A record-breaking Riva: 70Metres of incredible beauty.

Friday, September 27, 2024

The shipyard announces the construction at the Ferretti Group Superyachts Yard of the first Riva 70Metri, the largest Riva flagship superyacht in the brand’s history.
 

Ancona, September 27, 2024 – It is the first Riva 70Metri, the largest flagship superyacht in Riva's history; over 180 years of challenges and successes of the shipyard that brought elegance to modern yachting.
 
The superyacht stands out for her state-of-the-art technology solutions, refined design and peerless comfort. With innovative volumes, elegant lines, a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, Riva 70Metri combines excellent performance and environmental sustainability in the form of latest generation hybrid propulsion, heat recovery technology and a PTO/PTI system, setting a cutting-edge standard for sustainable yacht making. 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.
 
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 70Metri promises to set the bar for thrilling experiences in the years to come. She’s a superyacht of timeless beauty that will take the magnificent universe of Riva’s style features and detailing into a new dimension, combining it with cutting-edge navigation and environmental sustainability technology,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi. “A manifesto of style, design and innovation, this spectacular flagship will lead the fantastic fleet of new Riva masterpieces with majestic elegance.”
 
“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.
 
Riva 70Metri will be built at the Riva Superyachts Division in Ancona, the state-of-the-art shipyard occupying almost 80,000 square meters where all yachts from 50 to 90 meters are built. Ancona is home to the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard, where steel and aluminium superyachts are built for the Riva, Pershing, CRN and Custom Line brands.
