BIG BRANDS. RIO YACHTS: LOVE FROM DOLCE VITA TIMES TO FUTURE

How may reasons are behind the  birth of an enterprise ? The word itself is open to a dual interpretation. On one hand, it embodies hard heroic implications;  on the other one, it can simply refer to the creation and deployment of a product.

This is why, coming back to the question above, reasons can be decidedly disparate: pride, ambition, financial interests and calculations, innate skills… However, when love is the real driving force of enterprise , it often results into extraordinary stories like the one we’re going to tell you today.

Rio Yachts was established in 1961 . Those were the times of the Italian Dolce Vita , when all dreams seemed to be possible and economic boom was ready to come true. It was in this background that an Italian entrepreneur, Luigi Scarani , and his wife, Anna Maria Ziliani – a teacher who gave up her career to follow her husband – laid the foundations for a story which is going on still today. To understand what this company means today and which philosophy it follows to build its boats , this story needs to be told. With no rhetorical artifices but focusing on the main ingredient that has allowed it to grow over the last 50 years: love.  

Luigi Scarani is a dreamer, a child of his times, a person who always desires to make his dreams come true .

The first name of the company was “Avionautica Rio ” since, especially after Luigi’s brother, Carlo , joined the business, it devoted itself to glider manufacturing. One of the first creations was the popular M100S that the enthusiasts of this sector certainly remember. With the same severe technique-oriented approach, the company built its first beautiful luxury mahogany motorboats with Chris Craft and Rolls Royce engines along with striking names such as  Colorado, Panarà, Bonito and Espera (and Rio, of course), all inspired by lakes or South-American realities.

Giving up her teacher career to stand by her husband, Anna Scarani decided to offer her considerable contribution and became the public relation manager of the company. Since then, she and her family adopted a very particular working approach. Because the Scarani were a couple able to establish personal and, sometimes, even friendly relationships with their customers . Purchasing a Rio Yachts boat meant to join both a family and a network of relationships where the boat was the final fruit of a series of encounters and discussions where th customer’s needs were identifies even through personal stories. Anna was always there to set the pace as well as the modalities of the relations with the outside world, press, markets: in a word, everyone.

During the years of the Italian economic boom, the shipyard built the iconic Rio 310, an ABS  “ boat for anyone “ which quickly became the marine counterpart of the Fiat 600 with over 50,000 units sold. On the wave of growth, the company expanded internationally by establishing the first contacts with the French, Spanish and South-American markets.

The shipyard developed its “work vessel” division supplying Italian armed forces with many patrol models.

Between the 80’s and the 90’s , increasingly larger models made their first appearance on the market and launched innovative technologies and design, always in the respect of the traditional leitmotiv : with Luigi, the dreamer, planning future and Anna devoted to propose it to the world.

Some years ago, Luigi left us , even though such a personality cannot fail to leave permanent traces on its path, and Anna currently spends most of her time with her grandchildren.

However, nothing has changed in Rio Yachts . Luigi and Anna’s son, Piergiorgio , took over the helm of the company  keeping the style invented by his parents absolutely unchanged. Meanwhile, of course, markets have continued to develop and expand. And Rio Yachts is growing with them, especially in the States , where its boats have become the symbol of Italian Style . The shipyard indeed builds extremely elegant boats featuring sober luxury design and an incomparable customization level.

It’s precisely the US market that highlights the successful Rio Yachts customer focus. As Piergiorgio Scarani witnesses to us, the Americans are pragmatic and use their boats, even the largest ones, with no crew throughout the year. The shipyard therefore designs every detail of the boat with the customer himself, such as the usability of systems, interior design and arrangement, the type of optional equipment the customer already chooses during the planning phase.

Essences and furniture often come after the owner has created his boat according to his personal needs .

Furthermore, continuous use implies the need for efficient fast post-sale assistance and services and that is what Rio Yachts is organizing in its new sale points. The same boat sold in the European, American, Brazilian or Chinese market will be substantially a completely different boat since owners have different culture and needs.

Customer focus and relationship along with the mutual growth involving the shipyard and its clients have always been the key elements of another important phenomenon Rio Yachts knows very well: customer retention.

Those who are lucky enough to own a boat usually don’t buy just a single boat in their life. As their career, family and needs change, their boat, too, can change.

Rio Yachts has managed to go along generations of boat owners who have decided to renovate their relationship with the shipyard systematically.

