Riva 82' Diva is in the spotlight after winning “Best Custom Yacht of the Year” prize at the prestigious Motor Boat Awards, organised by Motor Boat & Yachting during BOOT Düsseldorf. This major prize confirms the success of the latest model in Riva’s flybridge range, a yacht as beautiful as she is innovative, and the new concept of interior and exterior spaces she embodies.

Like all recent Riva yachts, Riva 82’ Diva is penned by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. With a length overall of 25.29 metres and a maximum beam of 6.08 metres, 82’ Diva offers a new take on the interiors, which feature new design solutions that combine function, comfort and style, such as the stunning salon, where the living and dining areas are separated optically by a play of different heights that bestows intimacy without ever actually dividing the two settings, and the large windows offering an unbroken view of the horizon.

Praised by the jury as a “beautifully designed and masterfully crafted” yacht, Riva 82’ Diva is a genuine masterpiece of style, offering unforgettable moments at sea thanks not least to the exclusive and elegant convivial spaces. The features the jury appreciated most include the unprecedented size of the outdoor areas, designed to offer guests exclusive contact with the water and let them rediscover the pleasure in every moment on board. The spacious lounge area forward, the generous and innovative stern beach club – featuring two large wings that swing down to create lateral terraces, increasing the width of the area by over 3 metres – and the magnificent 40-square-metre flybridge, one of the most spacious in the category, ensure a cruising experience characterised by total comfort, conviviality and relaxation.  

With this award, Riva 82’ Diva confirms that the model sets a benchmark for flybridge yachts in this category, achieving the perfect balance between function, comfort and design.

La Spezia – 19 September 2023

Enchanting and exclusive even in her name, Riva 82’ Diva stole the show at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival with a stunning world preview that had everyone gasping in admiration. Bewitchingly beautiful and innovative, she rounds off the already sumptuous range of Riva flybridge yachts by adding a new dimension, not only in terms of length but also of a new concept of interior and exterior spaces.

With a length overall of 25.29 m and a maximum beam of 6.08 m, Riva 82’ Diva features restyled interiors and enhanced outdoor liveability, achieving a perfect equilibrium of functionality, comfort and design.

Like its predecessors, this new Riva success is penned by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
The agile beauty of Riva 82’ Diva is simply unique. The unmistakable features of her predecessors – such as the superstructure’s low and sporty silhouette, the distinctive shape of the forward windshield and the gleaming stainless steel detailing – work with innovative new solutions like the higher and safer side gunwales with painted composite profiles instead of traditional steel handrails.

The real stars of Riva 82’ Diva are outdoor areas of unprecedented size in this category. These generous spaces designed to put guests in close contact with the sea offer a yachting experience that takes conviviality and relaxation to the next level.

The 40-square-metre flybridge, one of the most generous on a yacht this size, is designed to give each living area its own dedicated space. In the centre, the lounge with a dinette and a large bar unit, personalized according to the owner’s tastes, is protected by a carbon fibre hard top with glass panels. The sun pad forward and another lounging and sunbathing area aft can also be furnished as desired by the owner. At the forward end of the flybridge is also the second pilot station.

The boat’s main attraction though is aft on the main deck: a spacious and innovative beach club featuring two large bulwarks (1.6 m) that swing down to create lateral terraces. This new solution for Riva increases the area’s width by over 3 metres and offers endless opportunities for fun and relaxation. There’s a large sun pad (over 2.5m x 2m) in the centre of the beach club and underneath it a garage that can accommodate a jet tender of up to 3.95 m. Moving towards the centre of the yacht, the raised cockpit fitted with facing sea-view sofas provides a living area of nearly 35 square metres and unprecedented comfort. Forward, guests can relax in a large living area fitted with a forward-facing sofa and sun pad, under which the mooring gear is stored.

Riva 82’ Diva’s interiors are in classic Riva style. They feature highly polished furnishings and contrasting pale and dark colours, as well as introducing new solutions that achieve a perfect blend of design and comfort. Italian walnut or glossy chocolate wenge are the signature wood that set the style of the yacht’s interior, paired with a light-coloured carpet and ceilings clad in white fabric that contrast with the glossy black lacquered furnishings and the black leather, a stand-out decorative feature of the yacht also found in the night area. In the lounge, the living and dining areas are optically separated by being at different heights, creating a sense of intimacy without actually dividing the two spaces: the former is at cockpit level on entering the lounge, while the latter is further forward in a raised panoramic space. Even the stair well connecting to the flybridge is part of the decor thanks to glass walls that dissolve the visual barrier between interior and exterior. The galley at the forward end of the main deck is designed with a sliding window that either closes it off from or opens it out onto the dining area, creating a seamless space. The galley provides direct access to the helm station and the port-side external walkway leading to the forward lounge area.

There are four cabins on the lower deck, all with en suite private bathrooms featuring Corian or Statuarietto marble tops: the full-beam owner’s cabin astern, the VIP cabin forward, flooded with light through the skylight formed by the glass floor of the walkway to the forward lounge area, and two double cabins, providing accommodation for a total of eight guests. The guest cabins are all decorated with signature Riva features plus novel leather elements like the bed headboards, creating an elegant contrast of textures. The crew quarters - two separate cabins with a total of three beds, a bathroom and a laundry station - are amidships and accessed via a dedicated walkway on the side of the superstructure to guarantee complete privacy for both the owner and guests.

