There are yachts that just appear on the market. There are those who allow themselves the luxury of rewriting the rules.Riva 90' Argois of the second type — a model that, with its premiere, took a place among the icons of modern yacht design. The name Argo carries a mythological heritage. In ancient Greek legends, this was the first ship to cross the seas in search of the golden fleece. In the yachting world, Argo already means something else — uncompromising elegance, vast spaces and engineering thought focused on real life on board.



Exterior design and architecture — aerodynamics with style

The profile ofRiva 90' Argois clean and dynamic. Large hull windows, full-height glazing on the main deck and glass structures in the stern create a feeling of lightness rare in a yacht of this class. This is not a visual trick. The design is functional and works in favor of the light, the views and the connection with the sea. Nothing is accidental. Unlike many “spectacular” models, here the effect has a coating.

Main deck — space that is used for real

Breastplate and swimming platform

In the stern garage there is a place forWilliams Sportjet 395and jet, which can descend independently — a serious advantage for a yacht with a length of 27.4 m. The 6 sq. m swimming platform features an innovative retractable ladder that makes descent and ascent from the water intuitive and safe. The electro-hydraulic ladder is available, but honestly — you won't miss it.


Cockpit — more than a seat

The cockpit extends over 30 sq. m and offers a new layout that allows the area to be used for relaxation, social moments and meals. The two longitudinal sofas and the central table can be transformed into a sun playground with an area of about 6 sq. m or a dining area for up to eight people.
There are no partitions. There are no visual barriers. Only the sea.



Living room and dining room

The lounge on the main deck has an area of nearly 40 sq. m and a height of over 2.1 m — a detail that is really felt. The interior includes an L-shaped sofa, sun loungers and a discreetly integrated TV. The dining room with a table for eight people is complemented by panoramic balconies on both sides — a small but extremely strong design gesture.


Lower deck — double main cabin and VIP comfort

The lower deck offers three VIP double cabins with private bathrooms and ceilings over 2m high. The real surprise, however, is the stern cabin of 20 sq. m, which is practically a second master suite. Excellent sound insulation, location away from technical areas and attention to detail make guests feel like owners, not just passengers. The crew area, located in the nose section, includes a dining room and two double cabins with separate bathrooms — because a good crew also needs comfort.



Interior and exterior design — Riva's signature

The interior follows the classic Riva aesthetic: lacquer, wood, leather and steel combined with an exceptional sense of balance. The main material is English walnut, combined with dark ceilings, leather elements and lighter shades in floors and upholstery. Mirrored steel surfaces — along the columns, furniture and staircase — add character and depth. This is not an interior that screams “luxury”. It is an interior that implies it.


Flybridge and “endless deck”

The flybridge ofRiva 90' Argooccupies an impressive 46 sq. m and offers a bar, dining room and freestanding furniture in the stern. The bar counter opens automatically at the touch of a button and reveals a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. The seats opposite the console, set on a sculptural stainless steel pedestal, provide a panoramic view of the nose and a sense of speed and control — almost like flying, but with champagne.


“The Infinite Deck”, inspired by the concept atRiva 110' Dolcevita, connects the flybridge, nose area and cockpit in one continuous living environment. This is not just movement on the decks. It's a smooth experience.

Argo just sped up the process.
