Riva 96' Argo Super: Elevating the Art of Life at Sea!

Riva Argo Super

With the launch of the new Riva 96' Argo Super, the iconic Italian shipyard once again demonstrates that true luxury lies in continuous refinement. Building upon the success of the acclaimed 90' Argo, the latest addition to the flybridge range introduces a series of carefully considered enhancements that elevate comfort, functionality and the onboard experience without compromising the timeless elegance that has defined Riva for generations.

Measuring 28.79 metres in length with a beam of 6.50 metres, the 96' Argo Super preserves the unmistakable Riva profile while embracing a more contemporary character. Finished in a sophisticated Aluminium hull colour complemented by Bright Black accents, the yacht presents a striking balance between sporty performance and understated Italian elegance.

The evolution is most evident in the outdoor living spaces. The redesigned beach area creates a seamless connection with the sea, featuring a generous sunpad integrated into the garage door and a hydraulic swim platform that transforms the stern into a versatile waterfront lounge. The cockpit has also been enhanced with additional storage, a built-in refrigerator and adjustable seating, offering greater comfort for both relaxation and entertaining. Above, the flybridge introduces a redesigned bar and elegant mahogany tables, reinforcing its role as the yacht's primary social space.

Inside, every detail has been reimagined to maximise both functionality and ambience. The introduction of a day head on the main deck has allowed for a more efficient layout, while the salon offers a configuration that enhances the flow between indoor and outdoor living. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the full-beam owner's suite with natural light, creating uninterrupted views of the surrounding seascape and strengthening the feeling of living in constant dialogue with the water.

Guest accommodation has also been thoughtfully refined. The standard layout features three spacious guest cabins, highlighted by a full-beam VIP suite aft that delivers comfort comparable to a second owner's suite. An alternative arrangement with three VIP cabins and an additional twin guest cabin provides owners with increased flexibility for extended cruising.

The interior design reflects a fresh interpretation of contemporary luxury. Rich polished wengé wood is paired with pale matte oak, mirrored surfaces and polished steel accents to create an atmosphere that feels warm, elegant and effortlessly sophisticated. The result is an interior that captures the essence of modern Italian craftsmanship while maintaining the unmistakable identity of Riva.

Power comes from twin MTU 12V 2000 M96X engines, each producing 2,000 horsepower, delivering the performance expected from one of the industry's most celebrated names. Advanced onboard technologies, including Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilisers, the Watchit collision prevention system and Xenta's manoeuvring and virtual anchor solutions, further enhance safety, stability and ease of operation.

More than simply a larger successor to the 90' Argo, the new Riva 96' Argo Super represents the next chapter in the evolution of one of yachting's most iconic brands. It is a yacht designed not only to be admired, but to redefine the experience of living at sea through timeless design, intelligent innovation and uncompromising comfort.

The Riva 96' Argo Super will make its official public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, where it is expected to be one of the standout premieres of the show.
