It is the first Riva 70 Metri, the largest flagship superyacht in Riva’s history; over 180 years of challenges and successes of the shipyard that brought elegance to modern yachting. And it will, as always, be designed by Officina Italiana Design
Riva 70 metres: hybrid propulsion
With innovative volumes, elegant lines, a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, Riva 70 Metri will be powered whith the latest generation hybrid propulsion, heat recovery technology and a PTO/PTI system. Great emphasis was also placed on on-board acoustic comfort, thanks to the use of innovative solutions for reducing noise and vibration levels and improving the stabilisation system.
An affectionate owner
The owner, a loyal Riva customer and a great fan of the brand, worked with the design team to turn a dream into reality, creating a superyacht that, like all Rivas in recent years, is the result of collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the firm founded by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, the Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
Riva 70 metres: designer statements
“The sophisticated and extremely selective owner had a very clear idea: to build a timeless boat with classic lines and a green spirit for cruising in a style that fully respects the sea. He had been impressed by the Riva 50METRI and dreamed of a design inspired by it, one dominated by aesthetics and beyond the fashions and market logic that so often influence the creation of a new product. So we embraced this challenge with enthusiasm and conviction, because these values represent our firm’s DNA and form part of our design philosophy,” commented Mauro Micheli, Chief Designer, and Sergio Beretta, CEO at Officina Italiana Design.
