About Riva

Premium production

Italian builder of luxury motor yachts, founded at Sarnico on Lake Iseo and a Ferretti Group brand.

In 1842, on Lake Iseo, the young shipwright Pietro Riva repaired the fishing boats wrecked by a storm, earned the respect of the locals and opened his yard at Sarnico. His son Ernesto fitted the first internal-combustion engines and built large boats to carry goods and passengers on the lake; after the First World War Serafino Riva turned production to motorboats, whose racing versions set records through the 1920s and 1930s. In the 1950s and 1960s Carlo Riva turned boat design into an art form with a series of wooden models -- Giorgio Barilani joined as designer in 1956 and the Aquarama, the legend, was created in 1962 -- and in 1969 the yard built its first fibreglass boats, the Bahia Mar 20' and Sport Fisherman 25'; wooden runabouts continued until the last Aquarama Special, number 784, in 1996. Carlo Riva sold the yard to the American firm Whittaker in September 1969 and stayed until 1971, and the family's involvement ended when Gino Gervasoni left in 1989. In 1991 the 58' Bahamas was the first boat by Mauro Micheli, and in May 2000 Riva was acquired by Ferretti Group; the first Aquariva followed soon after, and Officina Italiana Design, founded by Micheli and Sergio Beretta, designs the entire fleet.
