History of Rival

Rival Yachts, a highly esteemed brand in the boat manufacturing industry, began its storied journey in the early 1960s in England. The company was an ambitious endeavour initiated by three experienced seamen - Peter Brett, Dick Stratton and Mike Slack. Brett was the mastermind behind the design of their innovative crafts, and his passion for combining performance with comfort resulted in the Rival 31, the first boat launched in 1967. Boasting extraordinary qualities for an ocean cruiser, the Rival 31 received widespread recognition and admiration, effectively setting the tone for the company's future creations. Persisting with their focus on sturdy, sea-kindly cruising yachts, Rival later introduced the 32, 34, 36 and the 41, with the Rival 38 marking a significant change in their design approach. Their boats' overall craftsmanship and durability even led to several Rival yachts successfully participating in circumnavigations and transatlantic races. The company's primary manufacturing hub was based out of Southampton but later operations were moved to Burnham-on-Crouch for a period in the late 1970s.Over time, the management of Rival Yachts has changed hands a few times. The brand is currently managed by Bowman Yachts as part of its portfolio. Bowman Yachts, also known for its reputable marine craft, is now based in Emsworth, Hampshire. The continued production of Rival Yachts, especially the larger Bowman models, is a testament to the lasting value and legacy of the Rival brand. Despite the challenges met by the marine industry in recent years, Rival's unwavering commitment to its founding principles of durability and seaworthiness has cemented its place in yachting history.
