As Swedes we know a thing or two about midsummer celebrations. This was different.

A drone show illuminated the sky over the Amalfi Coast. The lights formed the shape of a new flagship, revealed during an event Ferretti Group called “Midsummer Dream.” The weekend was held for the brand’s owners against the backdrop of Borgo Santandrea, a five-star resort in Amalfi.

The gathering began with a toast to mark the opening of a new Riva Lounge inside the resort. It joins a list of other Riva Destinations situated in well-known Mediterranean locations, intended to offer an experience of the brand’s aesthetic and the idea of a dolce vita lifestyle.

The 54-Meter Flagship

The centerpiece of the weekend was the majestic Riva 54Metri. At 54 meters, it is the largest yacht the company has ever built. Its presentation was the main event of the evening, following an elegant dinner.
