What happens when you take the iconic elegance of Riva yachts (part of the Ferretti Group) and combine it with the bold dynamism of Flexjet, leaders in private aviation? The result is Riva Volare LV1 Cabin, a customcrafted interior that can be experienced on board Flexjet’s ultra-long-range Gulfstream G650 and Sikorsky S-76 helicopter. Jet-setters and yacht owners will revel in this collaboration. The pairing of Riva’s elegant yacht styling with Flexjet’s expertise in aviation means that Flexjet’s members can indulge in a custom-built design akin to a luxury yacht. Riva Volare is the new star in the LXi Cabin Collection. The cabin’s design is fitted out with a colour palette of gloss woodwork, the Riva aquamarine and deep Blu Sera detailing. The artisanal materials, luxurious textiles and leathers, and polished metal trims have the Riva cues of finesse and comfort.
Riva and Flexjet take Cabin Design to New Heights
27th November 2025
The partnership between Flexjet and Riva yachts, creating bespoke new custom-built cabin interiors, is a marriage made in the skies.
The project has been a year in the making and is the result of a combined vision and months of expert craftsmanship by in-house designers at both brands. In fact, the partnership goes back much further. Commenting on the partnership, Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group CEO, said: “Two of my greatest passions have come together. I love aviation more than anything — that’s my background — and I love the beauty of the boats we manufacture in Ferretti Group, and the iconic brand of Riva. Kenn Ricci is the genius behind Flexjet, whom I met more than 20 years ago. I would never have done this marriage with anyone else but Flexjet and Kenn — he is the best in the business by far. We don’t sell boats and planes; we offer our clients lifestyle, emotion, experience. Why Flexjet and Riva? Because beauty attracts beauty. This is a partnership that will last for years, and I don’t know where it will end.”
“Delivering a luxury experience in aviation is very difficult,” said Kenn Ricci, Flexjet’s Chairman. “There are so many elements I can’t control, such as the weather and air traffic control. What I can control is the environment in which you sit, and that became the opportunity. A partnership with Riva places us exactly in the heart of the luxury experience. I have long admired the iconic style of Riva, and seeing this brought to life in our aircraft is nothing short of exceptional. The Riva Volare Sikorsky S-76 helicopter (previously owned by Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth) is a new Flexjet helicopter operation serving Italy and the French Riviera (in addition to the existing operations in New York, Florida, The Bahamas and London). The Sikorsky S-76 offers 555 km range and carries up to eight passengers, with the added security of twin-turbine engines.
