Riva 56 Rivale

Onboard the Riva 56 Rivale

The Riva 56 Rivale is a 17-metre open cruiser built by Riva, one of Italy's most storied shipyards, and she is available for private charter from Athens. Her cockpit spans nearly the full beam, offering a generous sunpad aft and a sheltered helm station forward. Below deck, two cabins finished in dark walnut and cream leather sleep guests in comfort rarely found on a day boat of this size. Every surface carries the precise Italian joinery that defines the Riva marque.

A typical morning begins at Alimos Marina, where your skipper plots a course south toward the Saronic Gulf. Within an hour the Riva 56 Rivale is anchored off Fleves, a quiet islet roughly twelve nautical miles from port, where the water runs clear to the sandy bottom. After a swim, the crew lays out a prepared lunch as you cruise toward Aegina's harbour for a short walk to the Temple of Aphaia. Late afternoon light follows you home past Cape Sounion.

She suits groups of up to ten — think a birthday gathering of close friends, a corporate offsite for senior leadership, or a multi-generational family marking a milestone. Two cabins allow for an overnight extension, yet most clients book her for a full-day Saronic cruise or a sunset run along the Athenian Riviera.
