The Riva legend, that dates back to more than 167 years now, is studded with many successes, with goals achieved and surpassed, with innovations that marked the international boating world and with numerous awards that, throughout the years, testified the quality and pureness of style of the Riva boats. But the long lasting story of the Italian yachting brand is above all marked by those people who have contributed to make the Riva name a status symbol, a true myth all over the world. People who chose to dedicate their life to this ‘family' with passion, thus letting the Riva brand become even more special.
An important part of this group was celebrated last Friday, on June 26th, in Monaco, where the 50th anniversary party of the Riva's historical dealer, Monaco Boat Service, was held.
The event was open with a cocktail on the docks, just in front of a Riva modern and classic fleet moored in the bay of Monaco's harbour, and was attended by 250 guests, selected among clients and friends, and by Carlo Riva, the last member of the family who managed the shipyard.
A photo exhibition and a video, displayed inside the MBS hangar, recollected the main moments of these last 50 years and the international jet setters who crossed their history with the Italian brand, by picturing year by year the evolution of Riva's exclusive dealer for France.
During the night numerous prizes were also awarded: to all the MBS employees with more than 20 years of service, to the historical clients of the distributor, to Carlo Riva as founder of the Monaco Boat Service, and to Lia Riva and Patrizio Ferrarese who have maintained a high quality service that have made the distributor a true reference point for all their clients.