2017 is the present and it will see the launch of two important novelties: the Granturismo 60S , designed following the request of a prestigious American customer, and the Spider 40 , an open with racing performances and breath-taking lines that, needless to say,  wants to ” meet our customers’ request – Piergiorgio Scarani explains – for a fast, simple-to-use boat where to have fun with family and friends”.

Meanwhile, the future plans of Rio Yachts include the manufacturing of larger boats and a new Fly series.

Rio Yachts: Rich History of the Italian Classic

From gliders to the prestigious boats made in wood, all plastic heat-formed boats, to modern cruisers in fibreglass – the story of a business, that in fifty years of existence, has created schooling of Italian Style world-wide

In 1961, Luigi Scarani – a lover of fine boats – decided he and his wife would spend their honeymoon in the French Riviera. When they came back, after spending much more time studying yachts and marinas , than enjoying France, the Scaranis made a decision: their passion would no longer be just a hobby.

They founded a shipyard and named it Aeronautica Rio, as they originally planned to produce both boats and gliders. Still, the yard concentrated primarily on speedboats – made from the same wood as gliders, mahogany – and soon developed their iconic models Colorado, Espera, Parana and Bonito (all names were inspired by Mr. Scarani’s other passion; South America). This golden era ended in 1965, with the fabulous Rolls Rio wooden speedboat powered by the same Rolls-Royce L410 V8 engine that powered the legendary Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.

As the 1960s ended, Scarani decided to follow the trend – the yard partnered with AINC and ENI to start building boats in plastic, ending the era of wooden boats. Gliders became a thing of the past as well, and the yard dropped the Aeronautica part of their name. Rio first focused on smaller boats; day cruiser ideal for fishing trips, powered by outboard engines. Although not as glamorous as their wooden predecessors, those boats were a huge hit, especially the Rio 310, sold in 50.000 units.

Around the same time, Rio, this time partnered with Italian scooter maker Piaggio, made the first European jet-powered boats. Toward the end of the 1970s the yard began building larger plastic boats: especially popular were models Rio 11.50 and Rio 14.20, luxury fly bridge cruisers of significant size for the era. In the 1980s the yard expanded their portfolio with open cockpit cruisers, the most popular boat type of the decade, opened 440 dealerships and production plants in Spain and France and started their annual dealers’ meet-ups.

In the 1980s, one of their models, the Rio 400 Goal, was made in Croatia , on the island of Vis . In 1986 Rio debuted their innovative model Rio 12.90, with a cockpit closed by a movable roof – the sunroof, as it was called back then. That model later became the basis for the yard’s largest model, the 16.90.

In the 1980s Rio became one of the main suppliers of Italian police boats, and to this day they have delivered more than 200 boats to the carabinieri. In the 1990s, Rio began producing closed cockpit fishermen, which turned out to be a real hit on the domestic market, but the most popular of all was the 13-meter long open-cockpit Rio 1300 Cruiser.

In the 21st century, mid-2000s Piergorgio Scarani took over from his father and almost immediately changed the name of the yard to Rio Yachts. Under the new motto ‘Navigare alto’ (Sailing with class), Rio Yachts entered the luxury segment of the market. New series ART (open cockpit), AIR (hard top) and BLU (center console cruisers) were all based on that new philosophy.

In 2011 Rio Yachts celebrated their first fifty years with new versions of their classics Colorado, Espera and Parana, as well as brand new models Colorado 54 (16-meter hardtop) and Espera 34 (center console sport cruiser).

With their new models, equally fresh and innovative now as their namesakes were fifty years ago, are evidence that Rio Yachts is still powered by the same passion as when it was founded and equally dedicated to excellence in design and building techniques.

Rio: A look on board CRN's colourful 60m superyacht

The newest superyacht from CRN is a carnival of vivid colours, bright spaces and flamboyant details . Elaine Bunting takes a tour of Rio ...

Every build reaches a point when the vessel finally comes alive. It’s not when the design is finalised or the plates of steel are cut. It’s not even when the engines are run up or the shafts start to turn for the first time. It comes with a blitz of tasks, as curtains are fitted or artworks hung, racing to the hot pulse of an imminent deadline. Swiftly, it is a yacht impatient to be peopled and set free.

Rio is unique because she has been born twice. The new 62 metre steel and aluminium yacht built by CRN in Italy’s Ancona had been due to launch in 2021. She was nearing completion despite the challenges of a shipyard shutdown and the global supply crunch when the almost unthinkable happened – the owner pulled out. Then she was resold, speedily reimagined and born again this spring for a very different life.

