The first unit of the new flybridge yacht has been launched in La Spezia, an evolution of the Riva 110' Dolcevita with expanded volumes and spaces redesigned to offer an even more immersive experience in direct contact with the water.

The name is a promise of superior well-being and comfort, combined with a deep sense of connection with the sea—Riva 112' Dolcevita Super, the flybridge that offers a new concept of life on board.

An evolution of the Riva 110' Dolcevita, one of the most highly acclaimed yachts in recent years, the first unit of Riva 112' Dolcevita Super was launched in La Spezia at the Riva shipyard, where models from 70 to 130 feet are produced. Like all Riva creations in the past 30 years, the new model was penned by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design - the studio that designs all Riva boats on an exclusive basis - working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.

With a length overall of 34.37 m (112' 9") and a maximum beam of 7.27 m (23' 10"), the new Riva 112' Dolcevita Super has the sleek and assertive profile featured on all the latest yachts in the flybridge range. Redesigned spaces and increased dimensions: the numerous innovative solutions introduced on board are designed to provide guests with maximum functionality, extraordinary liveability and an increasingly emotional connection with the sea.

The main strengths of the new made-to-measure yacht, in line with growing demand from owners, are the expansive outdoor spaces, where the concept of connection with the water finds its ultimate expression. The beach club in the stern, where an ultra-low 35-square-metre platform skimming the surface of the water offers direct, easy access to it, is enhanced by two large bulwarks that swing out to form side terraces, increasing the size of the area. The central section of the beach club contains an extra-large sofa for lounging in the sun, with a ventilated storage space created behind it for the safe storage of two Seabobs, while the large garage under the sun pad can house a tender and a jet ski. The spacious 24-square-metre cockpit can be personalised across the board according to the owner's tastes. Designed as a relaxation area overlooking the sea, it features two large sofas and is rounded out with freestanding furniture and a built-in unit. In the bow, as well as a large C-shaped sofa and an oversize sun pad, the owner can choose between another sofa or a Jacuzzi.

The flybridge furnishings have been completely redesigned to maximise comfort: in the stern, the generous living area is decorated in a welcoming and versatile style with freestanding furniture, while in the central area a cocktail bar with stools and a TV with a hi-lo system face a large sofa with a low table.

The interior spaces have also been optimised in a radical restyling. On the main deck, the lounge can be configured with two different layouts: the first, chosen by the owner for unit number one, has the dining area aft and the lounge midships, while the second layout is more traditional, with the lounge area and generous sofas in the entry area and the dining area in the centre—a design solution that Riva 112' Dolcevita Super shares with her little sister, Riva 102' Corsaro Super. The master suite has been made even more special by original details, including a new wardrobe in the entry area and larger windows that let light flood in and offer a magnificent panoramic view.

The dominant wood used in the interiors is high gloss rosewood, paired with decorative elements in the black hammered leather featured in the main lounge and master cabin detailing.

There was a special focus during the design process on guests' acoustic comfort. On the lower deck, for example, the bulkhead separating the crew area from the guest area - where the four VIP cabins with en suite bathrooms are located - has been reinforced, and the flooring has been completely redesigned to further reduce vibrations and slamming.

The standard version of the new Riva 112' Dolcevita Super is fitted with two MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, each with an output of 2,638 horsepower, driving the boat to a top speed of 25.5 knots and a cruising speed of 23 knots (preliminary data). Alternatively, the owner can opt for two MTU 16V 2000 M97L engines, also 2,638 hp, fitted with an SCR system for nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction. Three dashboard configurations are available: standard with four Hatteland 19-inch monitors; premium with four 26-inch monitors or, the choice for the first unit, super-premium with two 49-inch Boening monitors. Riva 112' Dolcevita Super is equipped with two zero speed and under way stabilizer fins and Humphree interceptors, while two optional Seakeeper NG18 gyroscopic systems are also available for additional stabilization.

The first unit will make its official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025.
