Described as a sporty thrill with uncompromised luxury, Riva’s newest flybridge yacht will make its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in France this year.

The Riva 100’ Corsaro is the result of the cooperation between Ferretti’s engineers and Officina Italiana Design, the firm that pencils Riva’s entire fleet. 

“The Riva 700’ Corsoro has already impressed our owners with its incredible design and exquisitely stylish solutions,” says Ferretti Chief Commercial Officer Stefano de Vivo. “The widebody master stateroom, for example, is worthy of a mega yacht that offers owners o large private area on the main deck Then there are the four lower deck suites and the large fully-customisable sundeck.”

 The first unit has been sold in Asia and is under construction at it the Lo Spezia year in Italy. It will be presented in September during a private preview in Monaco, a few days before its worldwide debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2016.


EXTERIOR DESIGN

Almost 30 m long (98.1 ft), the Riva 100’ Corsaro’s silhouette resembles the tip of an arrow, resulting in a sporty, streamlined profile. Large glazed windows punctuate the hull and the superstructure, ensuring a breath taking visual impact as well as wonderful panoramic views from the interiors.

The uninterrupted large hull window with Integrated portholes on both sides connects the guest cabins, while on the main deck glazed surfaces run up to the salon and the forward master suite.

On a raised level, the wide front and side windscreens effectively protect the helm station.

The sun deck with hard top combines elegance, aerodynamic design, and comfort.


AFT AREA

The entire aft area is a shining example of how form and functionality can be integrated in a system that applies cutting edge technological research to ensure the yacht can be used and enjoyed the fullest. A new operating system exclusively patented by Ferretti allows the garage door to open and tilt down onto the beach area, creating large beach club at water level. Once the door is over the platform, it automatically aligns and then lowers diagonally under the water together with the central part of the platform. In this way, the garage is flooded to launch or haul out the tender (up to 4.45 m long) and jet-ski.

The platform can then be submerged to various depths, allowing guests to prepare for sea activities or simply relax in the water. A technical and storage room has also been obtained inside the garage.


MAIN DECK

After reaching the cockpit from the beach area or via the concealed passerelle, guests are welcomed to a spacious lounge with a forward-facing sofa and a large fixed table with three more outdoor seats.

To starboard, a stairway leads to the flybridge.

The interior is characterised by its open-space design and is fitted out as a living area with a C-shaped sofa, a low table, and a cabinet with a TV screen that can be concealed in the ceiling panel. The dining area seats up to 10 people. The glazed window left of the dining table can open up on to a walkway, while the corresponding bulwark can be lowered to provide an exclusive outdoor panoramic terrace.

The central area divides on-board circulation flows, ensuring utmost privacy for guests and freedom of movement for the crew.

The ‘noble’ part of the yacht is on the port side. Beyond the dining room, there is a lobby also accessible from the exterior walkway with a day head and the staircase leading to the suites. Further forward, a second door opens into the magnificent wide-body master stateroom, featuring a central double bed and a walk-in wardrobe. The suite is furnished with a writing desk/vanity table with a panoramic view to starboard, and an armchair with a coffee table on the left. The large forward bathroom is divided into three zones: the shower stall, a central area with twin washbasins, and a separate WC. On the first unit customised to enhance on board conviviality, the suite will be replaced by a private lounge with audio/video equipment and karaoke.

The crew can follow their own dedicated circulation route, continuing on starboard up to a lobby from where one can step outdoors and reach the forepeak or climb a few stairs leading to the raised helm station.

Forward is the large galley, including a dinette for four to five people, while starboard access is gained to the crew quarters.


LOWER DECK

In the standard version, the layout will include four guest suites. Three doubles and a fourth with twin beds, all with a spacious heads and separate shower. The two aft cabins are flooded with natural light thanks to the 1.86-sq-m hull windows. An alternative layout has a huge full-beam suite aft, a solution that the owner of the first unit chose for his suite. The crew quarters are located forward. Below deck, a second dinette with laundry corner leads to the captain’s cabin, with private head, while the crew have two cabins with bunk beds and shared head.


UPPER DECK AND OUTDOOR AREA

The sun deck offers breath-taking views with protection offered by the handrail that encloses it. The central and forward areas, protected by the hard top, can also be reached from the raised helm station. Starboard is the external pilot station, with a sola for the co-pilot too. Behind it, the flybridge can be furnished with a large ‘al fresco’ dining area to port, while on the right a cocktail bar will be the perfect location for parties. The aft area, to which access is also gained from the cockpit, is fitted out with freestanding furniture. A second private lounge, separate from the technical area for anchoring operations in the bow, overlooks the pilot house and features a large central sun pad, beyond which Is a comfortable sofa. This area can be protected with curtains or an outdoor sheltering system upon owner’s needs and tastes.


ENGINES AND PERFORMANCE

The yacht is available with two engine configurations both MTU 16V Series 2000. Owners can choose between twin M93 2435 mhp or twin M94 2638 mhp power units, which will push the yacht to a cruising speed of 24.5 knots and a maximum speed of 27.5 or to 25 knots and 29 knots respectively.
