In Their Own Words

Owners, industry leaders, and friends on what it's like to build, buy, and sell with Robert Riva and the Paramount Yachts team.

Suze Orman
We haven't found our perfect boat yet, but we've already found our perfect broker, Robert at Paramount Yachts. His energetic enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and unwavering professionalism are truly exceptional. He brings clarity and confidence to what can be a complicated process. That's rare and that's why you should want to work with him too.

Robert combines market knowledge, discretion, and genuine care in a way that makes him far more than a broker. He became a trusted friend and advisor to our family. Look nowhere else for your yachting needs.

Peter Schiff

Owner of Sunreef 60 Eco Power, Laughing Cats

At the Cannes Yachting Festival, I told the Lapp family that Robert was a big reason I purchased my Sunreef. He's genuine, considerate, and thoughtful—qualities that made me confident the company shared the same values. I'm a big fan of Robert's, and when it's time to move to a larger boat, he'll be the one I call.

Tim Ciasulli
Buying a yacht…and especially building a yacht…requires a relationship with a broker with integrity, knowledge, and passion for excellence. Robert Riva possesses those values…that's why he started Paramount!

John Chenciner
Robert's a pro. He sold my 60 foot Catamaran and he is now selling my 80 footer. More than just a broker — he is someone I trust and respect, and I now consider him a friend.

Mischa Van der Vliet
I worked closely with Robert when building my new Sunreef and again when I listed it for sale after my circumnavigation. He was knowledgeable, professional, and managed to sell it for more than I spent buying it. My wife and kids love him and he has an open invitation to visit us in Amsterdam. We will absolutely be using him when we decide to go back on the water.

Erik Pilegaard
Robert is the best broker I've had the pleasure to work with and I wouldn't go anywhere else with my yacht purchase or sale needs. He sold my 80 foot yacht in under a month and continued to take care of me long after the transaction was over. I'm listing my second yacht with him now.
