Riva 90

At 28.5 metres, the Riva 90 sits in that useful middle ground between a day boat and a full superyacht: enough deck and cabin space to feel like an occasion, without the scale that makes a short outing feel like a production. The layout keeps guests together rather than scattered across multiple decks, which suits groups who want to talk, eat and swim as one party rather than split into corners.

A typical use from Marbella starts at Puerto Banús and runs west toward Estepona bay, where the coastline is quieter and the water clearer for swimming stops than the beaches directly off Puerto Banús. With five cabins on board, the Riva 90 also works for an overnight format: out in the afternoon, anchored for the evening, back to the marina the following day, with provisioning arranged in advance rather than improvised dockside.

The 12-guest capacity makes this yacht a natural fit for a family group, a couple travelling with close friends, or a small corporate party after a working lunch rather than a large event. Because fuel burn and APA rise noticeably on longer runs, such as anything approaching the Gibraltar Strait, we set out realistic estimates for the day or the itinerary before booking, so the final account matches what was discussed at the start.
