Riva launches new flagship

Italy’s Ferretti Group has announced the launch of Riva’s new Riva 68’ Diable, flagship of the Riva Sarnico site. Sporty yet elegant, the yacht touched water for the first time on Lake Iseo. It was built at Riva’s Sarnico shipyard and is scheduled to make its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.

“Riva 68’ Diable is the irresistible temptation to which every Riva owner and fan can’t wait to succumb. It looks like a design from the future, but is also a fantastic journey through Riva’s hallmark style and sophisticated detailing,” says Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi.

“An unrivalled mix of innovation and masterful hand craftsmanship, it offers outstanding performance and unparalleled comfort. I understand the enthusiasm generated around this incredible boat and it gives me immense pleasure.”

One of the stand-out features of the Riva 68’ Diable is the innovative built-in hard top, with a clean, linear design that hides the technical and technological elements from view. It also protects and shelters the central areas of the yacht, including the dining area and the helm station on the main deck. The result is total coverage and maximum comfort, without sacrificing the enjoyment and sportiness of an open yacht with a top speed of 40kt.

Another functional design feature is the sunroof that can be opened in two directions (forwards and reverse). There are three cabins for six guests on the lower deck, arranged around an open space containing a galley and a dinette for versatility and convenience.
