The Riva story is all about the unique, inimitable savoir-faire that is the secret of its winning beauty and style today and has always been from the very beginning. It was 1842, and on Lake Iseo, a sudden storm had devastated the fishing fleet. Yet a young shipwright was working wonders, restoring many of the vessels to full seagoing health and earning the local people’s respect and admiration in the process. And so the Riva legend was born and, with it, that of Pietro Riva, who took his destiny in his hands the moment he arrived in the little town of Sarnico. Here, he opened the yard where he would launch the first Riva creations, craft of outstanding personality and class even then. Riva rapidly gained an excellent reputation, and the yard continued to flourish under Pietro’s son Ernesto, who introduced boats powered by internal combustion engine. The era of the large passenger and cargo boats on the lake had arrived. After World War I, it was Serafino Riva who gave the firm its definitive stamp, transforming the yard’s prestigious products into a genuine brand that would make yachting history. Production shifted from transport vessels to motorboats, still an embryonic market in those days. In the late ’20s and early ’30s, Riva’s racing yachts swept all before them, claiming countless wins and records in national and international competitions. The ’50s belonged to Carlo Riva, whose talent and passion turned the brand into one of the brightest stars in the nautical firmament, as Riva boats seduced the celebrities of the day and acquired the status of design and lifestyle icons. In this decade of Italian industrial revolution, L’Ingegnere, as Carlo Riva was known, tapped into the predominant ethos – the lionisation of speed – with a series of wood-based designs of unmistakable verve. From 1956, he began to collaborate with designer and architect Giorgio Barilani. And in November 1962, the legend was born: Aquarama. Her magical lines and irresistible allure made her an instant classic – the Riva icon, “the boat” par excellence, a brand within a brand. Another historic milestone arrived in 1969, when the company began making vessels from fibreglass. Riva’s first two composite models were the day cruiser Bahia Mar 20′ and the cabin cruiser Sport Fisherman 25′; others would follow over the next three decades, notably the St. Tropez and the Superamerica, the first cabin cruiser on a grand scale. Even as fibreglass gained ground, Riva continued to make wooden runabouts until 1996, when the final Aquarama Special, no. 784, was built. Disillusioned by the climate of industrial unrest, Carlo Riva sold the yard to the US concern Whittaker in September 1969, although he stayed on as Chairman and General Manager, handing over the reins in July 1971 to his brother-in-law Gino Gervasoni, his partner since 1950. In 1989, a year after the Riva company was fully bought out by the British group Vickers, Gervasoni’s 41-year association with the yard came to an end, bringing down the curtain on the Riva family era. Then at the 1991 Genoa Boat Show, Riva unveiled the first yacht designed by Mauro Micheli – the 58′ Bahamas.
