PARANÀ 38
The “Paranà 38” makes its debut in the summer setting the path for a new line. The name is the same as the successful wood model of the 60s.
The “Paranà 38” is a 12 meters with a sporty style and an innovative design, fully equipped, practical, with great attention to detail, that will surely become the leading model of its category. It’s been met with great enthusiasm.
The new model follows RY RIO YACHTS’ tradition of getting the balance between internal and external space perfectly right, nothing is left to chance.
The hull is white and anthracite grey. It boasts a spacious flat teak cockpit that, using an electric remote control, can be converted into either a large table or a sunbathing area, depending on the occasion. The comfortable chaise longue and the external kitchen are great finishing touches. The soft top, easily adjustable to let in the light or keep out the summer heat, combines the comfort of a sliding roof with the option of a quasi-total open top. The result is a practical covered cockpit with the line of a motor boat.

COLORADO 44
IO YACHTS celebrates the summer of 2016 with the launch of the new “COLORADO 44”. It is an important year for the boatyard from Bergamo, as it celebrates its 55 years of activity: a milestone that brings back memories of 1961, the year of RIO’s foundation, the dawn of boating, when power boats, with Chris Craft and Rolls-Royce engines, where made from mahogany by master wood craftsmen.
55 years later, many things have changed but some are still the same: the name “Colorado” was the name of the models born in the 1960s and, just as then, RY RIO YACHTS produces unique crafts, the result of extensive research, careful planning and meticulous work.
“Colorado 44” is built on the strength of its successful predecessor, “Rio 42 Air”, but completely revolutionises size, aesthetics and layout.
It is over 14 m long and can be described as a sporty hard-top, sumptuous and high-performing.
Its teak cockpit is really unique: spacious (8 m2) and completely flat with cockpit and helm station close together in order to enjoy external spaces with friends and guests. It features a large sofa, two tables (the external one becomes a sun lounger), a concealable television and a practical external kitchen with a glass-ceramic cooktop, fridge and microwave oven, separated by a concealable door that can be closed to enjoy the full benefits of the air conditioning during the hottest days, lock the craft more securely, or simply offer more privacy when enjoying a quiet dockside drink; but when open it almost disappears completely to the right, creating one large open space.
The helm station has a glass sliding roof, a side window and long side glazing that let in air and light and offer great views.
The stern platform is spacious with optional hydraulic controls to lift the tender or the jet ski.
Inside, the lounge area can be customised (with the possibility to include a laundry room, office, a second kitchen etc.), three cabins (6 beds) and two bathrooms. Panoramic windows, just above the waterline, allow in plenty of natural light.
Colorado 44 is powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 shaft drive engines, which offer great speed and low fuel consumption. Alternatively, for clients with specific requirements, the craft can be fitted with the sterndrive Volvo Penta D6 370.

COLORADO 56
Colorado 56 is an very bright, sporty hard top, wich can be closed and at the same time can be considerer as a true open, combining excitement and rationality.
The element characterising the new model is the curved tempered glass door with mirror finish between the cockpit and the helm station. This means the cockpit can be partially closed off, providing maximun comfort and extending the time for enjoying a really special holiday. When it is not being used, the door disappears into the weather cover, giving the look and operation of true open-top boat.
The galley is at the centre of the boat and provides a stepping stone between the inside and the outside, creating a unique, open environment. It’s an impressive kitchen, perfect to enjoy moments of pleasure and relaxation with friends and guests.

GRANTURISMO 60

The new flagship boasts the same sporty lines as her predecessor, harmony of proportions and combines functionality (which is typically North American) with sumptuous materials. A pure “Made in Italy”, the 60 GTS combines quality, history, culture, style and art with American Know-How and Engineering.
She is also a tailor-made yacht that reflects the personal taste of the client, personality and uniqueness, and best described by his lifelong motto: There is no second place – FIRST is the only acceptable option.
Rio’s truly visionary and first of its kinds full glass ceiling brings light into the lower salon – as the entire Bow Seating area is tempered glass, that with its huge hull windows make this second salon as bright and airy as the top deck.

