On the occasion of Boot 2025, the Riva 82‘ Diva was awarded ’Best Custom Yacht of the Year ‘ at the Motor Boat Awards, organised during the BOOT Düsseldorf show by Motor Boat & Yachting.

Designed by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, of Officina Italiana Design, in collaboration with the Strategic Product Committee and the Ferretti Group engineering department , the Riva 82' Diva is 25.29 metres long and has a maximum beam of 6.08 metres. This model offers design solutions designed to combine functionality and comfort.

The main saloon, for example, separates the living and dining areas thanks to an interplay of heights, without the need for partitions. Large windows offer an unobstructed view of the horizon, reinforcing the feeling of openness.

The jury highlighted a number of the Riva 82‘ Diva’s strengths, in particular the size of the outdoor areas, designed to allow passengers to take full advantage of their surroundings. The finishes and layout of the spaces are designed to meet users' expectations in terms of comfort and user-friendliness.

This award underlines Riva's approach to designing personalised yachts, with a focus on design, use of space and experience at sea. The Riva 82' Diva is part of this approach, responding to the demand for functional, well-designed models.
