The Festival International de la Plaisance 2006 edition has started yesterday in Cannes and will host pleasure boating lovers from all over the world until 18th September. For Riva, the nautical year 2006/2007 has begun in the best possible way, presenting itself with four new models, an extraordinary result for the historical shipyard of Sarnico. Apart from already famous gems such as Aquariva, Rivarama, Rivale and 68’ Ego, they are exposed for the first time in a boat show: the Shuttle, the 30 footers tender which represent another step forward for the shipyard; the 63’ Vertigo, the latest Riva open, as usual a masterpiece of design, the 75’ Venere, the elegant fly launched last May in La Spezia; and the 85’ Opera Super, an innovative restyling of the model that used to be the admiral of the shipyard until 2005. The four novelties that entered the production this year enlarge the Riva fleet that includes now 10 models from 30 to 115 feet. (See more images in the Photo Gallery)
