Riva Iseo 27

Until now, the Fer-retti Group, to which Riva also belongs, has always brought larger boats onto the market. Now, for the first time in many years, Riva has returned to its traditions and built a small sports boat at its headquarters in Sarnico on Lake Iseo. In this case, "small" means 27 feet long, which even fits on the off-road vehicle with a special trailer.

The Riva 27 Iseo is comfortable to sail. The shipyard offers it with two different diesel engines from Yanmar and a V8 petrol engine from MerCruiser and always with a sterndrive. Our test boat is equipped with the 320hp V8 Yanmar and its twin-propeller sterndrive. Criticism: The servo control is a little too difficult to handle at low speeds. Praise: Shifting gears is as smooth as butter.
