Riva Aquariva

Onboard the Riva Aquariva

The Riva Aquariva carries the marque's signature look into a compact, 10-metre frame built for open-air running rather than static lounging. The mahogany deck is the first thing guests notice stepping aboard — warm, glossy timber underfoot that sets this apart from the fibreglass norm among day boats of similar size. With space for 8 guests and a single cabin below, it is built for a day on the water rather than nights aboard, and the layout keeps everyone close to the helm and the view rather than tucked into separate zones.

At a cruising speed of around 41 knots, the Aquariva covers ground quickly, which matters in the Bay of Palma where a short window between morning and lunch can still mean real distance. A run out toward Illetes or across toward Portopetro is well within reach for a half-day outing, and the yacht's size makes it easy to bring alongside a quiet cala for swimming without the draft concerns of larger vessels. It suits guests who want to be on the water and moving, not anchored for hours in one spot.

This is the right choice for couples, small groups of friends, or a compact corporate outing who want speed, style and manoeuvrability over cabin space and multi-day range. Eight guests is a natural ceiling for the boat's deck and seating, keeping the experience personal rather than crowded. Based out of Mallorca, the Riva Aquariva works best as a half-day or full-day charter — a fast, characterful way to see the coastline rather than a base for extended cruising.
