Italian brand Riva are celebrating their 175th shipbuilding anniversary with the introduction of the Rivale 56 Open Yacht, which boasts of being among the most exclusive open yachts in the world. Powered by twin 1000 HP MAN engines with V-Drive, the yacht boasts a cruising speed of 31 knots and top speed of 35 knots. Large glazed windows containing flush portholes run almost the entire length of the hull while the windshield protecting the pilot is also engineered to aid the aerodynamics of the hull. The stern holds a Williams 325 tender behind a carbon fiber shell. There’s also a roll bar over the deck lounge area that also supports the antennas for the various electronics. A Seakeeper stabilizer can be optionally fitted for roll reduction if the craft is taken into the open seas.
