An unforgettable night on the shores of Lake Iseo with the extraordinary Riva Private World Première, during which four new yachts were unveiled at the storied Sarnico shipyard in front of a carefully selected and enthusiastic audience of international owners and guests.

The stars of the evening event were the four magnificent premières ready to give all enthusiasts something to dream about: Aquariva Special, Riva Cento, Riva 58' Capri and Iseo Super.

Born and built at the Sarnico shipyard, the new boats made their debut in a spectacular night-time parade on the lake led by Riva Iseo Super, the 27-foot runabout with the same innovative design heritage as Riva El-Iseo - the brand's first full electric boat presented in 2024 - which renews the Riva Iseo legend with new technology and style solutions.

The second debut was the Aquariva Special, the only 'Special' since the Aquarama. This iconic yacht, which has been in production for an incredible 24 years, has been given a refined restyling by Officina Italiana Design, the studio that has been designing Riva boats on an exclusive basis for over 30 years, with expert brushstrokes that have given some of the stylistic features and the design language a more contemporary feel, without affecting their core identity.

Next up was the limited-edition Riva Cento, created to celebrate the 100th unit of the Rivamare 38', one of the brand's most beloved models. The main features include new functional and style details - such as the leather-coloured cushions and the beach area with chaise longues and a retractable gangway - pointing up the yacht's elegance and further enhancing the experience on board.

Bringing the parade to a close was the new Riva 58' Capri, the first model in the new sport open yacht generation, which brings together performance and maximum comfort while retaining the range's sporty and elegant DNA, combining it with a sleek, more sculpted and contemporary design.

"This night of incomparable beauty will live on in the history of the Sarnico shipyard. Four Riva in one night are an absolute delight and the happiest of events for everyone who loves yachting and Italian excellence. I can't wait for Aquariva Special, Riva Cento, Riva 58' Capri and Iseo Super to spark the same excitement in yacht enthusiasts that I felt tonight with all our friends and guests at this incredible Private World Première. And because beauty begets beauty, we also admired the flyover of the new Gulfstream G650 with interiors designed by Riva, another magnificent result of the collaboration with Flexjet, our top-tier private aviation partner," commented Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi.

Another great success was the immersive live music show created by Paris-based agency Inspiration Music & Arts, with artistic direction by Jimmy Bitton, which transformed the Riva shipyard into a theatre under the stars. The fine food and wine experience created by the Alajmo brothers treated guests to a sensory journey through haute cuisine and creativity. JLR brand Range Rover, the event's automotive partner, showcased several models, testifying to the affinity between two brands with a shared commitment to innovation and timeless style.

The evening event sealed the partnership between Ferretti Group and Flexjet, a global leader in private aviation, a year on from the signing of the agreement that launched the collaboration between the two brands under a banner of excellence and uncompromising performance. The celebrations began on the morning of June 26 with the presentation to the press of the new Gulfstream G650, Flexjet's exclusive ultra-long-range private jet, and the Sikorsky S-76 helicopter, both fitted out for the first time with "Riva Volare" interiors inspired by the iconic Riva yachts. The event took place at Milano Prime Linate Airport, in the hangar recently built for Flexjet's sister company and aircraft management and maintenance provider Sirio, by SEA Prime - the leading Italian and European business and general aviation infrastructure manager, operating under the brand Milano Prime. Crowning the Private World Première the Gulfstream G650 soared above the shipyard, the perfect symbol of the synergy between sky and sea.
