition lived on. Carlo Riva nevertheless continued frequenting the Yard for a further ten years as the tenant of "La Plancia", his old office.

In the 1970s, '80s and '90s various new models were launched. The highly successful Superamerica, a sporty flybridge produced in various lengths from 45 to 50 feet, was the first major cabin cruiser and remained on sale for over 20 years. Then came the Riva 2000, the St. Tropez - produced until 1992 - and the Corsaro 58, followed by the Black Corsair and the Riva 32 Ferrari. Despite the success of fibreglass, production of wooden runabouts continued until 1996, the year the last Aquarama Special (number 784) was built. In 1989, a year after the acquisition of 100% of Riva's stock by the UK group Vickers (which also included the Rolls-Royce brand), Gino Gervasoni, husband of Carlo Riva's sister, left the Yard after 41 years. This marked the end of the Riva family's involvement in it. At the 1991 Genoa Boat Show, Riva presented the 58' Bahamas, the first of its boats on which designer Mauro Micheli worked.

20' BAHIA MAR & 25 SPORTFISHERMAN

Determined to design something new and with the same passion that had gone into the creation of his evergreen runabouts, Carlo Riva exploited the collaboration with Bertram to start redesigning with style, taste and elegance the deck and superstructure of two boats imported from the USA: the 20' BAHIA MAR and the 25' SPORT FISHERMAN. He managed to soften the appearance of the composite materials with the warmth of wood in the detailing on the hull and superstructure, but also in the interior finishes. The Riva BERTRAM fibreglass hulls were a new development in recreational boating, and yet another example of Carlo Riva's indispensable contribution. Presented for the first time at the 1970 Genoa Boat Show, they aroused the curiosity of owners and experts alike, shocked to see that composite materials too could produce sensations of beauty, balance and harmony. These were unforgettable and emotion-filled moments for the engineer who built the Ferraris of the sea and, with the same ardour and enthusiasm, was about to leave his unmistakable stylistic mark on a new technological era.

Agile, responsive and very fast, this inboard immediately showed its unmistakable Riva class, despite its modest dimensions. The Rudy was an exciting boat that was fun to drive, but above all it was an excellent runabout for water-skiing (also at competition level) and a perfect tender for large motor yachts. It was the first fibreglass boat that Riva built entirely to its own design, and in Italy. In its construction, a Riva Junior was used as pre-mould to speed up the process and guarantee a tried and tested aesthetic appearance.

Superamerica 42/45/48/50

The Superamerica was the forerunner of all Riva cabin cruisers over 40 feet and continued the Yard's experimentation with composite materials. Architect Giorgio Barilani collaborated on this project, which proved to be innovative in terms of both its performance and layout. Carlo Pagani, who had studied under the celebrated Gio Ponti, was involved in designing the refined elegance of the interiors. The particularly innovative circular stairway was later reprised on the Riva 2000, because as well as being highly original, it also freed up more space on board. Other much appreciated features included the roomy cockpit and the second helm station on the flybridge. Riva once again made pioneering use of innovative technical solutions, and the Superamerica became a true cult, a benchmark in terms of clean lines, seaworthiness, comfort, speed and manoeuvrability. It was an expression of absolute superiority, an experience of class yachting based on both spaciousness and intimacy, as well as on the superlative efficiency of the mechanical engineering and instrumentation.

The Corsaro motoryacht's sleek profile transformed large volumes into simple, elegant forms, which not only highlighted the unmistakeable contours but also improved manageability in windy conditions. Its agile and speedy trim concealed an exceptional structure that came into its own in more demanding navigational situations. The interior layout, featuring two large owner cabins, a comfortable guest cabin, crew quarters, an extremely practical galley and the grand saloon with lounge, dining area and bridge, was unimaginable when catching sight of the Corsaro speeding past at 31 knots. And its exquisite finishings were matched by a wealth of equipment and systems, from radar to desalination, plus extended range for long cruises.

The Riva 58' Bahamas combined luxury and comfort with versatility and performance. In addition to a top speed of 39 knots delivered by two MAN diesel engines, it offered interesting practical features, such as the hydraulic gangway concealed in the stern and the tender compartment, while the below-deck cabins were furnished in perfect Riva style. Next to the sunbathing areas was a dinette with a mini bar. And to please even the most demanding owner, the Bahamas could be ordered with one of three different layouts, offering the option of a separate dinette, a guest cabin with separable beds or a larger lounge area.

Riva 32 Ferrari

Designed for people who love to ride the waves at high speed, the Riva 32 Ferrari had an innovative design ahead of its time, incorporating the technology and engineering excellence of both Riva and Ferrari. The carbon fibre spoiler was its unmistakable signature, in grand 1990s style. The propulsion system was the result of meticulous testing to achieve maximum reliability and performance in the order of 54 knots using the surface propeller system. The boat had custom Riva instrumentation, a wrap-around anti-glare windshield, anatomical seating, a comfy sofa and a spacious sunpad, colour contrasts and a generous bed below deck in the bow. Another notable, indeed unique, new feature was the first ever electro-hydraulic swim ladder. But the most important innovation in this model was the use of digital design: the Riva 32 Ferrari was in fact the first boat to be built at the Sarnico yard using 3D modelling software (provided by Ferrari Engineering).

any experience with cummins 630 turbo - fuel economy, top speeds, general comments

Capt Ralph Senior Member

Welcome to Yacht Forums. The Cummins 8.3L, common rail, computerize, straight 6 cylinder, turbo and after-cooled engine was rated up to 650HP at one time. Dam good engine. I truly believe the engines installation makes a great difference on the owners satisfaction on these and most other engines. If you can not reach a service point, IMO it is a bad install and not a fault of the engine. If you are shopping for a yacht, please consider how you and/or a service tech can reach and service the power plants. The 8.3L Cummins is a dam good engine. Maintenance points are all over it. My point of view comes from the yacht management and service. Sadly, I have not owned this power in my own boats. Keep us up on what you are finding and looking for.

Agree with Capt Ralph , they all look and perform on test bed at the manufacturers and sure look good at static boat show stands . I would go as far as saying 1/2 the ensuring customer satisfaction is from the instal . This can be split into access to service, can you get around it = easily? furthermore the whole propping , displacement of the thing .Yes I know the manufacturers sign them off in hull #1 .But toss in cruising stores , seasonal growth on top of a bit of collusion by both manufacturers and boat builder to achieve a headline grabbing set of performance figures in said hull #1 tests , then in the real world a bad instal can trash a good solid engine before the first 1000 hrs are ever reached . So basically it’s over simplistic to call a base engine sat in its create good or dud. It all depends …….Turn it around its not a bad engine , they all aren’t. They don’t start out bad.
