Riva's latest masterpiece is a sight to behold, and it's not just about size. This 112-foot superyacht is a testament to Italian craftsmanship and luxury. But here's where it gets intriguing: it's not just a bigger boat; it's a masterpiece of design and engineering.
The renowned Riva shipyard, famous for the iconic Riva Aquarama, has unveiled the 112 Dolcevita Super, a larger and more opulent version of its 110 Dolcevita sibling. This new yacht made its grand entrance at the Cannes Yachting Festival, leaving everyone in awe. And the brains behind this beauty? Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, the dynamic duo from Officina Italiana Design, who have been crafting Rivas for three decades. But wait, there's more! They collaborated with the Ferretti Group's Engineering department and a committee headed by Piero Ferrari, son of the legendary Enzo Ferrari. Talk about a dream team!
The 112 Dolcevita Super boasts a striking design, starting with its beach club. Imagine a 378-square-foot sanctuary by the water, complete with extendable bulwarks for extra terrace space and a massive sun pad. It's a water toy enthusiast's dream, accommodating a tender, a Jet Ski, and two Sea-Bobs. And if that's not enough, there's an optional Jacuzzi in the bow.
Step inside, and the main deck greets you with a spacious 538-square-foot main salon adorned with rosewood and high ceilings. The first owner's unique touch? A dining area at the front with leather seats and a stainless-steel and glass table, followed by a living area with three leather sofas and a 75-inch TV. The owner's suite is a sanctuary in itself, featuring walk-in closets, a vanity desk, large windows, and a luxurious bathroom. Below deck, four guest cabins, two of which are VIP, offer the same rosewood elegance and privacy.
But what powers this floating palace? A pair of mighty 2,638 HP MTU 16V 2000 engines, available in two configurations. The M96L reaches a top speed of 25.5 knots and cruises at 23 knots, while the M97L variant offers reduced NOx emissions. And for those who love exploring shallow waters, the superyacht's draft of less than seven feet makes it a breeze.
The pièce de résistance? A 646-square-foot flybridge with a Corian counter bar, a dining table, a cozy sofa, and an asymmetrical carbon hard top. It's the perfect spot to soak in the sun and the sea. And there you have it—the 112 Dolcevita Super, a yacht that embodies la dolce vita.
