Riva has redefined the very meaning of life on the water. With greater volume, elevated liveability and an unprecedented connection to the sea, the new Riva 112’ Dolcevita Super marks the evolution of a modern icon — and sets a new benchmark for the luxury flybridge segment.
Launched in July at the brand’s La Spezia shipyard, the new model builds on the success of the celebrated Riva 110’ Dolcevita, one of the shipyard’s most acclaimed yachts in recent years. The design once again carries the unmistakable signature of Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta of Officina Italiana Design, in collaboration with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
With an overall length of 34.38 metres and a 7.27-metre beam, the Dolcevita Super stays true to Riva’s unmistakable sophistication, yet introduces a contemporary personality defined by sculpted lines, bold geometry and thoughtfully expanded outdoor spaces — all conceived to enhance the pleasure of living at sea.
Waterfront Living, Reinvented
The first encounter with the yacht tells the whole story. At the stern, a 35-square-metre beach club transforms into a true over-water lounge. The ultra-low platform connects guests directly to the sea, while a multifunction boarding ladder allows safe boarding and effortless access after a swim. Adding to this immersive design, two bulwarks fold out to create side terraces, expanding the space to 59 m² together with the cockpit — enveloping guests in an extraordinary sense of freedom.
Beneath the oversized sun pad lies a garage large enough for a Williams 565 tender and Sea-Doo jet ski, while a second compartment stores two Seabobs. Every detail is crafted for pleasure, efficiency and seamless storage — Riva hallmarks at their finest.
Main Deck: The Art of Space and Light
The main salon, measuring over 50 m² with ceilings exceeding 2 metres, is one of the most luminous ever created on a Riva. High-gloss rosewood contrasts with black hammered leather accents and lacquered details that amplify the natural light pouring in through the expansive glazing.
Dining and lounge layouts can be customised — a rare flexibility in this size range — but the signature aesthetic remains constant: contemporary Italian luxury without excess, where elegance is expressed through perfect proportions and tactile refinement.
The 34-square-metre master suite forward is quintessential Riva: panoramic windows, dual walk-in wardrobes, a daybed by the sea view and a bathroom clad in Calacatta or Emperador Light marble. Every line reflects purposeful, quiet luxury.
Lower Deck: Comfort, Silence and Practicality
Four beautifully appointed guest cabins — two VIP and two guest suites, one with Pullman beds — all feature en-suite bathrooms and rosewood finishing matching the master suite. The acoustic insulation has been upgraded significantly, ensuring absolute silence both underway and at anchor.
A 27-m² crew area provides direct access to the galley and raised pilothouse, allowing full operational independence and total guest privacy — another detail that elevates the onboard experience.
Flybridge: The Social Heart of the Yacht
At 60 m², the flybridge is the definition of refined open-air living. Freestanding lounge furniture aft, a fully equipped 4-metre American-style bar, a fixed dining table (teak or optional polished mahogany), and the second helm station make this deck ideal for celebrations, dining, or simply drifting under the carbon hardtop’s filtered sunlight.
A portside side walkway connects the flybridge to the bow — a thoughtful safety and circulation improvement that guests will feel instantly.
Performance and Technology
With a draught of under seven feet, the Dolcevita Super is perfectly suited for shallow-water cruising. Owners can select:
| Engine | Top Speed | Cruising Speed |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × MTU 16V 2000 M96L | 25.5 knots | 23 knots |
| 2 × MTU 16V 2000 M97L (IMO III) | Slightly reduced | — |
The M97L version integrates a complete SCR emissions-reduction system, requiring a smart reconfiguration of the engine room without compromising accessibility — a remarkable engineering achievement.
The Raised Pilot House is offered in three technological configurations, culminating in the Super Premium package with dual 49” Böning displays, as chosen for the first hull.
Stabilisation comes standard via Sleipner electric fins and HYDROTAB interceptors, with optional dual Seakeeper NG18 gyroscopic stabilisers for exceptional comfort.
Dolce Vita, Elevated
With expanded volumes, immersive design and an uninterrupted dialogue with the sea, the Riva 112’ Dolcevita Super elevates the very concept of refined cruising. It is not merely an evolution — it is the contemporary interpretation of Italian luxury at sea: sensual, architectural, and timeless.
If the original Dolcevita embodied the art of living well,
the Dolcevita Super is the art of living better.
