Ancona, July 17, 2025
With superb dimensions of 38.76 meters in length and a beam of 8.00 meters, the Custom Line Navetta 38 embodies sophistication and style. It merges the visionary insights from Ferretti Group's Product Strategy and Engineering teams with the artistic genius of architect Filippo Salvetti for the exterior, while the interiors bloom under the creative direction of ACPV ARCHITECTS, led by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel.
From the very start, the owner family immersed themselves in the process, appreciating the meticulous attention to detail that defines the Custom Line ethos. Their vision transformed into reality through the dedicated efforts of Custom Line Atelier, where architects collaborated closely with the family to curate a space that reflects their unique taste. The goal was clear: to create a sanctuary that harmonizes sophisticated design with comfortable liveability while ensuring a seamless connection to the water. One of the standout features is the Main Deck lounge, where striking mirror panels adorn the ceiling, creating an illusion of expansive space while preserving the grace of traditional aesthetics. These thoughtful design elements—coupled with generous floor-to-ceiling windows—invite natural light to dance through the interiors, establishing a flawless transition between the indoor and outdoor realms. The galley, too, became a canvas for creativity and functionality, as the owners envisioned it as a vibrant gathering space. With deep cupboards designed for efficiency yet harmonizing with the space’s beauty, this area radiates warmth and inviting charm, enhanced by the captivating views that the extensive glazing provides.
Crafted to accommodate large groups with ease, the Custom Line Navetta 38 shines through its choice of materials—durable yet elegant. The Botticino Semi Classico marble in the master bathroom exemplifies this ethos, blending understated luxury with unmatched resilience. The interior design strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication, showcasing a harmonious palette of beiges complemented by striking mocha and brown accents. Natural materials such as teak, oak, and leather enrich the ambiance, while soft, luminous wallpaper graces the walls, creating an environment that exudes understated refinement.
As the Custom Line Navetta 38 embarks on her maiden voyage, she is not just a yacht; she is a testament to the art of craftsmanship and a celebration of personalized luxury, destined to create unforgettable moments on the water.

NEW RIVA ISEO SUPER
TH NEW STYLE OF ELEGANCE
'The new version of the famous 27-foot runabout was given her world premiere at BOOT Düsseldorf 2025'
 |
The new Riva Iseo Super, which made her world premiere at BOOT Düsseldorf 2025, embodies the perfect combination of heritage and innovation. Evolving the successful model launched in 2011, this 27-foot runabout features Riva's hallmark timeless elegance, combined with technology and style solutions that refresh the legend.
The result of the same innovative design approach that created Riva El-Iseo – the brand’s first full electric boat presented exactly a year ago at BOOT Düsseldorf 2024 – the new Iseo Super enriches the range of open yachts under 9 metres, offering engine solutions to meet the needs of every owner: from the silent elegance of electric motors to the power of internal combustion propulsion systems.
Like all Riva creations in the last thirty years, the new Riva Iseo Super is penned by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, the studio that exclusively designs all Riva yachts, working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee chaired by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
Iseo Super expresses the refinement running through all Riva models, from the most compact runabouts to 70-metre-plus superyachts: every line and detail reflect master craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, from the high-gloss mahogany covering the deck and stern platform to the sophisticated new hull colour, Vulcan Grey, which joins the brand’s exclusive palette.
An elegant 27-foot (8.24 m) runabout with a maximum beam of 2.5 m, the new Riva Iseo Super has the signature style features of the models to which the brand owes its iconic status – such as the high-gloss striped mahogany treated with 24 coats of varnish, the steel detailing in the form of the side grilles, and the aquamarine waterline – in perfect harmony with various new developments that improve both on-board liveability and cruising performance. The windscreen has been completely renewed and is now produced with the typical counter-curvature that has become one of the most recognisable features of Riva boats, giving the yacht a dynamic, spirited look.
The design of the helm station is modern and linear too, with a 9-inch Volvo Penta chartplotter display for navigation, placed in a symmetrical position between the analogue helm to the right and the storage compartment to the left; the helm is also available in a digital version with a 12-inch Böning screen. Under the storage compartment – which also contains a USB socket, an SD reader and the sound system control panel – is the drawer fridge, while there’s a large locker for the fenders under the plotter.
The new features in the cockpit are a completely redesigned dinette that’s larger than the previous version, thanks to clever optimisation of the space behind the helm station: the new design features an elegant U-shaped sofa, upholstered in waterproof Sky fabric coordinated with the hull colour chosen by the owner. The sofa is integrated with an electric up-down table that can be hidden under the cushions when not in use, becoming an integral part of the seat. On the opposite side, another storage area maximises the space available. Behind the sofa back is the stowable hand-operated bimini top, while the engine room is in the stern under the sunpad upholstered in the same Sky fabric as the dinette cushions.
