Riva Aquariva

Onboard the Riva Aquariva

Riva Aquariva keeps the low, glossy silhouette that made the Riva name recognisable from a distance — a ten-metre hull finished with a mahogany deck that catches the light at almost any hour. At close to 41 knots she moves fast enough to turn a short hop into the highlight of the day, and the cockpit stays low and open, built for eight guests who want to be part of the ride rather than tucked away below.

A typical afternoon out of Porto Cervo might mean tracing the coast toward Porto Rotondo and Cala di Volpe, covering the distance in a fraction of the time a larger yacht would need, then slowing for a swim before the light turns gold. That same speed makes her a natural pick for a short sunset run, out along the coast and back before the marina fills for the evening.

With one cabin below, Riva Aquariva suits couples, small families or a tight group of friends after a fast, good-looking boat for a few hours rather than a multi-day passage. She works well as a stand-alone day charter, or as the quick, playful counterpart to a larger yacht already booked out of Porto Cervo or Olbia.
