One of six Ferretti Group world premieres at Cannes

Ferretti Group opened the 48th Cannes Yachting Festival with six world premieres, the 96' Argo Super among them. The show ran from 8 to 13 September 2026 at the Vieux Port.

What Riva changed from the 90' Argo

Riva presents the boat as an evolution of the 90' Argo rather than a clean sheet, with changes aimed at life on board. The yard's own summary of the result is a balance of performance, comfort and what it calls timeless beauty.
