Riva, a mark of excellence in the global yachting industry, announces a major dealership agreement with Jeff Brown Yachts that consolidates the brand's presence in the United States. As exclusive dealer, Jeff Brown Yachts will be in charge of distribution, sales and services for the iconic range of Riva boats in the main markets on America's West Coast, covering strategic states including Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii.

"I met Jeff few years ago at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, and I soon realized he could have been the right business partner. Jeff shares our same commitment and vision for Riva", said Simone Meletti, managing director of Ferretti Group Americas. "I'm confident Jeff Brown Yachts will be a leading player for Ferretti Group and will make an important contribution to the continuing growth of the Riva brand in the U.S. market."

"It's an absolute honor to represent Riva on the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego", commented Jeff Brown, owner of Jeff Brown Yachts. "Riva is a storied brand that I have admired for my entire life so to represent the brand exclusively on the West Coast of the United States is truly a privilege".

With a consolidated network of offices in San Diego (CA), Newport Beach (CA), Sausalito (CA), Seattle (WA), Kailua-Kona (HI) and Wrightsville Beach (NC), Jeff Brown Yachts stands out as the fastest growing dealer on the West Coast, ready to offer customers a tailor-made service covering sales, repairs, refitting and maintenance and reflecting the attention to detail and professional approach that have always been signature features of the Riva brand.

With over 30 years of experience, Jeff Brown and his team provide a high-end service, allowing customers to fully enjoy the unique experience that only a Riva yacht can offer.

This new agreement strengthens Riva's determination to collaborate with excellent partners, consolidating the brand's presence around the world and ensuring its customers' satisfaction through a close-knit assistance network and a broad range of services that include delivery, maintenance and transport.