“She is a yacht that is not only unique, but interesting in many ways,” says David Westwood of broker TWW Yachts . The company had a long-standing charter client who wanted to purchase their own boat of between  60 and 65 metres. Two other projects in Italy were scouted, “but they just didn’t have that flair they were looking for”,   Westwood says. They wanted a yacht that would be fun for a young family.

CRN’s project was a good match. The hull shape itself appealed: the external profile drawn by Frank Laupman’s team at Omega Architects is thoroughly contemporary, shaped by a plumb bow, squared transom, cut-away bulwarks and fashion plates that sweep aft and elongate like the shape of a sports coupé.

Her genesis is in a concept Omega designed for CRN as the Oceansport but Rio is full custom. The first owner pushed the Dutch design firm for a long foredeck, which he originally intended to use for private outdoor dining and makes room for a good-sized garage. “She has a clear posture and strong horizontal lines with a lot of detailing to make her interesting,” Laupman says. “We did a lot of details on it. [For instance], there is an interesting intrusion in the bulwark [on the owner’s deck] to give the owner more visibility. And to enhance her lines, we created arches that embrace the protected aft deck and create a bit of shade, but you can peek under them.”

Onboard spaces are bright and modern, and very light inside and out, with large windows and lots of full-height glass. The deck space opens out to vistas from all three decks. Besides these attributes, the yacht offers accommodation for 12 guests in six well-proportioned cabins, two of them full-beam, plus a gym, beach club and a private owner’s deck with a forward suite enjoying sea views. “A full owner’s deck is quite unusual on a 62 metre,” comments Westwood. “Generally it’s on split levels or sub-divided. The owners wanted a light, bright and open-plan vessel, and Rio ticked all the boxes.”

The new owners signed the contract last year, ending the yacht’s brief spell as an orphan and creating a new identity. The yacht was named Rio , and the challenge was immediately set to reimagine the vessel for family holidays and imbue it with a vibe, energy and colours evocative of the Amazon. So a complete metamorphosis of the interior was called for. The original owner had commissioned Alessandro Pulina of Pulina Exclusive Interiors to develop a mainly off-white interior as a neutral backdrop for an art collection. The new style was to be radically different and was undertaken hand-in-hand with CRN. The transformation was a huge project that had to be delivered at breakneck speed without any compromise on quality.

Pulina worked with the new owners on a palette of vivid colours that would define each area and cabin in the yacht. On the main deck, matt white lacquered furniture and wall panelling are brought  alive by bright turquoise frames and furnishing in blues and pinks. The contrasting floor is in matt-finished American walnut.

“Customised lighting and recessed black lacquered wood are used to define different areas by adjusting the intensity of different zones,” explains Gabriele Piacenti, CRN’s senior project architect.

At the centre of the main saloon, a custom-made circular table with concentric oak veneers made by Poltrona Frau can seat 12. It is matched with a set of shell-shaped chairs with legs in black-stained ash and upholstered with saddle leather.

One striking feature is the marble front and tops on the bar area, set with deep tropical blue Azul Macaubas marble from Brazil. The slabs were picked out specially by Piacenti because he liked the way its rippling pattern resembles waves and the patterns on a beach when the tide has receded. “It’s a very precious marble; there are not many slabs left, but we found one close to us in Tuscany that had no impurities. When I saw it, I rang the yard immediately and said we had to have it.”

Sofas and pouffes on the main deck aft terrace are by Paola Lenti, made with woven rope in colours of light blue, white and bright pink. They are clustered round hand-painted tables in Etna lava stone.

Themes of bright, summery colours continue in the owner’s cabin on the owner’s deck and the five additional guest cabins, four on the lower deck and one on the main deck. Each has an individual colour scheme: pastel green, red/brown, green/blue. There are two large full-beam VIP cabins with king-size beds and bathrooms finished with warm Crema d’Orcia and Calacatta Vagli Oro marbles. The original layout had an additional cabin, but the new owners decided to convert one of these guest cabins to a gym.

A beach club was also created at the aft end of the lower deck. “This area changed a lot,” says CRN project manager Marco Delpini. “The original owner wanted the transom beach club to be fitted out as a music room where a band could gather for jamming sessions. We decided to create a more conventional spa with a hammam. We’ve also got a toy rack for stand-up paddleboards and flyboards and the crew will be able to pitch watersports to the kids.”

Rio ’s arsenal of power craft and tenders, meanwhile, lives in a garage at the forward end of the main deck, where they can be stored out of sight and lifted on two launching cranes via two shell doors on the port and starboard sides. The garage contains an eight-metre Pascoe Beachlander, two jet skis and a rescue tender. A 14–metre Sacs Rebel 47 tender is also part of the fleet and follows along.

