The Classic Riva Heritage
The heritage underlying today’s Riva boat rental experience is rich and unique. It’s 1842 on the colorful Lake Iseo in Sarnico, Italy. This quintessential village is reliant on the fishing trade, but during this fateful winter disaster strikes. A devastating storm sweeps through the region 70 kilometers northeast of Milan, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Where once rested a beautiful medley of wooden fishing boats now lies a heartbreaking collection of damaged vessels and threatened livelihoods. Lake Iseo is in need of a miracle, and the young Pietro Riva steps up to deliver.
Variety of Riva Boat Rental Options
Committing countless hours to the task at-hand, driven by grit, passion and innate skill, Pietro Riva repaired most of the damaged boats and restored his countrymen’s incomes. This feat earned the young craftsman acclaim and propelled the Riva name into shipbuilding history. Since then, four generations of the Riva family have stood proudly at the helm. In the 1920s, Serafino Riva made the visionary decision to focus on pleasure crafts, before Carlo Riva’s leadership in the 1950s and 1960s really cemented the brand as the pedigree in luxury boat building. Associated with legendary film stars, world champion athletes and suave aristocracy, Riva embodies “La Dolce Vita”. Now, with 212 Yachts you can enjoy Riva boat rental on the French Riviera and across the Mediterranean. We are the industry leaders in luxury day boat rental on the Cote D’Azur, with an exciting fleet of Riva boat rental options:

Riva Rivamare 38′: Brand New Riva Cannes
Delivered in 2017, the Rivamare 38’ is the perfect option for Riva boat rental in Cannes. ‘Roxy’ is the very first Rivamare available for charter in France, available exclusively with 212 Yachts. Her striking shark grey hull is sure to turn heads. Complimented by delicate stylings including a chrome-plated horn, pinstriped Mahogany and stainless steel grilles. Despite her suave embodiment of classic Riva class, this Riva is delightfully modern. With twin 400 HP Volvo Penta engines, she can reach an impressive 40 knots. While her cruising speed of 31 knots offers great comfort and fuel efficiency. With joystick control, manoeuvrability is a dream, while captaining this vessel is enhanced with a sleek fiberglass cockpit and state-of-the-art touch-screen navigational equipment.
Comfort is paramount, seating up to 7 guests in a social deck layout. Which is protected from spray by the iconic wraparound windshield and large retractable bimini. To enjoy more sunbathing than the large aft sun-pads allow, the swimming platform reveals 2 additional sun-pads that neatly retract from the hull. The Riva Rivamare 38 is available for rental in Cannes. It truly embodies the “sun, sea, joie de vivre” lifestyle that Carlo Riva championed through the mid to late twentieth century.

Riva Yacht Charter
In 2000, The Ferretti Group acquired Riva. This move gave Riva the infrastructure to build larger yachts. With the shipyard’s first superyacht launch in 2010 in the beautiful form of the Riva 86’ Domino. A number of models are now available on the superyacht market, including the attractive 85’ Opera. And of course the yard’s flagship model, the Riva 116 Mythos, which was launched in 2015. Fortunately, there are several great options available for Riva yacht charter. Including several 85’ Operas and 86’ Dominos across the Mediterranean. A CRN Ancona, designed for Carlo Riva himself, is also available for charter on the French Riviera. That is after having enjoyed an extensive refit in 2018.
For Riva Yacht charter options, 212 Yachts service the entire Mediterranean. Including the French Riviera, Italy (Amalfi, Sardinia, Sicily, Portofino), the Balearics (Ibiza, Mallorca), Croatia, Greece and Turkey.
