Riva 56 Rivale, 2022 – 17.3m Cruiser Yacht – Naples

This 2022 Riva 56 Rivale is offered for sale in outstanding condition, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a modern, VAT-paid, privately used luxury performance cruiser from one of Italy’s most prestigious yacht builders. Finished in striking metallic shark grey with black hard top and refined mahogany interior detailing, she embodies the unmistakable blend of sportiness, elegance, and craftsmanship that defines the Riva brand. Professionally crew maintained, winter stored indoors, and showing low engine hours, this yacht is turnkey and ready for immediate Mediterranean cruising.

General Specifications
Measuring approximately 17.3 meters in overall length, with a beam of about 4.7 meters and a draft near 1.5 meters, the Riva 56 Rivale delivers strong offshore presence within a manageable performance cruiser size. Constructed in fiberglass with a deep-V hull form, she is engineered for speed, stability, and smooth wave entry. Delivered in 2022, her construction reflects Riva’s precision lamination standards and reinforced structural zones. Teak decking spans cockpit, swim platform, and walkways, enhancing both aesthetics and durability. Wide side decks and flush deck hatches support safe movement while underway.

Performance & Engineering
Twin MAN V8 diesel inboard engines deliver a combined 2,400 horsepower. With approximately 302 engine hours recorded, she remains lightly used. Maximum speed reaches approximately 35 knots, while cruising speed in the upper 20-knot range allows efficient fast passages. Shaft-drive propulsion with performance propellers ensures dependable thrust transfer and durability. Bow and stern thrusters support precision docking. A Seakeeper NG6 gyro stabilizer dramatically reduces roll at anchor and underway, improving comfort. A 17.5 kW generator supplies onboard systems, and insulation treatments minimize vibration and noise levels.

Interior Accommodation
The yacht features a desirable three-cabin layout including a full-beam master cabin amidships with double bed and en-suite bathroom, a forward VIP cabin with en-suite, and a guest cabin with single berth convertible to bunks. Three bathrooms include enclosed showers and premium Corian finishes. The lower salon offers leather sofa seating, dining table, smart TV, and integrated audio. The galley includes ceramic hob, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and refined worktops. Gloss mahogany cabinetry and designer upholstery reflect Riva’s signature interior styling.

Exterior & Social Areas
The cockpit is arranged as a refined outdoor lounge with generous seating, wet bar, sunpads, and integrated lighting beneath the hard top. A large teak swim platform supports water access and tender launch. The tender garage includes hydraulic launch system and accommodates the included Williams 285 TurboJet tender. Exterior upholstery and covers are in excellent condition, reflecting careful ownership.

Navigation & Technology
Simrad multifunction displays provide integrated chart plotting, radar, GPS, depth, and engine data. Autopilot, AIS, DSC-enabled VHF, electronic throttle controls, trim interceptor system, chain counter, and searchlight control are installed. Seakeeper controls are integrated at the helm. Onboard monitoring displays provide system diagnostics and operational oversight.

Luxury & Comfort
A tropical-spec air-conditioning system with chiller unit cools interior and cockpit zones. LED lighting with dimmers enhances ambiance. Entertainment includes smart TVs, Wi-Fi router, and Fusion SiriusXM audio with Bluetooth connectivity across multiple zones. Electric blinds and premium upholstery enhance privacy and comfort.

Usage Potential
Ideal for luxury day cruising, weekend escapes, and fast coastal passages, the Riva 56 Rivale also suits premium charter programs where permitted. Stabilization, watermaker capability, and generator power enhance autonomy at anchor. Modern diesel engines and efficient hull design improve fuel economy relative to older sport cruiser models.
