Riva

Riva sleeps up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, with a crew of 6.

Riva measures 33.5 m / 110 ft overall. Her 7.27 m / 24 ft beam is what you feel on board: it sets how wide the decks are, and how much room the salon and the sun deck have to work with. At 26 knots flat out she is quick enough that a bay further along the coast stays a decision rather than a plan.

Riva is based in the Mediterranean and cruises the surrounding coastline and islands, on an itinerary planned around your dates and the places you want to see. She carries fuel for 430 nautical miles between refuelling stops, so a longer passage out of the region is a question of scheduling rather than capability.

Riva was built by Riva. Her exterior and interior are both by Officina Italiana Design.

Riva starts at €170,000 per week. High summer in the Mediterranean carries a premium over the shoulder months, so the same yacht in late September can cost noticeably less than in early August.

The weekly fee for Riva covers the yacht and her crew. Running costs — fuel, berthing, food, drink and shore expenses — are billed through an Advance Provisioning Allowance, typically around 30% of the fee, paid in advance and reconciled against actual spending at the end of the charter. VAT depends on the countries you cruise, and a gratuity for the crew is customary but entirely at your discretion.

Riva is taking bookings. Prime summer weeks tend to go months ahead, so if your dates are fixed it is worth putting a hold on them early — we can do that while the details are still being agreed.

Send your dates and party size through the form on this page. A broker comes back with availability, a firm quote and a draft itinerary for Riva. Weekly charters are contracted on the standard MYBA agreement, with a deposit on signature and a preference sheet — food, drink, allergies, celebrations, how you like the days paced — before you board.
