Casarola keeps a broad northern and central territory
Nautica Casarola, which marks sixty years in business this year, continues to represent Riva exclusively across Valle d’Aosta, Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Tuscany, Lazio and Sardinia. Its territory also includes selected provinces in Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige and Emilia-Romagna.
For owners, dealership geography affects more than the initial sale. A strong local partner can influence commissioning, warranty work, winter maintenance and resale support, especially when a yacht spends most of the year in one regional marina network.
Italian Yacht Store expands its Ferretti Group role
Italian Yacht Store already represents Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama and Custom Line in Italy and San Marino. The new arrangement adds exclusive Riva responsibility across a large group of eastern and southern regions, extending an existing multi-brand relationship.
That can simplify support for clients who own several Ferretti Group products or are considering moving between brands. Shared commercial infrastructure may also improve access to technicians, parts and brokerage contacts across a wider geographic area.
Southern Italy gains clearer exclusive coverage
Italian Yacht Store’s Riva territory includes Marche, Abruzzo, Umbria, Molise, Puglia, Calabria, Campania, Basilicata and Sicily, along with parts of northern Italy. The network therefore creates a clearer split between the two partners rather than overlapping representation.
For cruising owners, southern coverage is particularly important because Italy’s major yachting routes extend far beyond the traditional Ligurian and Tuscan centres. Reliable support around Sicily, Campania and Puglia can materially affect how confidently owners use their yachts through a longer Mediterranean season.
Dealer structure matters in the 12-to-24-metre ownership market
Many Riva models fall directly inside the LYG size band, where owners are often personally involved in purchasing, maintenance and marina decisions. Dealer quality can therefore be more visible than it is on larger yachts managed through dedicated family offices and professional management teams.
Riva’s new structure is primarily a commercial-network decision, but its practical effect will be measured through service continuity. Owners will judge whether regional responsibility translates into faster support, easier communication and a more consistent ownership experience after delivery.
