Our fleet
Les Rives Speedboats
Fifteen custom-built boats, designed for Vietnam's rivers.
Les Rives runs a fleet of fifteen ten-metre speedboats, custom-designed for Vietnam’s waterways and built to our specification by a joint Australian-Vietnamese yard. Quality fittings and soft furnishings keep every trip comfortable.
Fast where it counts, gentle on the river
We co-developed a stable, shallow-draft hull that slips into the jungle-fringed canals around Saigon while leaving only a small wake, so our impact on the water stays light. Because we travel far to reach the quieter, more beautiful stretches of river, the boats are built for speed too, driven by quiet, powerful Yamaha four-stroke engines shipped from Japan.
The only fleet here on Yamaha's schedule
We are the only boat operator in Ho Chi Minh City that strictly follows Yamaha’s maintenance procedures, servicing each engine every 100 hours and replacing any that passes 4,000. Every boat carries full international-standard safety kit, including Red Cross first-aid kits, ample life jackets and child flotation devices.
