Porto Carlo Riva

An impressive redevelopment project gives the city of Rapallo a new port, open to everyone, capable of satisfying the needs of both yachtsmen and citizens. A meeting place for enthusiasts and tourists, in the heart of the Tigullio and the Mediterranean: this is the new Carlo Riva docks.

Founded in 1975, Porto Carlo Riva is one of the first private marinas in Italy and an iconic location for Italian yachting. The Port was created under the leadership of Carlo Riva – owner of the namesake luxury yacht brand, a seaman and a pioneer of nautical boating – and quickly became a destination to be for boat owners.

This was possible thanks to the high quality of its services and its strategic position on the Riviera di Levante, which allows quick access to nearby Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino, as well as the main Mediterranean destinations.

Today, the Port is reborn to guarantee maximum safety, combined with innovation and modernity: the new layout allows it to accommodate larger vessels and is enriched with selected infrastructures and services, providing a unique experience to our guests.

The layout of the new Porto Carlo Riva, designed by the architecture firm Tectoo in collaboration with leading experts in the nautical sector, was conceived with a strong focus on the needs of modern yachting.

La Torretta, while preserving its original architectural structure, has been redesigned to span two levels: the ground floor now hosts a bar/bistrot and a gelato-pastry shop, while the upper floor is home to a full-service restaurant. The concept was created to provide an all-day offering for all guests of the Marina.

A unique space, a meeting point for yachtsmen, tourists and guests, as well as sea and boating enthusiasts: the Club House will host an exclusive restaurant, together with a reserved area for members.
