110 Dolcevita
The Riva 63 Vertigo is a powerful 64.2-foot motoryacht with an open deck first launched at the brand’s La Spezia, Italy shipyard in 2007. A collaboration between naval architect Mauro Micheli, Officina Italiana Design, and the Ferretti (Riva’s parent company) engineering team, the 63 Vertigo by Riva Yachts cuts a sleek, aggressive profile, with a distinct reverse sheer, arrow-shaped windows, and emphatic hull lines thanks to a contrast between the silver body and a flourish of black paint along the topsides, each of which screams ‘forza!’
Two short stairways on either side of the modest swim platform lead up to a large sunpad. The 63 Vertigo’s open deck will be a guest favorite, a perfect perch for seeing and being seen while in dock or taking in the elements at sea. This space features a large settee for soaking up the sun’s rays, as well as a table for al fresco dining. The forward helm station features a chair that can be configured to seat up to three people, and comes equipped with four screens, ZF Smart Command electronic controls, a Raymarine C120 GPS/plotter, and a Simrad RS82 DSC VHF system, among other high-tech goodies.
Below deck, you’ll find a curvy sofa, perfect for gathering around the long wengewood dining table that sits up to eight. Large windows in the topsides flood this space with light. The galley is located to port, and though small, it is laid out with plenty of workable space and storage. There are three cabins for owner and guests, with a stunning aft owner’s suite replete with a queen-sized bed and natural light reflecting from the windows onto two mirrored bulkheads. A folding vanity, heaps of storage space, and large ensuite bathroom starboard with a separate shower offer all the comforts of home, and then some. Those lucky enough to stay in this cabin will enjoy the shower, which also doubles as a sauna. At the bow is a double VIP suite with a roomy hanging locker and further storage at the foot of the bed. Between the larger cabins is the smallest suite, which feature L-shaped bunk beds with access to a fully equipped bathroom that also acts as the day bed. The crew quarters, which features a small crew cabin, is located all the way aft.
The 63 Vertigo is powered by two 1,360hp MAN V12 1360 CRM diesel V-drives which reach top speeds of over 40 knots and a cruising speed of 35 knots.
