With a splash and a grand flourish, iconic Italian shipyard Riva announces the birth of the Riva 82′ DIVA motor yacht – a new jewel in the flybridge range. But this is no ordinary vessel. With the DIVA, Riva isn’t just launching a new yacht size; they’re setting a new standard in maritime luxury.
Basking in The Beauty of the Sea
The DIVA has been crafted keeping the ocean-lover in mind. With its design emphasis on vast exterior spaces, guests aboard are treated to a breathtaking panorama of the sea. Whether you’re sunbathing on the vast 40-square metre flybridge – a truly expansive space for a yacht of this stature – or relaxing in the lounges, the embrace of the sea is never far away.
Distinctive Living Areas
Onboard, every corner has been thoughtfully allocated for luxury and comfort. The central lounge boasts both a dinette and a bar, setting the scene for unforgettable memories. Ahead, a sunbathing paradise, shaded by a sleek carbon fibre hard top dotted with glass panels. And as if that wasn’t enough, another lounge awaits at the aft.
However, the piece de resistance has to be the main deck. Imagine a spacious stern beach club, made even more expansive by two bulwarks that transform into lateral terraces. This innovation adds an impressive 3 metres to the yacht’s breadth. And for the adventure enthusiasts? The heart of this beach club houses a jet tender of up to 3.45m and a seabob, ensuring adrenaline is always at your fingertips.
Move forward, and the raised cockpit greets you. Outfitted with facing sea-view sofas, this unique living area offers a generous 35 square metres of relaxation and luxury.
A Seamless Design
The forward end of the main deck hosts a versatile galley. Want a quiet, intimate dinner? Close it off. But if an open, flowing space is more your style, simply let it blend with the dining area. Riva has taken the beauty of continuity a notch higher by integrating the stairwell to the flybridge within the décor. Glass walls envelop the stairwell, ensuring the yacht’s interior and exterior coexist without visual boundaries.
Accommodation Beyond Par
As night falls, retreat to the lower deck. Four cabins await, including three for guests and a lavish full-beam master suite. And not to forget, a dedicated space for up to three crew members ensures your voyage is always smooth sailing.
Power Meets Grace
All this beauty doesn’t compromise on performance. With two robust MAN V12 1800 engines, expect to cruise at an exhilarating speed of 26 knots and even touch peaks of 29 knots.
For those keen to witness this marriage of art and engineering, mark your calendars. The Riva 82′ DIVA will make its grand debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023. Prepare to be enchanted.
