The latest model in the new-generation Riva flybridge range, the new Riva 90, had her world preview at the 58th edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The 90-foot yacht complements the successful Riva 100 Corsaro and the Riva 110 Dolcevita, expected for launch in early 2018.
Officina Italiana Design, the Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee, and the Group’s Engineering Department have been collaborating to design and develop the Riva 90’ The new yacht combines and enhances all the most significant qualities of her predecessors. Among these, her stunning exterior styling, featuring a sleek and dynamic profile and the generous use of glass for the hull-mounted windows, from the stern to the wide-body owner’s suite on the main deck and on the raised pilothouse.
The stern area features the innovative Ferretti Group’s patented concealed stairway system, already installed on the new 56’ Rivale. The garage can accommodate a Williams 395 tender and a personal watercraft, which can be launched independently.
Three engine configuration options are available for the Riva 90. Standard propulsion is a pair of MTU 12V 2000 M96L engines (1948 MHP each) for a cruising speed of 22 knots and a maximum speed of 26 knots. Alternatively, owners can choose twin MTU 16V 2000 M84 engines (2218 MHP each) for a cruising speed of 24 knots and a maximum speed of 28 knots. A third option, which is installed on the first unit, is a pair of MTU 16V 2000 M93 engines (2435 MHP each) for a cruising speed of 26 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots (preliminary data).
The Riva 90 will be equipped with underway and zero-speed stabilising fins as standard and, upon request, can also include Seakeeper gyro stabilisers.
