Aquariva Super yacht tender, which represents the most natural evolution of Riva style from past to present, has been celebrated with a real unveiling as a star at the Ferretti Group booth.
With its modern elegance and style, Aquariva Super has confirmed its success on all continents, just as the legendary Aquarama superyacht tender – now a cult yacht for collectors all over the world – did a few decades ago.
Aquariva Super is the result of a close working relationship between Officina Italiana Design, the studio that exclusively designs all yachts in the Riva range and the team of engineers and designers of the Ferretti Group.
“After the establishment of the Ferretti Group Asia Pacific Ltd., based in Hong Kong, and the participation at Hainan Rendez-Vous and China International Boat Show in Shanghai, we are very proud to continue our intense program of participation in major Asia Pacific events unveiling at the Qingdao Boat Show, Aquariva Super, the real ambassador of Riva all over the world,” said Ferruccio Rossi, Ferretti Group CEO.

Its soft, elegant lines reflect a taste for tradition, the valuable, beautifully carved wooden decks and leather trimmings of the dashboard and helm highlight the pleasure of sailing in a timeless classic offering unique, incomparable emotions and comfort.
The stainless steel details are master pieces of design: the air intake, the bow nose is hand-moulded on each boat. The search light is a hallmark of Riva made up of more than 200 parts. The mahogany deck realized with maple inserts obtained from solid wood is protected by 18 hands of varnish.
The automatic gear box with the electronic 2-speed control improves the acceleration at lower speed, cruise speed and optimizes the top speed.
The innovative, electronically-controlled, two speed gearbox reveals all the gritty passion of the two powerful 380 hp Yanmar motors featuring an exceptional performance: 41 knots of maximum speed and 36 of cruising speed.
