Jeff shares our same commitment and vision for Riva", said Simone Meletti, managing director of Ferretti Group Americas. "I'm confident Jeff Brown Yachts will be a leading player for Ferretti Group and will make an important contribution to the continuing growth of the Riva brand in the U.S. market."

"It's an absolute honor to represent Riva on the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego", commented Jeff Brown, owner of Jeff Brown Yachts. "Riva is a storied brand that I have admired for my entire life so to represent the brand exclusively on the West Coast of the United States is truly a privilege".

With a consolidated network of offices in San Diego (CA), Newport Beach (CA), Sausalito (CA), Seattle (WA), Kailua-Kona (HI) and Wrightsville Beach (NC), Jeff Brown Yachts stands out as the fastest growing dealer on the West Coast, ready to offer customers a tailor-made service covering sales, repairs, refitting and maintenance and reflecting the attention to detail and professional approach that have always been signature features of the Riva brand.

With over 30 years of experience, Jeff Brown and his team provide a high-end service, allowing customers to fully enjoy the unique experience that only a Riva yacht can offer.
