On the used market, the yacht is a sought-after collector’s item, as only a limited number (about 10 units) of this model was produced. Used Riva Antalya 43 models are usually priced around 110.000.-EUR, depending on condition and equipment. Because of their rarity – an estimated 10 units were built – the boats are scarce worldwide.

The Riva shipyard, founded in 1842 by Pietro Riva on Lake Iseo in Sarnico, is considered a pioneer in the development of motor yachts. After Riva initially built high-quality sailing boats in its early years, it turned to the combustion engine and thus established the Riva motorboats.

After the First World War, Serafino Riva shaped the brand with a distinctive style and turned it from a merchant vessel builder into a motorboat builder. In the 1920s and 1930s, Riva achieved records and triumphs at national and international motorboat competitions. In the 1950s, under Carlo Riva, the brand rose to world fame and became the coveted choice of aristocrats, athletes, businesspeople and film stars. Carlo presented iconic wooden yachts such as the Ariston, Tritone and Sebino, thereby paving the way for series production.

In collaboration with designer Giorgio Barilani, Riva refined its style in 1956, which culminated in the legendary Aquarama in 1962. This masterpiece became a symbol of Riva and Italian style, achieves high prices and is still a sought-after collector’s item today.

In 1969, Riva began manufacturing fibreglass boats for some models, marking a significant change. After the takeover by Whittaker in 1969 and later by Vickers in 1988, Riva continued its success story with the production of GRP boats and influenced the designs of other renowned yacht builders.

The production of wooden boats continued until 1996 and ended with the Aquarama Special. Riva’s stylistic influence, however, is still noticeable in modern sports boats today.

In 2000, the Ferretti Group added Riva to its portfolio, thus ensuring the continuation of the traditional history of this legendary Italian yacht builder.
