History
Riva, a name synonymous with elegance, luxury, and impeccable craftsmanship, has been at the forefront of high-quality speedboat production since the 1950s. The roots of the Riva legacy trace back to the 1840s in Sarnico, a small town in northern Italy, where Pietro Riva began crafting boats. His grandson, Carlo Riva, would go on to define the brand and elevate it to legendary status. In the 1950s, Carlo Riva revolutionized the boat-building industry by creating elegant wooden speedboats that embodied superior style and quality. His boats quickly became iconic, combining cutting-edge design with unmatched performance. Among the many models, the Riva Aquarama stood out as the company’s flagship, becoming a symbol of wealth, prestige, and power. This stunning vessel wasn’t just a boat—it was a social statement, epitomizing the glamour and sophistication of the era. Drawing inspiration from the Aquarama, the Riva Rivarama emerged as a superior open cruiser and a design masterpiece in its own right. At 44 feet, the Rivarama boasts an exceptional level of craftsmanship and luxurious features, showcasing Riva’s commitment to using the finest materials. Powered by a MAN R6-800 CRM engine with 800 horsepower, the 17-ton Rivarama can reach speeds of up to 40 knots per hour, offering both thrilling performance and unrivaled comfort.