The owners’ domain spans the entire upper deck. It can be reserved completely for private use or the upper saloon can be opened to guests.  All decks are accessed by a lift, and the upper deck is also connected by stairs that wind round and are flanked by bleached oak and leather panels.

The wall panels themselves are a labour of love. Stitched leather in a pale cream colour is installed in a fanned fashion to allow LED lighting behind it, creating an interesting 3D effect. The joinery throughout the boat, including the intricately slatted and white-lacquered okoume found in every cabin, was all done by Zago, the in-house carpentry company (which, like CRN, is part of the Ferretti Group).

As you reach the owner’s deck lobby, you are greeted by a large panel hand-painted by an Italian artist. It sets out the manifesto of the yacht’s interior, depicting the Amazonian rainforest and three special motifs: a toucan, a blue butterfly and a jaguar. From the owner’s deck there are continuous sea views all around.  The owner’s cabin itself looks outwards across the foredeck and bow, and its colours echo the blue and white of the sea and sky. The furniture is topped in blue leather, also known as “a sugar box blue”, Piacenti explains, “with panels all hand-stitched”.

The owner’s bathroom and dressing room are exceptional, with spectacular views on the port side. You enter via a walk-in dressing room. At the centre is a glass-walled shower and bathtub with views out to sea through a large picture window. When the doors of the dressing room are open, you can look out from both sides of the yacht.

A door from the owner’s suite leads out onto a private open-air lounge and spa pool, a new addition, that are out of sight from the wheelhouse on the bridge deck above. The foredeck is a large expanse of 120 square metres yet the details speak loudest about the design and the build quality achieved by CRN. Inspect it more closely and you see that the bulwarks dip towards the bow while the carbon stanchions and black Spectra guard ropes above them vary in height to maintain the horizontal line. The teak decking is laid diagonally on the foredeck, joggled perfectly together without a central king plank.

To keep the view forward clean and unobstructed, the forward mast for the navigation lights can be retracted telescopically below the deck, and the mooring and side loading area for tenders is reached directly from the crew quarters below on the lower deck.

While the interior was rapidly being recreated, the boat’s machinery and systems were completed. CRN  has a 50-strong in-house design and engineering team. “We have a very advanced engineering department, and the technical areas are the first to be designed – they are the heart of the boat,” says Delpini. “From the cutting of the first plate, it took a year until the complete installation of the machinery.”

The powerhouse of Rio comprises two Caterpillar 3512C ACERT engines producing 1,230kW at 1,800rpm. They give a top speed of 15 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles. From inception, an important goal was “an exceptionally quiet yacht,” Delpini explains. “Extra noise and vibration damping means noise levels in harbour will be 45dB in the owner’s suite and 50dB in the main saloon.”

He admits that “the most interesting and challenging” aspects of the project were the knock-on effects of the first lockdowns. “Some suppliers were severely affected.  It worked in clusters of companies that had shut down, so it hit the delivery of certain goods and we had to make some creative adjustments and find alternative solutions. To take one example, the passerelle was delayed, but we still had to carry on testing the hydraulic pumping unit and make sure we weren’t delaying any progress.”

CRN has the advantage of a prodigious array of in-house skills at its disposable: shipwrights, engineers, cabinetmakers, electricians, mechanics, welders,  painters, marble-workers and upholsterers. “Every day we had 60 to 80 people on board, a small factory, and that is not including the workshops,” Delpini says.

“I’m proud that this is a full Italian boat,” he continues. “The main parties and subcontractors are all Italian, and most are from the local area. Apart from the American engines, most of the machinery is made or customised in Italy and the interior design was all done here too.

“I’m very happy with what we’ve done and that this boat ended up with lovely owners,” Delpini adds. “We were surrounded by a nice team that faced things in an enthusiastic way and were determined to find good solutions.”

While the transformation of the yacht is impressive, so is the speed at which it was all done. This rapid turnaround crowns CRN’s accomplishments. “When the new owners arrived we had only six months to update the interior before the delivery [in May], and the only things that were not changed were the walls and the ceiling,” comments Piacenti. “The look and feel now is completely different.”

Once understated and softly spoken, the newly reborn Rio is a completely different character.  It’s a livelier personality, one that exudes vitality. Its motto could be “Never a dull moment”. This is a yacht that promises to brighten up your day and show you the fun side of life.
