Some purchases take a moment. This one took a year.
When our client first came to Miami Yachting with a vision for his ideal yacht, he knew what he wanted, but finding it was another matter entirely. Over the course of more than a year, Alex Lam worked closely alongside him, attending boat shows, evaluating vessels across multiple manufacturers and categories, and patiently refining the search until only the right answer would do. There were no shortcuts, no pressure, and no compromises.
That search ended with the 2023 Riva 90 Argo.
Alex Lam represented the buyer through every stage of this transaction, from the earliest conversations about what the perfect vessel should feel like, to the final closing. Together, they visited boat shows, walked countless decks, and weighed every option with care. When the 2023 Riva 90 Argo presented itself, the decision was clear. The process was smooth, the client was deeply satisfied, and the result was a purchase that perfectly matched his vision in every detail.
For Miami Yachting, this stands as one of the most meaningful transactions in our history, not just because of the vessel involved, but because of the trust the client placed in us over such a long and deliberate journey.
The Riva 90 Argo is a 90-foot, full-displacement motor yacht combining Riva's signature design language with state-of-the-art naval architecture. Built by Ferretti Group's most iconic brand Riva, the Cantiere Riva of Lake Como, a builder whose vessels have graced the world's most prestigious waters for over 180 years, the 90 Argo represents the current pinnacle of Italian motor yacht design.
The 2023 model features an open-plan main deck with panoramic glazing, four en-suite staterooms accommodating up to 8 guests, crew quarters, and a flybridge designed for entertaining at anchor or underway. Twin MTU diesel engines deliver a performance profile that belies the vessel's size, with a top speed exceeding 26 knots and a range sufficient for extended offshore passages.
Miami and South Florida's waterways provide an ideal backdrop for a vessel of the Riva 90 Argo's caliber. Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, and Cuba's northern coast are all within comfortable cruising range. South Florida's established superyacht infrastructure, marinas, maintenance providers, crew placement agencies, makes it a natural home for vessels of this class, and the ideal setting for a yacht as extraordinary as this one.
This is the kind of sale that defines a brokerage. Not just a transaction, a relationship, a search, and ultimately, a perfect match.
