Flexjet and Ferretti Group Unveil Riva Volare: Yacht-Inspired Aircraft Interiors Take Flight!

Flexjet and Ferretti Group have officially unveiled Riva Volare, a bespoke aircraft cabin design inspired by the timeless elegance of Riva motoryachts. The new interiors were revealed on June 26 at Milano Prime Linate Airport, featuring a Gulfstream G650, a Sikorsky S-76 helicopter, and the iconic Riva Aquariva Special yacht in a synchronized display of luxury.

This partnership marks a seamless fusion of aviation and yachting aesthetics. Now part of Flexjet’s LXi Cabin Collection, the Riva Volare design is featured aboard a Gulfstream G650 — an ultra-long-range jet with a 12–15 passenger capacity and up to 16 hours of nonstop flight — and two Sikorsky S-76 helicopters, one based in Florida and the other operating out of Milan, covering Italy and the French Riviera.

The interior draws from the legendary 1960s Riva Aquarama and the modern Aquariva, showcasing handcrafted materials and nautical influences: hand-stitched leather seating with aquamarine piping, high-gloss wood finishes, sociable lounge layouts, and Riva-branded glassware, china, and silverware. All cabin service is delivered by Flexjet’s elite Red Label Academy-trained crew.

Flexjet Chairman Kenn Ricci remarked: “I have long admired the iconic style of Riva, and seeing it brought to life in our aircraft is nothing short of exceptional.” Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi added: “Riva Volare is another splendid outcome of our ongoing collaboration with Flexjet – a partner that shares our passion for setting ever higher standards of quality.”

Through this innovative cross-industry alliance, Ferretti Group extends the yachting lifestyle skyward, while Flexjet enhances its cabin offerings with a touch of Italian maritime artistry. Ferretti clients will receive privileged access to the new helicopter services.
