BELLA SIGNORA

The latest incorporation to the Rive catalogue is this 28 meters length yacht with fly bridge. Luxury and exclusivity reach the summit on this model, with an attention to the details that sets the trend.

Riva is an international reference in the field of luxury yachts of any length range. It is for the 30 feet motor boats and, with more reason, for the units of larger length. Crown jewel of the Ferretti Holding, the Riva team and the Officina Italiana Design lead by Mauro Micheli have put their best to obtain a spectacular result.  The outer lines of the yacht are subtle. For example, the coaming of the yacht is not straight, regardless of how much it can seem so, it is slightly concave, to play with the windows of the saloon, also lower than usual, and thus obtaining better views from the inside. The windscreen of the main steering position merges with the upper windscreen, painted in black where it was necessary, following the trend set by the SportRiva 56 and, consequently, obtaining a much more dynamic image than the one expected on a yacht of this length. The antennae arch arranged on the fly bridge also gives a dynamic touch, curved and raked towards the brow, that also acts as main support of a soft top that protects the central part of this deck. But there is a series of design elements that go unnoticed on this first unit because the hull has an anthracite colour. We talk about to the different windows arranged on the hull, integrated in three recesses on each side. In this way all the perforations are grouped, with the particularity that, on the black hull, the windows can only be appreciated when the interior lights are switched on.
