Designed throughout by Officina Italiana Design in collaboration with the engineering team of Riva Superyacht Division of Ancona and the Ferretti Group's Strategic Product Committee, it was developed by involving the shipowner, Piero Ferrari (son of the famous Enzo, founder of the racing marque of the same name and a partner of the Ferretti Group) from the early stages of the project. “The aim was to listen to different view points to arrive at the creation of a nautical masterpiece, aesthetically beautiful and functional. This entailed various engineering tests to minimize any possible margin of error in the construction phase,” recounts Giordano Pellacani, Sales and Marketing Director of Custom Business at Ferretti Group. “The ship’s owner loves long cruises and open spaces. So the 50-meter Riva concept started from here: a yacht for a complete experience of the sea.”

All the design choices enhance the livability of the external spaces and their connections with the interiors. Like the cockpit on the main deck with a fully opening access door making it possible to create a single large open space both inside and outside with the saloon, with bright, spacious volumes thanks to the extensive fenestration. Also on the outside of the main deck, a lounge in the bow, a true corner of privacy, is connected with the aft cockpit, by a wide side corridor on the left of the ship. The sundeck is a magnificent space of 120 square meters, 90 of which are covered by a hard top and furnished with sun beds, a swimming pool with whirlpool, dining area with barbecue and relaxation area with popup TV. The cockpit aft of the upper deck is also ideal for outdoor life, furnished with full custom armchairs and sofas.

On board, endless care is lavished on all the details. Starting from the exterior, it features mahogany, a clear allusion to the Riva tradition. It is the dominant wood characterizing the exterior and interior. Steel elements define the structures and underscore various elements; and then leather, the third material of continuity with the Riva tradition, used for upholstery and furniture. Internally the decor is defined by a harmonious alternation between light and dark tones with the dominant mahogany toned down with grey accents. Videoworks has integrated and customized the most sophisticated technologies for home entertainment, audio/video, lighting and domestics, very easy to use.