Riva Iseo Super retains the traditional sterndrive propulsion system and is fitted with a hydraulic gearbox that improves the engine sound by eliminating noisy gear changes. In the standard version, Riva Iseo Super is equipped with a Volvo Penta D4-300A engine – a diesel unit delivering 300 HP (221 kW) at 3,500 rpm – paired with an Aquamatic DP-I duoprop sterndrive that powers Iseo to a cruising speed of 33 knots and a top speed of 38 knots (preliminary data). Two optional petrol engines are available as an alternative: Volvo Penta V8 350 CE – 355 HP (261 kW) at 5,800 rpm – paired with a high-performance DP-S duoprop sterndrive (cruising speed 36 knots and top speed 41 knots), and Volvo Penta V8 – 305 HP (224 kW) at 5,800 rpm – also with the DP-S duoprop sterndrive, which complies with Lake Constance requirements and powers Iseo Super to a cruising speed of 33 knots and a top speed of 38 knots (preliminary data). For maximum stabilization underway, Riva Iseo Super has autotrim control for the sterndrive engine and a Zipwake interceptor for trim correction.
Another innovative solution available to owners of this fantastic runabout is the boat cover based on automotive design to ensure maximum hull protection. The cover is made from double-layer waterproof technical material, which has an external layer to protect against the weather and a breathable wool inner layer that absorbs moisture and keeps the boat in optimum conditions when moored.

RIVA 82’ DIVA WINS “BEST CUSTOM YACHT OF THE YEAR”
PRESTIGIOUS MOTORBOAT AWARDS 2025
'Praised by the jury as a “beautifully designed and masterfully crafted yacht'
 |
Riva 82' Diva is in the spotlight after winning “Best Custom Yacht of the Year” prize at the prestigious Motor Boat Awards, organised by Motor Boat & Yachting during BOOT Düsseldorf. This major prize confirms the success of the latest model in Riva’s flybridge range, a yacht as beautiful as she is innovative, and the new concept of interior and exterior spaces she embodies.
Like all recent Riva yachts, Riva 82’ Diva is penned by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. With a length overall of 25.29 metres and a maximum beam of 6.08 metres, 82’ Diva offers a new take on the interiors, which feature new design solutions that combine function, comfort and style, such as the stunning salon, where the living and dining areas are separated optically by a play of different heights that bestows intimacy without ever actually dividing the two settings, and the large windows offering an unbroken view of the horizon.
Praised by the jury as a “beautifully designed and masterfully crafted” yacht, Riva 82’ Diva is a genuine masterpiece of style, offering unforgettable moments at sea thanks not least to the exclusive and elegant convivial spaces. The features the jury appreciated most include the unprecedented size of the outdoor areas, designed to offer guests exclusive contact with the water and let them rediscover the pleasure in every moment on board. The spacious lounge area forward, the generous and innovative stern beach club – featuring two large wings that swing down to create lateral terraces, increasing the width of the area by over 3 metres – and the magnificent 40-square-metre flybridge, one of the most spacious in the category, ensure a cruising experience characterised by total comfort, conviviality and relaxation.
With this award, Riva 82’ Diva confirms that the model sets a benchmark for flybridge yachts in this category, achieving the perfect balance between function, comfort and design.

The new contract, which runs until 2030, was signed in the ‘Plancia’ or ‘Bridge’, the office at Riva’s Sarnico shipyard once used by Carlo Riva himself.

THE NEW RIVA EL-ISEO
RIVA EL-ISEO: THE 1ST MODEL IN RIVA'S E-LUXURY SEGMENT
Full electric sustainability and unmistakable style.
 |
Like all Riva creations, the new Riva El-Iseo was penned by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
“Riva’s great strength, right from the outset, has been its ability to rise to and win the design challenges faced over the years, by combining its craftsmanship and know-how with new technologies. Riva El-Iseo isn’t only the world’s most beautiful full-electric powerboat, but also proof that investing in research and development opens up new paths to sustainability and environmental awareness,” explained Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi. “Riva El-Iseo is also the first model in its segment to obtain Rina Category B certification, a further endorsement that Riva is at the forefront of yachting safety too.”
