New Riva 88’ Florida. Spiritual successor of the Riva Bahamas, 88’ Florida is a revolutionary yacht which perfectly blends an open and a coupé model into one single vessel. The hull # 1 will be completed and launched by the end of 2014, with its official world première scheduled in the first months of 2015. The 88’ Florida features a cutting-edge innovation with an exclusive Ferretti Group patent installed on this new project for the very first time. Convertible Top is the name of the innovative system, designed and developed by AYT&D in collaboration with the technical partners of the Group, Besenzoni Spa and Centro Stile Srl. It turns this model into a multifunctional yacht, “convertible” because it can be transformed into an open or a coupé with one single and easy movement. The convertible top offers three different functions into one single system, due to the function that handles the aerodynamic hard top into three different positions. This new project features excellent performance, with a choice opportunity of the engines by MTU. As the standard version, 88’ Florida is fitted with two MTU 16V 2000 M93, 2435 mhp, which allow reaching a maximum speed of 38.5 and a cruising speed of 34 knots, with a range of 315 and 340 nautical miles, respectively. As an alternative option, as in the case of hull number 1, 88’ Florida, can be fitted with two MTU 16V 2000 M94, 2638 mhp. This new project by Riva, with these engines, can reach a maximum speed of 40.5 knots and a cruising speed of 36 knots, with a range of 300 and 325 nautical miles, respectively (preliminary data).

With the 76’ Bahamas the iconic Riva brand writes another page in the story of yachting. The art of yachting is enriched by a new masterpiece that brings together the charm of timeless design with the sophisticated pleasure of technological innovation. This is the idea behind the patented “C-Top” system, which enables a yacht to be transformed from open to coupé mode and vice versa. On the 76’ Bahamas, it effectively doubles the comfort and fun to be enjoyed on board. “Written into the 76’ Bahamas is Riva's current DNA: a perfect synthesis of history and tradition, of innovation and technology, of elegance and performance” says Alberto Galassi, Chief Executive Officer of the Ferretti Group. “The new convertible epitomises the synergy between excellence in yacht design and excellence in naval engineering that has produced a super sports boat. With graceful lines and rich in technical features, it is built using cutting-edge materials and sails like a dream. Owners will enjoy an unforgettable experience thanks to the sophisticated Mediterranean lifestyle offered by this yacht.”

This is the model that more than anyone else reflects Riva's natural stylistic evolution from the past to modern times. The soft, stylish lines of this 33-footer fully embody a sense of tradition; the fine, skillfully crafted timber (mahogany with maple inlays) used for the deck and the elegant leather finishes on the dashboard and the steering wheel enhance the pleasure of cruising on a timeless, classical yacht, offering unmatched comfort and emotions. The innovative electronic two-speed gearbox, installed on the standard version, allows the two powerful 370 hp Yanmar engines to accelerate even faster and ensures outstanding performances. Aquariva has become the symbol of Riva’s modern elegance and unique style and has met with great success on all continents, just like the legendary Aquarama.

Iseo is a trailer-towable 27-foot open yacht ideal for those who love cruising on both lake and sea, thanks to its easy maneuverability. It features Riva’s unmistakable design style. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to make their yacht even more precious with an exclusive tender featuring water jet propulsion and allowing cruising even in very shallow waters. Iseo is the first boat in its class boasting an infotainment system and GPS charting based on the Apple iPad platform. Its software, specifically developed for Riva, offers very interesting functions.

With this yacht Riva has reinterpreted the concept of an open yacht characterized by a typical Mediterranean style while preserving the unmistakable elegance of the entire range: class, charm and a sober look. Designed with an eye to the outer lines of the Vertigo - a very successful classical model in Riva’s range - the 63’ Virtus also draws inspiration from the Rivale’s strong personality, while also ensuring more spacious areas that guarantee excellent livability and total onboard comfort. This last-generation open craft has been conceived as a sporty yacht, created for an Owner that wants to experience the sea first-hand.
