Mr. Carlo Riva undertook significant projects both in Holland and at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>. At the time, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> was already renowned for its bespoke, full-custom superyacht builds. Among these were projects like the 30-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vespucci30.5m (100'1&quot;)CRN1978">Vespucci</a> and others ranging from 22 to 40-metres. During the 60s and 70s, yachts of this size were considered what we call superyachts today, thus making it more of a re-entry into the larger segment of superyacht construction.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260187/image/large-868d2ae4accbc207a4324c3e0115a63b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260187">Moreover, I mention this in part because my return to the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> in 2014 marked my second tenure with the company, my initial stint having been with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A.

A pivotal part of this strategy was leveraging our unique asset, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>, which is geared for full-custom yacht construction — a rarity in Italy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260186/image/large-6c5cef4ace8cf3433efc3d6d7663d286.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260186">Typically, our process involves in-house designers who generally prefer a standardised platform for construction.

The collaboration aligns perfectly with our capabilities and past achievements, ensuring that everything matches up seamlessly.Mr. Galassi was enthusiastic about the idea, exclaiming, “You know what we're going to do? We're going to approach Carlo Riva and propose building a 50-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>”. Filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension, we presented our plan to Mr. Riva. I was somewhat anxious that he might dismiss our proposal as a mistake. To my relief, his response was encouraging. He said, “I don't understand why it took so long for someone to come forward with this idea.” I believe it was a natural progression for us to return to constructing yachts of that size, given <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A.

To this end, we offer a wide range of design solutions, meticulously crafted by our designers, to ensure each interior reflects the unique preferences of its owner.Our approach simplifies the decision-making process for our clients. Those who choose <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A.

With the relaunch of our Flybridge series—from the Corsaro 100’ to the 102’ Corsaro Super, the 110’ Dolcevita, the 90’ Argo, and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A.

(Company)">Riva</a> 'box.' Within this framework, clients have extensive options to personalise their yachts. They can select furniture and fixtures that significantly alter the interior, ensuring each yacht is unique. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312389/image/large-31078a38b29c4a179c7023ca5a007cd0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312389">Additionally, if an owner engages with us early in the process, they can select their preferred woods, fabrics, and linings. This customisation not only enhances the enjoyment of the design process but also ensures each yacht truly reflects its owner’s taste. At our shipyard in La Spezia, we have established three new showrooms, each filled with the most luxurious and sought-after materials available in the market, to inspire and facilitate these choices.How has the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>&nbsp;brand evolved under your tenure?Since joining <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> in 2014, the transformation of the range has been substantial, with the Aquariva being the only model remaining from that time. We have revitalised what I refer to as the 'little jewels' — boats up to 50 feet — introducing models such as the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> 38 Rivamare, the Dolceriva, and the 56’ Rivale. Additionally, we've reimagined the Iseo into the El-Iseo electric and introduced special editions like the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> Anniversario.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312278/image/large-26dc9f14d7723efbf9a86996646898d7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312278">Our expansion didn’t stop there; we've also advanced into the sport flybridge range, launching the 76’ Perseo and evolving the 88’ Domino into the 88’ Folgore, a completely new design that has become a resounding success, with over 70 units sold in the last decade. Despite a few challenges, we've pioneered in areas previously unexplored by others, such as creating the first completely open 88 feet yacht with a convertible-like roof system on the 76’ Bahamas.These innovations underscore our brand as not only classic but also cutting-edge. Furthermore, we've reinvested in the Flybridge range, a crucial move given our historical context. This led to the development of a new range including models from 90 to 130 feet, which has proven successful and reaffirmed <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>'s leadership in the industry. Our competitors have tried to challenge us, but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>’s unique blend of heritage and innovation keeps us at the forefront. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> is more than a brand; it's a standard in luxury that others strive to match. Our ability to infuse each boat with unmatched quality — exemplified by features like solid mahogany elements — allows us to command a premium that reflects the true cost of such craftsmanship.&nbsp;Managing such an iconic brand comes with immense responsibility. Every decision can significantly impact its legacy, and it's a privilege to lead <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> during this dynamic period of growth and innovation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312290/image/large-a0219887280559d2cb01d4bd6cc9e47a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312290"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>&nbsp;is a historical brand; how have you balanced heritage and innovation in the design and technological aspect? Balancing heritage with innovation at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> begins with our design philosophy. Design is central to the essence of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>; it must embody beauty. Our lead designers, Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/366" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Officina Italiana Design (Mauro Micheli) (Company)">Officina Italiana Design</a>, have been instrumental over the past two decades. Micheli, in particular, was hired in 1984 as an assistant designer in the engineering department at the Sarnico Yard, and has masterfully blended what he learned from predecessors like Carlo Riva and Barilani into contemporary designs. Micheli is a true artist, and his ability to synthesise <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>'s historical and cultural heritage into new designs has been crucial. He has not only preserved <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>'s iconic lines but has also adapted them to meet modern demands.&nbsp;A prime example is the Rivarama, a 44-footer launched in 2002, which was unlike anything previously seen. Although it might remind some of the Aquariva, the Rivarama introduced a completely new class of boat that many have since attempted to emulate. Like Porsche, which has successfully transitioned classic designs into the modern era while maintaining its distinctive appeal, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> too has evolved while preserving its identity.&nbsp;This evolution extends beyond design to encompass technology. Our technical department, a direct descendant of the teams that built boats in the 1960s, continues to grow and innovate. My own journey with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> started as an intern in 1998, and by 2002, I was learning directly from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a>’s technical experts as a naval engineer. This experience underpins our approach: marrying heritage with cutting-edge technology and trends, ensuring that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> not only remains true to its roots but also leads in contemporary yacht design and construction.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311769/image/large-3054e63c416f67adcd42586fd401811e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311769">Are there any upcoming projects or initiatives you can share?There are many exciting projects and initiatives underway. Unfortunately, as a public company, I am restricted to discussing only those that are already public. However, I can confirm that several projects are progressing well. Over the last decade, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A.

So, stay tuned, our mission is far from complete.