Riva El-Iseo is a 27-foot (8.40 m) runabout with a maximum beam of 2.5 m and elegant and sophisticated lines, just like the much-loved and versatile Iseo from which it inherited the hull design. On board, Riva’s two souls are clear to see: the stylistic details typical of boats that have made the brand famous all over the world, such as the polished mahogany of the deck and stern platform, the stainless steel detailing of the lateral grills and the refined sky fabric cushions, go hand in hand with the modern and linear design of the bridge, creating a contrast between traditional and contemporary that sums up the very concept of the boat. The deck, cockpit and helm station feature a completely new design, while the colour of the first hull is a novel one for Riva, a California Sky Blue that marries perfectly with the elegant aquamarine beauty line featured on all boats in the Riva range.
Riva El-Iseo is the first full electric powerboat to obtain RINA B Category certification (boats designed for wind force up to and including 8 and significant wave height of 4 metres and above), which is rarely granted to open type boats on account of both their size and configuration.
PROPULSION
Riva El-Iseo retains the traditional stern-drive propulsion system and has a Parker GVM310 full-electric engine from Parker Hannifin, the world-leading motion and control technology multinational based in the US, offering unprecedented performance in terms of speed and acceleration. With a power output of 250 kW, peaking at 300 kW, the Parker GVM310 delivers a cruising speed of 25 knots and a self-limited top speed of 40 knots, with an acceleration curve significantly steeper than that of a similarly sized boat powered by an internal combustion engine.
For maximum stabilization underway, El-Iseo has autotrim control for the stern-drive engine and a Zipwake interceptor for trim correction.
BATTERIES
El-Iseo is fitted with a high-energy-density lithium battery pack supplied by Podium Advanced Technologies, a leading innovative engineering company specialised in batteries, automotive design and motorsport. More efficient, extremely light and up to 10 times longer-lasting than lead-acid technology, Riva El-Iseo’s 150 kWh, 800 V batteries have two charging modes, normal and fast, for charging from 20% to 80% in 75 minutes. The charging ports are located under the steel grille on the port side. The battery pack has a “Redundant Design Configuration”, with two independent blocks to ensure that the failure of one of the two blocks doesn’t put the operation of the entire pack at risk.
During development, there was a razor-sharp focus on on-board safety and the numerous measures identified during the Risk Assessment also contributed to El-Iseo’s RINA Category B certification. First and foremost, the batteries are sealed and liquid-cooled, the most efficient system for rapid heat transfer. They are also located at the forward end of the engine room under the bimini-top compartment between the dinette and the stern sunpad, ensuring easy access and inspection. Finally, the batteries have extra thermal insulation in the form of technologically advanced cladding inside the GRP panel that provides access to the compartment. This material with excellent fire resistance performance compared to its extremely light weight (only 5 kg) is commonly used in the aerospace industry and consists of fibreglass panels that create an effective thermal shield against flames. A gas sensor is also installed to detect leaks.
DASHBOARD AND CRUISING MODES
The fully digital dashboard has two touch screen displays from which all cruising and on-board system information can be controlled: a 9 or 12-inch Simrad chartplotter and a Böning 12-inch screen that indicate all battery state and cruising mode information. The design of the steering system and its integration with the on-board systems are the work of Xenta.
Riva El-Iseo has three cruising modes with names that pay tribute to tradition and take their inspiration from classical music: Adagio, Andante and Allegro.
Adagio is the ECO mode, designed to optimise cruising performance: maximum speed is 5 knots and acceleration is limited, reducing fuel consumption and maximising range to up to 10 hours of cruising. In Andante mode, cruising speed and acceleration are comparable to a typical yacht of similar length with an internal combustion engine, reaching a maximum planing speed of 25 knots. Allegro is the sport mode, in which the engine is unlimited and El-Iseo can reach a top speed of 40 knots with electrifying acceleration.
To maintain battery life, when the residual charge drops to 20% (a range of about 10 nautical miles), the boat automatically switches to Adagio regardless of the cruising mode selected, allowing the owner to conserve power and safely reach a mooring point or charging station.
Riva El-Iseo is the perfect fit for Ferretti Group’s sustainability path and launches the E-Luxury segment, which isn’t defined only by the type of propulsion, but also by the materials used and the production processes, as well as involving the Group’s suppliers. The new El-Iseo reflects the essence of Riva to perfection, combining the classic stylistic and aesthetic hallmarks of a brand that has made yachting history and constantly striving for innovation by introducing state-of-the-art technology.
Riva El-Iseo unveiled the first prototype in late 2022 at the Monaco Yacht Club, which was followed by complex tests in various conditions and environments, including participation in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge with the YCM E-Dock and the YCM E-Boat Rally, the nautical endurance event reserved for electric models.
