Riva, the legendary Italian shipyard and cornerstone of the Ferretti Group, has officially launched the first unit of its Riva 112 Dolcevita Super series at the brand’s La Spezia facility. Measuring 34.4 metres, this next-generation model brings a “radical restyling” to the brand’s popular flybridge yacht, blending sleek Italian flair with cutting-edge innovation and exceptional onboard luxury. The yacht is scheduled to make her public debut at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival.
A Bold New Take on the Dolcevita Lifestyle
The design comes courtesy of Officina Italiana Design, Riva’s long-standing collaborators, known for their ability to merge classic Italian elegance with modern dynamism. While keeping Riva’s signature sporty, assertive profile, the 112 Dolcevita Super introduces significant refinements across both exterior and interior spaces.
One of the key highlights is the beach club, featuring a 35-square-metre ultra-low swim platform, ideal for enjoying the water with ease. This space also includes a built-in sun-sofa, cleverly engineered storage for two SeaBobs, and a hidden garage for a tender and Jet Ski.
Enhanced Outdoor Living
The cockpit offers a social layout with twin sofas and modular furniture, while the bow area provides sunpad seating with an optional Jacuzzi installation for full Mediterranean indulgence.
Up top, the flybridge has undergone a complete transformation. The space now features freestanding furniture, a central cocktail bar, bar stools, a TV, and a spacious sofa lounge, turning it into an open-air salon perfect for both relaxation and entertainment.
Interiors: Classic Meets Contemporary
A standout feature of the Riva 112 Dolcevita Super is its customizable main saloon layout. Hull #1 features a dining area aft and lounge midships, reversing the more traditional configuration. High-gloss rosewood, paired with luxurious black leather detailing, defines the rich, modern classic aesthetic of the interiors, also visible in the owner’s suite.
Designed for Comfort and Silence
The design team paid special attention to guest comfort, with enhancements to acoustic insulation throughout the yacht. Notably, a reinforced bulkhead now separates the VIP staterooms from the crew quarters, and flooring materials have been upgraded to reduce vibrations and slamming at sea.
Performance & Power
With a 7.3-metre beam, the yacht offers a spacious feel without compromising speed. Powered by twin MTU engines, the Riva 112 Dolcevita Super is expected to reach top speeds of 25.5 knots, delivering both comfort and performance.
Riva’s Ambitious Road Ahead
The launch of the Dolcevita Super marks a new milestone in Riva’s ongoing evolution. The yard currently has 16 superyachts on order or under construction, including its largest to date—a 70-metre hybrid vessel for a loyal Riva client.
With the 112 Dolcevita Super, Riva reaffirms its position at the forefront of luxury yachting—effortlessly blending heritage, innovation, and elegance in a vessel that truly lives up to its name.
