Sleek lines and swift runs along sunlit coastlines

Riva Aquariva carries the marque's signature look almost unchanged: a mahogany deck running the length of the cockpit, low varnished lines, and a helm position built for someone who wants to feel the boat rather than simply steer it. At ten metres, she seats eight guests comfortably around an open, sun-exposed layout, with a cruising speed near 41 knots that makes short hops between coves feel effortless rather than rushed.
She suits a single, well-planned day on the water rather than a multi-stop itinerary: a fast run out from the coast, an hour or two anchored off a quiet bay for swimming, and a return before the light turns gold. Her speed means guests can cover real distance along a coastline in an afternoon without losing the leisurely feel that a Riva is built around.
With one cabin below, Aquariva is configured for day charter rather than overnight cruising, which makes her a practical choice for couples, small groups of friends, or a short celebration on the water. Bookings are typically arranged by the half-day or full day, and because the layout is simple and open, guest numbers and timing can be confirmed quickly against the boat's eight-guest limit.
