When it comes to historic companies we always imagine huge, formal realities. You will be astonished to see how instead the Ernesto Riva Shipyard is first and foremost a reality made up of people.
And this is embodied to perfection by Daniele, who will welcome you to this unique and unparalleled experience!
- We will start from Maslianico, operational headquarters of the Ernesto Riva Shipyard in Como since 2008. Here Daniele or another member of the Riva family will accompany us to discover where the path that leads to the creation of jewels that are unique in the world begins. The element that makes the difference? The expert and passionate hand of the craftsman.
- Lake Como tours of 1 hour aboard an Ernesto Riva boat (from the classic Venetian taxi to the Elettrathe emblem of the innovation taking place in the yard). You will leave from Cernobbio, to admire the beautiful points of interest embedded in the most picturesque cornersVilla d'Este, Villa Pizzo, Torno, Blevio and many others.
Beauty, craftsmanship and ingenuityLet yourself be amazed by this legendary story!
My name is Daniele and I am the eighth generation of the Ernesto Riva shipyard.
I built my first boat with my father Ernesto when I was 17 years old, and I haven't stopped since.
I owe a lot to him: the love for water, boats and an absolute devotion for wood.
Wood is never an easy choice: it is synonymous with craftsmanship and the search for perfection, but it also allows you to experiment.
It is with this spirit that Ernesto was born, the first electric boat, achieving a perfect balance between innovation and old school.
And this is the new mission of the Ernesto Riva Shipyard that I want to make known: to continue to write history by embracing the future but holding on to the passion, the beauty and the intent that have always distinguished us.
