Riva Cannes Yachting Festival 2025

Riva at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival: Four Premieres and Two Design Trophies

On one of the world’s most prestigious yachting stages — the Cannes Yachting Festival — Riva once again showed why it is rightly considered a byword for elegance, innovation, and impeccable design. With four premieres and two prestigious awards, the brand confirmed its excellent form, while El Iseo, the brand’s first electric model, discreetly greeted visitors at the entrance, signaling a more sustainable future

Aquariva Special

The legend of the day-boat class, Aquariva Special, appeared in a refreshed edition. A new bow navigation-light design, a completely redesigned double-curved glass windscreen, a wider stern swim platform, and new cushion palettes bring subtle yet meaningful updates that preserve the spirit of the original. Instrumentation is analog as standard, with a digital setup available on request.

Riva Cento — limited edition of Rivamare

An exclusive edition of the Rivamare model, celebrating the build of the 100th unit. Riva Cento retains the elegant DNA of the original while introducing innovations such as an integrated stern handrail, a new cushion palette (biscuit or aquamarine/white), and a thoughtfully engineered beach area with chaise longue, storage for fenders and Seabobs, and a retractable gangway. In the central area, covered by a bimini top incorporated into the C-shaped sofa, the living area can be converted into a spacious sunpad via an electrically adjustable up-down table, while below deck a bright dinette transforms into a double berth.

Riva 58’ Capri

A new-generation sport open, Riva 58’ Capri evolves the 56’ Rivale platform and draws on the design language of the successful 68’ Diable. It features a contemporary, sporty look with a fixed hard top covering the entire main deck and a retractable electric bimini top for effortless shade management. The interior is designed for maximum comfort, with three cabins (two for guests and one for crew). The garage can house a Williams 325 tender or a Williams 285 TurboJet plus a Seabob.

Riva 112’ Dolcevita Super

A next-generation flybridge yacht delivering even more space, elegance, and direct contact with the sea. When the side bulwarks swing out to form side terraces, the aft area expands to 59 m², within which the beach club itself occupies 35 m², while the flybridge—about 60 m²—offers a relaxation area with freestanding furniture, a cocktail bar, a concealed TV, and a centrally positioned sofa. The master suite gains larger side windows and a walk-in wardrobe, and the main lounge is offered in two different layouts.

LOA: 34.37 m | Beam: 7.27 m | Engines: 2 × MTU 16V 2000 M96L (2,638 mhp) (option: 2 × MTU 16V 2000 M97L (2,638 mhp) with SCR system) | Maximum speed: 25.5 knots | Cruising speed: 23 knots
