54 metres of pure beauty, a masterpiece of elegance and majesty that takes the style of the world’s most famous shipyard into a new dimension: the first Riva 54Metri, the largest Riva ever built, has been launched at the Superyachts Division in Ancona at the beginning of August. With a length over 54 metres the all-aluminium Riva 54Metri has a gross tonnage under 500 GT and is perfectly aligned with the timeless style that has always defined the brand identity that makes Riva unique. Majestic and elegant, Riva 54Metri is the result of a joint effort by Officina Italiana Design, the firm of Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta and exclusive designer of the entire Riva range for over thirty years, the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. Riva 54Metri’s sleek, sporty lines capture hearts right from the very first glance: a sophisticated combination of Moon Grey, London Grey and Bright Black, with detailing in polished steel, points up the yacht’s classic, sculptural silhouette and unmistakable aquamarine waterline. The largest Riva ever built spans four decks; with the lower, main and upper decks connected by a lift located amidships. Accommodation is for ten guests in four guest cabins and a majestic master suite at the bow on the main deck. The crew area has five double cabins and a captain’s cabin next to the wheelhouse, for a crew of eleven. The spectacular outdoor areas are the stand-out feature of Riva 54Metri, designed to establish a permanent connection with the water for owner and guests, as well as to offer opportunities for fun and relaxation in complete privacy. At the stern, a large transformer platform with an extra-wide walkway provides access to the beach area, where a five-metre-long pool takes centre stage, flanked on either side by sun loungers. Five steps higher, the welcome area on the main deck is a refined space, furnished with a large sofa, armchairs and an outdoor bar that leads to the main lounge. Both hull sides in the beach club and main deck cockpit areas fold out to form magnificent terraces on the water. At the bow, the innovation that pervades Riva 54Metri takes the form of two large sun sofas that extend the lounge area and hide part of the technical space beneath from view, designed with a hinge mechanism to make it easier to launch and haul up the tender, jet ski and water toys. The interiors feature fine marble including Sahara Noir and Bianco Rhino, alternating with natural teak panelling and leather finishes to create elegant contrasts of colour and texture throughout the boat. There was a sharp focus on guest privacy, with special crew routes to ensure discreet and efficient service on all decks. Acoustic comfort was another design priority, with solutions that ensure maximum insulation and reduce vibration and noise to a minimum, including four electric stabilizer fins and two electric rudders, designed to ensure the maximum possible comfort and silence when under way. The innovative approach to the entire project is also reflected in Riva 54Metri’s helm station, which is equipped with two X-band radar systems, 5G connectivity plus a Starlink antenna, a full ECDIS system, three 27-inch touchscreens and a 44-inch stretch monitor. Riva first 54Metri is reported to be powered by twin MTU 1800hp for top speeds up to eighteen knots and a cruise of fourteen.
