Riva has launched the first unit of the 96’ Argo Super at the La Spezia shipyard, where models in the 21 to 39 meters range are built. The new Riva 96’ Argo Super is designed to offer an even more enjoyable experience in contact with the sea, maintaining the balance between performance, comfort and timeless elegance that sets Riva’s flybridge yachts apart. An evolution of the famous Riva 90’ Argo, one of the most loved models in the range, the96 Argp Super introduces a series of major design innovations that elevate the quality of life on board, offering a more efficient layout, an even more harmonious sense of connection between indoors and outdoors, and outstanding liveability. Like all Riva creations in the last thirty years, Riva 96’ Argo Super is the result of collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the Strategic Product Committee and Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department. With a length overall of 28 metres, the new flybridge super yacht features clean, sleek contours, which are pointed up on the choice of livery, a refined pairing of Aluminium with Bright Black details– further highlighting the yacht’s contemporary character. The first major new development on board involves the aft and beach areas, which have been redesigned to enhance interaction with the water and improve the usability of the outdoor spaces. A generous sun-pad complete with handrail and cup holders is now incorporated in the garage door, which opens to provide access to the Williams tender and jet ski. The adjacent swim platform is fitted with a lift mechanism that makes it even easier and safer to enter the water and organise life on board, transforming the beach area into an even more welcoming and practical space. The cockpit too features additional storage compartments, a built-in refrigerator and new adjustable backrests for the two large sofas positioned lengthways beside the dining table, offering even more comfort and versatility; the flybridge, on the other hand, now showcases a new bar unit and mahogany-topped tables. One of the most significant new features is the introduction of a day head on the main deck, which improves usability and opens the way to a more efficient layout. The salon is available in two different configurations: on this first boat, the layout features the dining area aft and the lounge forward, a solution which underscores indoor-outdoor continuity and creates an even more convivial atmosphere on board. The full-beam master suite benefits from expansive glazed surfaces and furnishings arranged to amplify the natural light and offer views of the water and surrounding seascape, even from the bed. On the lower deck, moving the day head to the main deck frees up space which is now used for the guest sleeping area. In the standard configuration, the lower deck features three generous guest cabins, including a full-beam VIP cabin aft that exploits the newly gained space to offer a level of comfort and size comparable to a second master suite; in the optional configuration, the layout features three VIP cabins plus a guest cabin with twin beds. The interiors have also evolved to embrace a new language of style, in which polished wengé wood is set off by pale matt oak, establishing a refined balance of textures that adds to the overall sense of brightness. The careful combination of fine woods, mirrored surfaces and contemporary polished steel detailing creates a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere that’s perfectly aligned with the yacht’s elegant and sporty character. The first Riva 96’ Argo Super is fitted with twin MTU 2000hp for speeds up to thirty knots. The first Riva 96’ Argo Super will make her official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.
