Riva announces Jeff Brown Yachts as its new exclusive dealer for the Western United States

Riva, a mark of excellence in the global yachting industry, announces a major dealership agreement with Jeff Brown Yachts that consolidates the brand’s presence in the United States. As exclusive dealer, Jeff Brown Yachts will oversee distribution, sales and services for the iconic range of Riva boats in the main markets on America’s West Coast, covering strategic states including California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii.

“I met Jeff few years ago at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, and I soon realized he could have been the right business partner. Jeff shares our same commitment and vision for Riva”, said Simone Meletti, managing director of Ferretti Group Americas. “I’m confident Jeff Brown Yachts will be a leading player for Ferretti Group and will make an important contribution to the continuing growth of the Riva brand in the U.S. market.”
 
“It’s an absolute honor to represent Riva on the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego”, says Jeff Brown, owner of Jeff Brown Yachts. “Riva is a storied brand that I have admired for my entire life, so to represent the brand exclusively on the West Coast of the United States is truly a privilege”. 

With a consolidated network of offices in San Diego, Newport Beach, Sausalito, Seattle, and Kailua-Kona, Jeff Brown Yachts stands out as the fastest growing dealer on the West Coast, ready to offer customers a tailor-made service covering sales, repairs, refitting and maintenance, and reflecting the attention to detail and professional approach that have always been signature features of the Riva brand.

With over 30 years of experience, Jeff Brown and his team provide a high-end service, allowing customers to fully enjoy the unique experience that only a Riva yacht can offer. 

This new agreement strengthens Riva’s determination to collaborate with excellent partners, consolidating the brand’s presence around the world, and ensuring its customers’ satisfaction through a close-knit assistance network and a broad range of services that include delivery, maintenance and transport.

38’ Rivamare

Jeff Brown Yachts will have two Riva offerings on display this fall in Southern California. The 38 Rivamare is a new jewel in the storied Riva crown. With her sinuous, flowing lines, dramatically flared bow and considerable beam in those broad shoulders, which tapers back to an alluring and curvaceous stern, is a fusion of legend, modernity and sheer class – a seductive, sporty motorboat that charms from the very first glance.

Melding the best of modern technology with classical Riva Yacht lines, so evocative of the French Riviera’s ‘joie de vivre’ of decades past, the Riva Rivamare elegantly transports one not only over serene water, but also through time.

48’ Dolceriva

There are boats that tell a familiar story and boats that write an entirely new one – like the 48' Dolceriva, whose profoundly rethought design and style open a whole new chapter for Riva and the historic Sarnico boatyard. However close you get, the quality and detailing just get better. The chromed brass gleams. The stainless steel is polished to a mirror sheen. Riva’s iconic lacquered mahogany—coated with layer upon layer of gloss varnish—adds to the radiance. 

Rising and falling with a relaxed, languid stride that seems to flatten the sea, the pleasure of the Dolcervia comes from reveling in its style and character, and the effortless and stylish manner in which it lets you enjoy the ride.
