RIVA / Guétat

Riva - for motorboat lovers the sound of this name is equivalent to that of Farrari to car lovers.
And like the legendary sports cars from Italy, their meteoric rise began in the year 1950, also behind the "founding" of Riva is the exceptional Italian: Carlos Riva.

Riva succeeded in creating a veritable myth from a small family manufacturer: his superb motorboats of radiant mahogany have, with their elegance and timeless style, conquered the hearts of the rich and famous. Riva boats have become a synonym for the "jet set" - whether film stars or noble families, everyone wants to admire Saint-Tropez or Portofino on a Riva.
Famous names who have owned a Riva, have included Brigitte Bardot, Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, Prince Rainier from Monaco, Aristotle Onassis, and Peter Sellers.
