Riva launches 100 foot Corsaro

Riva's latest object of desire is the 100ft Corsaro, the brand’s new flybridge yacht, and the result of a collaboration between Ferretti designer Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta of Officina Italiana Design, which exclusively pens Riva's fleet.

"Riva is back in the flybridge segment as a leader after creating extraordinary models that have conquered even the most demanding customers," says Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti Group’s Chief Commercial Officer.

"The Riva 100’ Corsaro has already impressed our owners with its incredible design and exquisitely stylish solutions. The wide body master stateroom, for example, is worthy of a megayacht that offers owners a large private area on the main deck. Then there are the four lower deck suites and the large fully customisable sundeck."

The first Corsaro has been sold in Asia and is under construction at the La Spezia facility in Italy. It will be launched in September in Monaco, a few days before its worldwide debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2016.

The Riva 100 Corsaro has a silhouette that is said to resemble the tip of an arrow, resulting in a sporty, streamlined profile. Large glazed windows punctuate the hull and the superstructure, ensuring visual impact as well as wonderful panoramic views from the interiors.

A new operating system patented by Ferretti allows the garage door to open and tilt down onto the beach area, creating a 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 metres 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. An engineering space and storage room has also been obtained inside the garage.

The interior is said to be characterised by its open-space design and elegant dining area for up to 10 people. 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 onboard conviviality, the suite will be replaced by a private lounge with audio/video equipment and karaoke for the Asian owner.

Forward is the large galley, including a dinette for 4/5 people, while starboard access is gained to the crew quarters.

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, identical in terms of size and fittings, will boast many details in Riva’s style and are flooded with natural light thanks to the hull windows said to be among the largest in class.

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.

The Riva 100’ Corsaro is available with two engine configurations, both MTU 16V Series 2000. Owners can choose between twin M93 2435mhp or twin M94 2638mhp 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 (preliminary data).

The Riva 100’ Corsaro will be equipped with zero-speed and underway stabilising fins, which can be replaced by gyros upon request. More at www.ferrettigroup.com.
