Builder profile
Riva
Riva is the most iconic name in Italian boating. Founded in 1842 in Sarnico on Lake Iseo, the marque became synonymous with wooden runabouts in the 1960s — Sophia Loren's Aquarama remains the most photographed motor yacht in history. Today, under Ferretti Group, Riva builds flagships up to 50 metres while staying faithful to the lacquered-mahogany aesthetic that defined it.
- Founded 1842 on Lake Iseo — over 180 years of heritage
- Sarnico shipyard maintains the brand's spiritual home
- Designs by Officina Italiana Design (Mauro Micheli)
Location intelligence
Croatia
Croatia's coast is, by reasonable measure, the best cruising ground in the Mediterranean: 1,244 islands and islets, four UNESCO sites, a marina every 30 nautical miles, and water clarity that makes even the Greek islands look murky. From the broker's perspective the Croatian market matured fast in the last decade — ACI Marinas standardised the infrastructure, Hrvatska Gospodarska Komora regulated brokerage, and Split-Trogir-Šibenik became the busiest yacht-sales triangle east of Genoa. Bareboat charter remains the volume game but second-hand brokerage of 12–25m motor and sailing yachts is now its own healthy market.
- Croatia's peak season is shorter than Italy's — mid-June to mid-September is when prices and charter demand both spike.
- Bora winds (from the north-east) build fast in shoulder season; the entire Kornati archipelago shelters from them.
- VAT and registration treatment for non-EU buyers is favourable when handled through a Maltese-flag arrangement.
