Aviva is a 68 metres (223 ft) length motor yacht. Drafted as Aviva III, it is the third super yacht named Aviva built for Bahamas-based British businessman Joe Lewis. Launched in 2007 by Lemwerder-based German builder Abeking & Rasmussen, they undertook the overall design and interior details, while Reymond Langton were responsible for external styling.[1]

Aviva acts as Lewis's personal mobile office, housing his personal art collection, Lewis has been known to live on Aviva for months at a time. Capable of housing up to 16 guests,[1] the yacht has been refitted on at least two occasions since her 2007 launch.[2]

In 2017, the same yard completed a new Aviva for Lewis, with a hull length of 98metres.[3]
