110 Dolcevita
The Riva 88 Florida is an 88-foot luxury motoryacht that was launched by the legendary Italian boat-building company Riva in 2019. With design input from the Ferretti engineering team and naval stylists Officina Italiana, this yacht represents the very best in modern Italian panache. A silver livery, a super-sharp bow entry, streamlined curves and a sleek profile combine to give this vessel a cutting-edge, aerodynamic look. Perfect for open-air voyaging, the 88 Florida can easily switch between covered, coupe-style wanderer and open-air sports yacht at the push of a button thanks to a patented Convertible Top system, while lavish lower-deck surrounds make this the ideal option for stylish multi-day voyages with the family.
A forward love-seat and a hidden, raised sunpad that can also be used as a U-shaped sofa dominate the expansive foredeck, but it is at the opposite end of the boat where you are likely to find most guests. To stern there is a full-beam hydraulic bathing platform and a tender garage, while steps up lead to a four-zone elevated sunpad hugging the transom and a lavish sofa in cream-toned leather in the elegant, teak-lined cockpit. Two wet-bar stations out here provide chilled storage, an outdoor grill, a sink and an ice-chipper, while further forward there is an L-shaped sofa with an extending dining table, a starboard side loveseat and, nestled behind a sloping windscreen, a companion chaise-longue so you can watch your captain in action. A central helm sofa faces the modern non-glare dashboard, where you will encounter a trio of 17-inch touch-screens, ZF throttles, a Seakeeper stabilizer switch, Xenta power-steering, joystick handling, VHF radio and an innovative engine monitoring system.
Headroom of almost 7 feet and panoramic side glazing enhance the breezy atmosphere down on the lower-deck, where honey-toned timber, elm-wood accents, decadent white leather, steel frames and cream carpeting present an elegant and restrained vibe. An open lobby with two sofas faces a walk-in galley with all of the appliances needed to keep guests well fed, while heading toward the bow you will find a trio of double of twin staterooms with timber-lined lockers and en-suite bathrooms with enclosed shower stalls. Heading amidship you will discover a full-beam owner’s stateroom with a king-sized bed, a work-desk, a bespoke set of closets and a lavish bathroom with a wet-room shower. To aft there is a separate crew quarters for two with its own dinette facilities and bathroom.
Powered by twin 2435HP MTU 16V 2000 M96L shaft-drives, you will enjoy top speeds breaching the 40-knot barrier and a swift cruising speed of up to 34 knots. At this lower pace the yacht can traverse the seas for up to 340 nautical miles before its 1981-gallon fuel tank needs to be topped up, while a GRP displacement hull delivers a smooth and efficient ride.
