New Model: Riva 92 Duchessa

After the hugely successful 115 Athena, flagship of the fleet since 2005, Riva continues its adventure in the super yacht segment, with a new, refined model. Curved, racy lines harmoniously design the profile of this yacht which encloses all the elegance and inimitable Riva style, as always in a solution featuring a unique, original design. Mauro Micheli's pencil, the work of his team at Officina Italiana Design and Riva's Engineering Department have once again managed to sketch a winning yacht. The novelties are numerous, both in the exterior design and in the interior layout and fittings, that won't miss to match the requests of the most demanding owners. The chromatic balance between the shades of the black American walnut and the white varnished wood of the flooring, replaced with white stone in marble powder in the dining area makes this environment welcoming. The slightly raised pilot station features a comfortable dinette for the crew. A utility room has been created under the pilot station. The galley provides access to the three crew cabins, all with en-suite bathrooms. The master cabin is located astern with a full beam bathroom located behind the bed, fitted with a shower and jacuzzi. The two twin guest cabins are set amidships whilst the VIP cabin is more advanced, also full beam. All the cabins feature en-suite bathrooms, whilst the day bathroom is on the upper floor. The cockpit features a large teak table which can seat up to eight; an elegant stairway to the right provides easy access to the flybridge. A second, smaller living-room has been created at bow, where a teak table with a six-seat sofa and the sundeck are located, the sunbed has been enlarged to accommodate up to four people and can be shaded by an awning with manual opening. The flybridge is surmounted by a fibreglass hard top providing shade from the sun’s rays sun at the pilot station and a small living-area, formed of two sofas and a teak table able to seat up to eight. A centrally-fitted Jacuzzi separates it from the sundeck. The garage is closed by a foldable door, it can house a tender or a jet-ski. When lowered, a chaise-lounge on runners can be placed inside the garage, creating an area for relaxation, suspended over the water. Equipped with twin 2218 hp MTU engines, the new 92’ Duchessa can reach a top speed of 29 knots, and a cruising speed of 26, with a 360 mile range at cruising speed. The new, refined jewel has been added to the Riva collection, and was previewed in September at the 2008 Cannes Boat Show.
