Riva Unveils the 96 Argo Super Luxury Yacht with Refined Italian Craftsmanship
Riva has introduced the first 96 Argo Super, expanding its celebrated flybridge collection with a luxury yacht that combines timeless Italian design, advanced technology, and sophisticated onboard living.
Built at the shipyard’s La Spezia facility, the new flagship evolves the renowned Argo family while embracing a fresh vision centred on comfort, elegance, and a stronger connection to the sea.
Designed by Officina Italiana Design in collaboration with the Ferretti Group Strategic Product Committee and Engineering Department, the yacht reflects three decades of design expertise dedicated to creating iconic luxury yachts.
A Luxury Yacht Inspired by Contemporary Italian Design
The new 96 Argo Super showcases Riva’s unmistakable design language through sleek proportions, flowing lines, and a refined aluminium profile.
Every detail has been thoughtfully developed to create a harmonious balance between performance and lifestyle. Expansive glazing throughout the yacht welcomes natural light into the interior, creating bright living spaces that celebrate the surrounding seascape.
The result is a luxury yacht that delivers elegance from every perspective while maintaining the signature character that defines the Riva brand.
Outdoor Living at the Heart of the Experience
The exterior spaces have been carefully redesigned to encourage life on the water.
At the stern, an innovative swim platform with an integrated lift system provides effortless access to the sea while creating an inviting waterfront lounge for owners and guests. The garage accommodates both a Williams 435 tender and a Jet Ski, ensuring every adventure begins with ease.
The cockpit has been arranged around generous seating areas with adjustable backrests, creating a relaxed environment for entertaining, alfresco dining, or enjoying panoramic coastal views.
Above, the spacious flybridge introduces a stylish bar, elegant dining tables finished in classic mahogany, and expansive social areas designed for unforgettable moments at sea.
Elegant Interiors Filled with Natural Light
Inside, the 96 Argo Super offers refined contemporary living inspired by Italian craftsmanship.
Owners can select from two salon configurations, allowing each yacht to reflect individual lifestyle preferences. The first hull features an elegant lounge positioned forward with a dedicated dining area aft, creating a seamless flow between relaxation and entertaining.
The full beam owner’s suite provides spectacular water views directly from the bedroom, while carefully selected materials including polished wengé wood, oak, and polished steel create an atmosphere of understated luxury.
Guest accommodation includes three beautifully appointed cabins, highlighted by a spacious full beam VIP suite that offers exceptional comfort for family and friends.
Advanced Technology Meets Everyday Comfort
The 96 Argo Super combines refined luxury with innovative onboard technology.
Twin MTU 12V M96X engines delivering 2,000 horsepower provide smooth and confident cruising, while advanced Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilisers enhance onboard comfort throughout every journey.
Additional technologies include the Watchit collision awareness system together with the X AID manoeuvring assistance and virtual anchoring system, delivering intuitive navigation and effortless yacht handling.
These intelligent systems complement the yacht’s elegant design while supporting a seamless ownership experience.
