Riva 54Metri: The Largest Riva Ever Built
On 26 June 2026, Riva unveiled its most ambitious creation to date: the magnificent 54Metri. As the largest yacht ever to bear the iconic Italian marque’s name, this all-aluminium flagship masterfully scales the brand’s legendary design language to superyacht proportions while remaining under 500 GT. With her sleek silhouette, harmonious proportions, and unmistakable Riva DNA, the 54.83-metre vessel represents a triumphant evolution of over 180 years of craftsmanship and innovation.
The result of a close collaboration between Officina Italiana Design (Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta), the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, Riva 54Metri reinterprets classic Riva hallmarks on a monumental scale. Her balanced profile combines sporty elegance with sculptural presence, highlighted by a sophisticated metallic paint scheme in Moon Grey, London Grey, and Bright Black, accented with polished steel details and the signature aquamarine waterline. Forward-sweeping deckhouse lines and angled stern sections create an instantly recognisable identity that feels both contemporary and timeless.
A standout feature is the exceptional connection to the sea. The expansive beach area on the lower deck offers over 60 square metres of space thanks to a 42.5 m² central zone with a four-by-two-metre heated pool and fold-out bulwarks that dramatically extend the usable area. Generous outdoor living spaces across multiple decks, panoramic floor-to-ceiling glazing, and fold-out terraces create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Inside, refined interiors blend natural teak, luxurious marbles (including Sahara Noir and Bianco Rhino), leather, and polished steel in a sophisticated palette that exudes quiet opulence. The yacht accommodates up to ten guests in five luxurious cabins, including a full-beam master suite forward on the main deck, supported by dedicated crew quarters for 11.
From the sophisticated sky lounge and expansive cockpit to the exceptionally equipped galley and wellness-focused beach club with gym, every detail has been meticulously considered for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate family cruising. Thoughtful separation of guest and crew areas ensures privacy and impeccable service throughout all four decks, which are connected by a central lift.
As Riva’s new flagship, the 54Metri stands as a powerful statement of Italian excellence, honouring a storied heritage while boldly charting the future of superyacht design. With her launch, the legend of Riva not only continues but reaches new heights of beauty, innovation, and seafaring sophistication.
"The Riva 54Metri is much more than the largest Riva ever built. It is the expression of over 180 years of craftsmanship, innovation and an uncompromising pursuit of beauty."
