The Riva 130 is a landmark yacht, the first planing flybridge in her series to feature a full-wide-body design across three genuine decks. At over forty metres she carries remarkable volume, yet stays sleek and elegant, keeping under three hundred gross tons, a rare balance of space and grace.
Her design is a striking blend of carbon fibre, steel and glass, with three distinct lines running along a silvery hull, a subtly raked spherical-crystal windshield and all-glass fashion plates aft that sharpen both her aerodynamics and her elegance. A sporty hardtop and carbon detailing give her genuine personality.
But it is the connection to the sea that defines her. The stern sits low and open, with a spacious beach club and a cockpit spanning over sixty square metres. The bow offers a lounge, a large sun pad and other welcoming corners, while the upper deck adds alfresco dining for up to ten and the sundeck a serene place to take in the view. Five cabins accommodate up to eleven guests, with a crew of six and jet skis aboard.
She suits a family or group who want a genuinely modern flagship Riva, with volume, beach club and design in equal measure.
Wide-body space and a Riva silhouette. She should not work as well as she does, yet she does.