You become the designer of your personalized “Italian Dream Yacht.”
The history of RY RIO YACHTS
From the 60’s stunning polished handcrafted mahogany cruisers enjoyed by the stars of Monaco, built in conjunction with Chris Craft and Rolls-Royce engines; to today’s industry leading yachts built only with the finest materials and custom designed for each owner in conjunction with an international design staff. From technical choices of whether the a seasoned yachtsmen prefers traditional straight shaft designs or PODS; to the best ocean going hulls - that are built to keep your family safe and secure; to interior choices of modern designs or relaxing family atmospheres.
It was 1961, the year the Italian “yacht” was born. Our company began in an era where the world’s vision of luxury was Princess Grace riding in her hand built Mahogany cruisers along the Italian Riviera, RIO was fabricating Mahogany classics, such as the Espera, Colorado, and the famous Rolls Rio, a collaboration with Rolls Royce.
The history of RIO YACHTS parallels that of the other historic brands of that era and continues to build handcrafted boats one at a time.
Our shipyard, today is located near Bergamo in a fully modernized facility, with practices still consistent with those that made our wooden boats famous.
Back in the old days RIO was known for reinforced wooden hulls, the highest standard in the industry. Today we build the strongest fiberglass hulls. We are committed to fuel efficiency without sacrificing power and speed.
Our design concepts, and Italian styling is original, developed in our studios and own shipyard, with quality control being our trademark.
RIO YACHTS began in 1961 as a dream for Dr. Luigi Scarani and that tradition and vision has been nurtured and enhanced by his son Piergiorgio, continuing the legacy of a family owned business known throughout Europe for its craftsmanship and integrity. A RIO is more than just a Yacht, it’s “Hand Crafted Italian Heritage.”
The world has changed considerably from those early days of “yachting” but one thing has remained the same: man’s passion for the sea!
Mankind has always held the notion of the sea as a place of mystery and adventure.
The boats of today, the boats built by RIO YACHTS, are stronger, safer and more fuel efficient than ever before and that notion lives on more passionately than ever.
At RIO we believe purchasing a yacht should be an experience in which every customer can express their own personal taste. Unlike our competitors, we give our clients the ability to fully CUSTOMIZE their yacht.
Our professional design team will help you choose a floor plan that meets your specific boating requirements. We offer custom fabrics from Rubelli, Donghia, and Armani, custom plumbing fixtures by Artos, kitchens by Arclinia and Antonelli marbles. From exotic woods finishes to metallic paints, granite or stainless, we fabricate each yacht individually.
Our engineers will give you power, handling, and electronic options to enhance and customize your yachting experience.
We do not have a production line in which your boat is a number. Instead, your boat has your name in the factory as our master yacht builders sweat every detail just like they did in the old days with each Mahogany classic.

An Italian Dream
Those extraordinary 60’s: life scenarios and “dolce vita” playing on air along with the background music of the English folk bands across the Channel, fashion designers launching mini cars and mini-skirts, non-conventional models and the beat generation born on the road….Following the echo of the economic boom, great dreams are shaping up.
On their honeymoon on the French Riviera the young entrepreneur Luigi Scarani and his wife Anna see boats, visit harbours, returning home with a project: setting up family and shop (shipyard) on the banks of the Sebino lake. The intuition is correct: it’s the right time to dare! If it’s true that wisdom comes with age, proof is within RIO’s brand which was born along with the nautical concept.
“Avionautica Rio” was then founded in 1961: building gliders and beautiful motorboats in mahogany with Chris Craft and Rolls-Royce engines along with striking names such as Colorado, Paranà, Bonito, Espera.
In the 70’s the shipyard, already a household name, perceives before others “a boat for all”, deciding to change from handcraft made to industrial, thus creating the boat in ABS, plastic heat-formed material. With a joint co-operation with Anic – Eni, an innovation and a success. Research and innovation continued with the launch of the first Jet, with co-operation from Piaggio. Among others , RIO 310 is born: a symbol of an era change, with more than 50.000 models produced.
In the following decade the shipyard RIO, opens branches in Spain, and in France, developing the division “work boats”, with over 200 patrol vessels supplying the Italian Carabinieri armed forces, by completing a shipyard’s concept at 360°.
Patrol Boats
RIO YACHTS has created a department called “Patrol boats”. For more than 20 years it has supplied various organisations, the best example being the 200 patrol boats supplied to Italian Carabinieri.
