Riva Aquariva

Onboard the Riva Aquariva

The Riva Aquariva carries the marque's signature into a fully practical ten-metre package: a low, glossy mahogany deck underfoot, a cockpit shaped for conversation rather than crowding, and a hull that settles into a smooth plane once the throttles open. Cruising near 41 knots, she covers open water quickly, which matters as much for comfort as for saving time on a short charter day.

With space for eight guests, she suits a couple bringing family along for an afternoon, or a small circle of friends wanting to reach a quieter stretch of coast without waiting on a slower boat. A single cabin below deck gives room to change or step out of the sun, though the yacht is built around her deck and cockpit rather than for staying aboard overnight.

Because she is a day-charter yacht rather than a live-aboard, booking her is a simple matter of choosing a starting point along the coast and a return time — a few hours for a run out to a bay and back, or a full day split between a swim stop and a slower cruise home as the light changes. Her size and speed make her a practical choice for guests who want mobility and a sense of occasion without the scale of a larger crewed yacht.
