Riva 110 Dolcevita makes debut in Monaco

Italian yard Ferretti Group has announced that the first model in its new Riva 110 Dolcevita series has made her world debut in Monaco.

The flagship superyacht premiered outside the Monaco Yacht Club and coincided with the Grand Prix Historique automobile race, taking place in the Principality between 11^th and 13^th May.

The 33.51-metre (110-foot) all-GRP flybridge, manufactured and launched in La Spezia, is a collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the Strategic Product Committee and Ferretti’s in-house engineering department.

Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group CEO, commented, "‘Dolcevita’ indicates a period and a style that could only be associated with a yacht of unrivalled beauty, one whose appeal will resonate in the yachting world for decades to come.

“We chose Monte Carlo for its debut because this is one of the most ‘Dolcevita’ locations in the world, and the Grand Prix Historique, which is an event where legends meet.”

Riva 110 Dolcevita features chrome inserts and extensive glazing that surrounds the main deck owner’s cabin and raised pilothouse. There is also a focus on al-fresco living throughout her design, from the foredeck seating area, complete with spa pool, to the aft sunlounging area on the upper deck.

She has been fitted with Ferretti’s unique submersible transom, which allows for quick tender launches as well as direct access to the sea. The patent-pending system boasts a garage door that can fold down to create a bathing platform before lowering into the water when needed.

The Italian yard noted that the tender garage is large enough to house a 5.7-metre Williams DieselJet RIB, as well as a Jet Ski.

The main-deck cockpit leads into the saloon, which has been described as a “luxury loft” due to its floor-to-ceiling windows and ability to open up to the elements on three sides.

On-board accommodation is for up to 10 guests split between a main-deck master suite and four VIP cabins below deck, while the crew quarters can house up to five members of staff.

Power comes from a pair of 2,601hp MTU 16V 2000 M94 engines, allowing for a top speed of 26 knots and a fast cruising speed of 23 knots.

Other Riva projects currently in development include the 28.6-metre (94-foot) Riva 90 yacht, which is expected to launch before the end of the year.
