Riva Yachts for Sale

A composite yacht from around eight metres to about forty, or the fifty-metre flagship in steel and aluminium. The smaller models are built at Sarnico on Lake Iseo, where the yard has been since 1842, the larger composite ones at La Spezia and the fifty-metre flagship at Ancona. The cues from the mahogany runabouts survive in all of them: a low, taut profile, chrome that is polished steel, and joinery finished to a standard other yards quote against.

Yes, and you should. Viewings are arranged where the yacht is lying, which for much of the fleet means the Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean or Florida in winter, and they have to be fitted around her own movements and any charters she is running. Tell the Boatcrowd team which yachts you want to see and we will put the itinerary together.

VAT paid means European Union value added tax has been settled on the yacht and she can be used privately in EU waters without a further liability arising from that. VAT unpaid means it has not been settled, which suits a buyer who will keep the yacht outside the EU or import her under an arrangement of their own. The difference is a significant part of the asking price, so it is worth establishing before an offer is made. Where the seller has given us the status, it is printed on the listing.

You tell us which yacht interests you through the enquiry form on her listing. We confirm she is still available at the price shown, collect the documents the seller holds, and arrange a viewing wherever she is lying. From there the usual sequence is an offer subject to survey and sea trial, a deposit held in a client account, the survey and trial themselves, and then closing and registration. The Boatcrowd team coordinates each step and stays with you through it.
