Four Riva Yachts in One Night: A Spectacular World Première in Sarnico

Aquariva Special, Riva Cento, Riva 58’ Capri, and Iseo Super —
four exceptional models debuted in one unforgettable evening at Riva’s historic shipyard on Lake Iseo.

On June 30, 2025, Riva hosted an exclusive Private World Première at its birthplace in Sarnico. The event gathered a select group of international owners, press, and industry insiders for a unique reveal of four new yachts, showcasing the brand’s continued evolution and timeless appeal.

Meet the New Riva Models

Iseo Super opened the night with a dramatic debut. This 27-foot runabout is a modern heir to the iconic Riva Iseo, blending classic elegance with forward-thinking design inspired by the fully electric El-Iseo.

Aquariva Special followed — the first Riva model to receive the “Special” title since the Aquarama. Updated by Officina Italiana Design, it carries over two decades of heritage, now with refined modern details that enhance its unmistakable character.

Then came Riva Cento, a limited-edition yacht marking the 100th Rivamare 38’ ever built. Featuring exclusive styling elements such as leather-tone cushions, a redesigned beach area with chaise longues, and a retractable gangway, Riva Cento is both a celebration and a collector’s dream.

The finale of the lake parade was the striking new Riva 58’ Capri — the first of a new generation of sport open yachts. It merges performance and comfort with sculpted, contemporary lines and all the DNA that defines the Riva name.

When Yachting Meets Aviation

The evening also featured the flyover of a Gulfstream G650, customized with Riva interiors as part of the ongoing collaboration between Ferretti Group and private aviation leader Flexjet.

Earlier that week, the new G650 and Sikorsky S-76 helicopter were presented at Milano Prime Linate Airport with interiors inspired by Riva’s iconic nautical style. The initiative, branded Riva Volare, is the first time the legendary yacht aesthetic has been brought to the skies.

An Immersive Luxury Experience

Beyond the unveilings, the evening offered an unforgettable atmosphere:

• Live music performances curated by Inspiration Music & Arts (Paris) under the creative direction of Jimmy Bitton
• Fine dining by the Alajmo brothers, delivering haute cuisine with Italian flair
• Range Rover, the official automotive partner, displayed their latest models, reinforcing the synergy of timeless design and innovation

A Message from Ferretti Group CEO

“Four new Riva yachts in one night — this is a celebration of beauty, craftsmanship, and the soul of Italian yachting,” said Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group.

“It was a joy to witness these masterpieces light up the night alongside the Gulfstream G650 — a perfect symbol of our partnership with Flexjet and a new era of lifestyle mobility. This night will forever be part of the history of Riva and Sarnico.”

The Legacy Continues

The Private World Première was more than a product launch — it was a powerful reminder of what Riva stands for: elegance, innovation, and Italian excellence. With new models on the water and new heights in the sky, the legend of Riva continues — beautifully.
