FROM THE SEA TO THE SKY: THE FLEXJET GULFSTREAM G650, INSPIRED BY RIVA
July 18, 2025
Flexjet takes an unmatched and meticulous approach to private aviation, refined over 30 years. This includes our unrivalled fleet of world-class aircraft and our bold and exquisite LXI Cabin Collection™ interiors, both of which are perfectly highlighted by Riva Volare, our new design collaboration with our official partner and global yacht leader, Ferretti Group.
TURNING HEADS, ACROSS THE WORLD
Riva Volare takes inspiration from the exquisite Italian style of the revered Riva motoryacht – part of the Ferretti Group portfolio and a globally beloved icon of Dolce Vita-style luxury design. Our expert, in-house design team worked together with their counterparts at Riva over many months in order to create and install this bespoke and stunning custom cabin, curating it for another travel icon: The Gulfstream G650.
Furthermore, a seamless jet-to-helicopter-to-yacht experience is provided by the Riva Volare cabin of two of our Sikorsky S-76 helicopters – one based in Florida and the other in our new seasonal helicopter service area covering Italy and the French Riviera. This marks the expansion of Flexjet’s helicopter operations into mainland Europe for the first time, and adds to our existing service areas in New York, London, and Florida & The Bahamas.
A SPECTACULAR AND MEMORABLE UNVEILING
This unique collaboration of two luxury leaders was revealed and celebrated on 26th and 27th June 2025, first at an official unveiling event for global media in the Flexjet group-owned hangar at Milano Prime Linate Airport, hosted by Flexjet Chairman Kenn Ricci and Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi, that featured a unique, static display of the Flexjet Gulfstream G650, Sikorsky S-76 helicopter and an ‘Aquariva Special’ motoryacht.
This was followed by a truly spectacular evening event at the Riva shipyard on the shores of Lake Iseo, bringing together Owners, clients and VIP guests of both Flexjet and Ferretti Group.
As Kenn Ricci finished his words of welcome, the Riva Volare Gulfstream G650 emerged low overhead followed by the Frecce Tricolori – the Italian Air Force acrobatic display team – in a magnificent flypast that was followed by an evening of exceptional gastronomy, music and celebration, one that those present will remember for many years to come.
RIVA DESIGN, FLEXJET-STYLE
In Riva Volare Flexjet aircraft Owners can enjoy:
- Soft, handstitched leather seating, piped with Riva’s signature aquamarine colour and intricately embroidered with Riva logos.
- High-gloss, striped-wood veneer panelling – synonymous with the iconic Riva interiors.
- Pop-up kibitzer social seating in the Gulfstream G650 comprising a classic nautical stripe design in blue and white.
- Accent areas featuring the Riva aquamarine and deep blue ‘Blu Sera’ colours, paired with trademark polished metallic trims.
