Riva 110’ Dolcevita:<br />
the flybridge that breaks the mold<br />
The new Riva flagship rewrites the legend<br />
of the world’s most iconic shipyard<br />
As majestic as a masterpiece of art, as<br />
glamorous as the most magical age in<br />
modern history, Riva 110’ Dolcevita is the<br />
fleet’s new fibreglass-based flagship. It<br />
follows Riva 100’ Corsaro as the newest<br />
model in the brand’s flybridge range.<br />
Created through a collaboration between<br />
Officina Italiana Design, the studio founded<br />
by Mauro Micheli alongside Sergio<br />
Beretta, Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy<br />
Committee and the company’s Engineering<br />
Department, 110’ Dolcevita is a flybridge<br />
of unspeakable beauty manufactured<br />
in La Spezia, at the production plant for all<br />
models between 67 and 110 feet.<br />
The vessel’s all-new design features an<br />
overall length of nearly 34 metres with a<br />
beam of 7.27 metres. The exterior design<br />
stands out for its super sporty profile. To<br />
the stern, lateral structures in fibreglass<br />
and glass further enhance the yacht’s aerodynamic<br />
qualities.<br />
EXTERNAL AREAS<br />
One of the most significant innovations on<br />
the Riva 110’ Dolcevita is the interconnected<br />
exterior area of the flybridge and bow:<br />
this makes it possible to have an “infinity<br />
deck” with approximately 34m² of unbroken<br />
social areas running from the far end<br />
of the stern to the far end of the foredeck.<br />
The stern is fitted with the ground-breaking<br />
Submersible Hatch: the garage door<br />
opens onto the swimming platform to<br />
form a large beach club right on the water’s<br />
edge. The platform can also be lowered<br />
below water level, offering guests the<br />
opportunity to fully enjoy the benefits of<br />
the stern area. When further submerged,<br />
the lift conveniently floods the garage to<br />
allow the tenders to be easily launched: it<br />
is possible to have either a Williams 505<br />
and a jet-ski, with independent launch, or<br />
a larger tender (Williams 565) and jet-ski,<br />
to be towed sequentially.<br />
The flybridge can be accessed from the<br />
stern via a spectacular steel and teak<br />
staircase. Surrounded by a painted carbon-fibre<br />
lifeline, it can be fitted with<br />
free-standing furniture at the stern. Proceeding<br />
further, you will find a cocktail corner<br />
whose bar unit features an automatic<br />
top cover and an informal dining area, before<br />
reaching the monkey bridge located<br />
starboard, at the far end of the forward<br />
area. The innovative hard top boasts an<br />
asymmetrical design and can be enhanced<br />
by a plate glass sky light and polished<br />
stainless steel inserts on request. The<br />
predominant features in the forward area<br />
are a large C-shaped sofa facing the bow<br />
and a central sun pad. The standard layout<br />
features another sun pad at the far forward<br />
end, which conceals a garage where it is<br />
possible to store a second tender or a water<br />
toy with its respective davit.<br />
Alternatively, the owner can opt for a jacuzzi<br />
covered by a casing with sun pad,<br />
which slides to reveal the hot tub while<br />
concealing the mooring room, thus offering<br />
guests the utmost exclusivity. This<br />