The helm station, accessed directly from the galley on the main deck, is designed for optimum visibility and functionality, with a sliding glass partition that gives the captain an excellent view out over the starboard walkway. Blinds can be installed inside the windshield for an even more comfortable onboard experience. The helm station also has an adjustable pilot chair, a feature usually found on larger yachts. Ergonomic and elegant, it features an electro-hydraulic steering system and throttles by Xenta, plus a Simrad navigation system that integrates onboard monitoring with navigation and manoeuvring controls managed via three 16-inch monitors as standard, 19-inch monitors optional. Riva 82’ Diva is also fitted with Humphree dynamic trim interceptors and, optionally, Seakeepers and Sleipner fins to minimize rolling both at anchor and under way.

On the new Riva 82’ Diva, the owner can decide whether to install a pair of MAN V12 1800 engines for a top speed of 29 knots and a cruising speed of 26 or two MAN V12 1900 engines that drive the yacht to a top speed of 31 knots and a cruising speed of 27 knots (provisional data).

Riva 82' Diva

Genoa – 18 September 2023 - After welcoming in the new boating year against the magnificent backdrop of Monaco and Cannes, Ferretti Group is preparing to set sail for the Genoa International Boat Show, the event that’s now in its 63rd year and eagerly awaited by the entire industry.

2023 is a particularly important year for Ferretti Group which, after closing the 2022 financial year with excellent results, completed the dual listing of its ordinary shares on Euronext Milan following the debut last year on the Hong Kong stock exchange. As a result, over 50% of the share capital is traded in the market, making Ferretti Group a public company backed by Italian and international investors.

This is unique on today’s market and has enabled the Group to continue to deliver outstanding performance: in the first half of 2023, the company reported revenues of €580.8 million (+8.6% compared to the first half of 2022), a margin of 14.7% (+1.2%), a net financial position equivalent to €320 million in cash, and order intake of €573 million in the six-month period. As a result, the order backlog on June 30 increased to €1.410 billion, a rise of about 15.8% on June 30, 2022 (when it stood at €1.2 billion).
The fleet assembled for the show consists of seven amazing yachts, representing the Ferretti Yachts, Custom Line, Pershing, Wally and Riva brands, and features the new Riva 82’ Diva flybridge, which writes a new chapter in the history of this category and embodies all the brand’s refinement and elegance.

Riva 82’ Diva offers a new concept of both interior and exterior space, in which each environment is masterfully designed to optimise use of space and functionality. The outdoor areas are undoubtedly the key focus of this yacht, designed to put guests in close contact with the sea and let them enjoy the cruising experience in spaces of unprecedented dimensions for the category, starting with the 40-square-meter flybridge, one of the largest for a yacht this size.

Riva 82’ Diva will be accompanied by wallytender43X, Ferretti Yachts 860, Ferretti Yachts 580, Pershing 7X, Dolceriva and Custom Line Navetta 30, the superyacht in the brand’s displacement line that combines seaworthiness, comfort, safety and customisation in a single model. With a length of 28.43 m and a beam of 7.3 m, Navetta 30 has ambitious volumes but glides through the waves with superb elegance and grace.

“After the Private Preview in Monaco and the Cannes Yachting Festival, coming to Genoa and our splendid Italian showcase is always a special occasion. We’re in excellent shape after some hectic months focused on the Milan stock exchange listing and some major investments and we strongly believe in the development potential of our domestic market,” said Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group CEO. “To mark the occasion, we’re taking a fleet of seven amazing yachts to the Genoa Boat Show, including some important new products: Riva 82’ Diva, the flybridge that revolutionises on-board areas while preserving the Riva brand’s timeless appeal, and Navetta 30, Custom Line’s living work of art featuring clean, powerful and seamless lines.”

The new Riva 82’ Diva
pushes the boundaries of Riva's flybridge range, joining the four hugely successful current models: Riva 90’ Argo, Riva 102’ Corsaro Super, Riva 110’ Dolcevita and Riva 130’ Bellissima. Riva 82’ Diva is the new entry in the fleet, defining new aesthetic and functional standards not only in Riva’s flybridge range but for the entire category. The new concept puts the emphasis on outdoor liveability and offers a new take on the interiors. The flybridge, one of the project’s highlights, was developed to accommodate three separate spaces: a central lounge completes with dinette and bar, a sunbathing area forward, and a lounge area. Aft on the main deck, there is a spacious, innovative beach club of unprecedented size for the category and with a generous sun pad.

Preliminary Data:
• Engines:
o 2 x MAN V12 – 1800. Top speed 29 knots, cruising speed 26 knots (STD)
o 2 x MAN V12 – 1900. Top speed 31 knots, cruising speed 27 knots (OPT)
• LOA: 25.29 m
• LOH: 22.56 m
• Maximum beam: 6.08 m
