The Riva 76’ is born: The new coupé EXPANDS the sporting range of the brand

Riva announces the new Riva 76’ coupé, already under construction in the Ferretti Group plant in La Spezia.
The new Riva creation will make its debut in September at the Ferretti Group Première event in Montecarlo, then at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2015. 

At Riva, coupé is the synonym of a sporty and yet stylish yacht, bound to immediately become a cult, the heir of a history of success.
This project has been conceived preserving the family feeling with the other models in the brand’s sporty range, and deservedly joins other true masterpieces in Riva’s recent production: the Ego Super, the Domino, and the 122’ Mythos. 

“I always feel a deep feeling pride and sense of responsibility when a new Riva yacht comes to life” – stated Ferretti Group’s CEO, Mr Alberto Galassi. The teams involved in the development of these projects are indeed living the challenging and fantastic experience of creating something unique and innovative while remaining faithful to the 173-year heritage of Riva. 

The 76' reflects exactly this vision: it collects the inheritance of the past combined with the state-of- art technology to design another extraordinary Riva masterpiece.
With this contemporary coupé and the other two new Riva models we are presenting in 2015, Riva confirms once again its role of ambassador of the Italian beauty, technology and unrivalled style.” 

The Riva 76’ stems from the cooperation between Mauro Micheli - the co-founder, with Sergio Beretta, of Officina Italiana Design (the firm that exclusively designs the entire Riva range) -, Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee, and the Group’s Engineering department. 

The Riva 76’ has a 22.98-metre (75.5 ft.) overall length and a beam of 5.75 metres (18.10 ft.).
This yacht immediately strikes for its sporty features and elegance, further enhanced by its colour shades. The first hull boasts a new shade of metal silver, the already well-known Moon Grey, which is the dominating colour, found both in the hull and in most of the superstructure. In this model, it is combined with Riva’s classical dark shade, Bright Black, which has been skilfully used to better define the stylish shapes and volumes designed by OID. The sporty look is further highlighted by the over 40 square meters of glazed surfaces: 

-  the large hull glazing, on both sides, is outlined by two elliptical surfaces, ideally connected by the Riva logo, in polished stainless steel, one of the brand’s distinctive and traditional materials;

-  the side glazing on the main deck, in turn, is ideally ‘cut through’ by a handrail installed along the edge of the superstructure, which makes the yacht’s profile even more slender. It extends the overall size of the glazing in the main salon, ensuring the utmost safety along the outdoor passageways;

- the wide windshield, supported by a central stanchion, comes in the largest possible size, in order to offer the captain the widest and most thorough visibility. 

The lowered gunwale near the side glazing ensures a magnificent view from the salon and makes the yacht look even lighter. This lowering by no means reduces safety along the outdoor passageway, as the gunwale is covered by a thin fibreglass layer polished in Bright Black, which being in contrast with the glazing, is de facto invisible in the perceived profile of the yacht. 

The spacious sun deck perfectly harmonises with the aerodynamic design and ensures the utmost privacy and relaxation, besides allowing to pilot the craft from a privileged position. 

“Light, space, style...” - says Mauro Micheli. This new coupé perfectly fits into the groove of an established Riva tradition: create boats with strong sporting spirit, offering superior performance and comfort by combining the characteristic of a flybridge with those of an open.

The large glass surfaces with double curvature, integrated into a single layout, ensures enormous spaces comparable to those of larger size yachts. I designed the Riva 76’, minimizing the conceptual barrier between inside and outside to allow the owners to truly live the sea with authentic style which is, now more than ever, a need. 

In this historical moments we must regain our optimism, allowing our lifestyle to express it, even playing a little.

The Riva 76' definitely expresses this aim: the strong desire to share what inspires us and we crave for, with the one we love."
