A real icon and valuable "antiques" in the Ferretti Group is shipyard Riva. Its beginnings date back to 1842, and it was Pietro Riva who first lent his surname to his boats. First repairing damaged boats later began to build his own models. His son Ernesto in 1880 began a new era - the era of motor boats. He was the first who installed a combustion engine in the boat. The year was 1912, when his sport boat Riva had reached a great speed of 24 km/h. Then came the division of activities for the construction of transport and cargo ships. More...
What position Riva brand currently occupies, is the result of the work that stands for Carlo Riva, who in 1950 joined with his ships Riva celebrities and the richest people of this planet.
