Sunset over Lake Garda on a Riva boat
Where is Lake Garda at its best? – On the lake itself. On a Riva boat. Stylish motorboats of particular beauty have been built in the Riva boatyard since 1842. The boat creations by Riva are a contemporary legend and represent exquisite nautical design made in Italy. Riva boats have made film history several times. In 1954, Silvana Mangano and Vittorio Gassmann were on board in the film “Mambo”. Kirk Douglas docked in Montecarlo under the flashlights of the photographers.
Alain Delon maneuvered Brigitte Bardot and Claudia Cardinale with French coolness over the water and Anita Ekberg sunbathed her Swedish dream body on a Riva boat. George Clooney, Justin Timberlake, Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci, Blake Lively and Emma Suarez are also enthusiastic about Riva boats. And you?
