Riva Cento is a new open model invigorated by a sporty identity that enhances the brand’s classic and elegant character with new details, both stylistic and functional. With an overall length of 11.88 m (39 ft. 0 in.) and a maximum beam of 3.50 m (11 ft. 6 in.), the Riva Cento stands out with her soft and sinuous profile.
The spacious cockpit is furnished with a C-shaped sofa served by a stainless steel table with a glossy lacquered mahogany top, equipped with a lift mechanism: once lowered, the top becomes flush with the cushions, transforming the area into a second sunbathing area. The cockpit can be sheltered by a retractable bimini top with electro-hydraulic movement. The stern is one of the yacht’s most distinctive features: an electro-hydraulic system allows the hatch, equipped with integrated mahogany steps, to be opened, revealing two chaise longues with removable cushions that create two comfortable sun loungers, another transformative detail that this time creates a splendid beach area.
The hull, next to the side air intake, boasts a new steel profile, embellished with a polished mahogany insert bearing the word “Riva” flanked by small stars, a tribute to vintage models, inspired by the continuity of the yard’s heritage.
Below deck, the Riva Cento features a spacious, bright open space, organised to starboard with a fully equipped kitchen and to port with the bathroom and separate shower cubicle. The large sofa in the bow follows the shape of the hull and, by pulling out a panel from the central locker, can be easily converted into a double bed.
Two colours are available for the twelve hulls: sophisticated fireworks black, a delicately metallic black that further emphasises the boat’s sleek lines; or an elegant light grey aluminium. In perfect contrast, the leather cushions with a ribbed finish inspired by the cars of the 1950s and 1960s are also available in two colour variations: biscuit or a combination of aquamarine and white, a palette that Riva Cento shares with Riva Anniversario, another highly successful limited edition yacht.
