The Rizzardi INfive is a beautiful and highly capable yacht, reflecting 40 years of boat-building expertise from the Rizzardi shipyard. With a sporty design and advanced performance, the INfive is a 16-meter vessel following the larger INsix model, designed to deliver exceptional experiences on the water.
Exterior Design and Layout
The exterior of the Rizzardi INfive features sculpted lines that highlight every element, including the air intakes for the engine room. The main deck is cleverly divided into a sunbathing area at the bow, a protected area under the hardtop, and a spacious swimming platform at the stern. This classic configuration is both functional and elegant.
At the bow, a long sunbed and technical area are well-protected by a sturdy railing. The large, retractable roof provides ample light and air to the protected area on the deck. The layout includes a dining area with a long table in front of a sofa, which can be reduced if needed. The right side features a kitchen area with a fridge located under the pilot's seat, and a sink and stove area designed to contain pots and splashes.
Interior Design and Customization
The first model of the INfive features three cabins plus a crew cabin, but customization options are available to suit individual preferences. The interior includes a dinette with a sofa and table on one side and the kitchen on the opposite side. Other possible configurations include kitchen furniture on both sides of the hull with a central corridor leading to the owner's cabin.
The master cabin is spacious and elegantly designed, with a rounded bed and storage spaces that facilitate movement. The en-suite bathroom features a separate shower and is adorned with materials in matching tones. A guest cabin with a double bed is positioned centrally in the hull, offering reduced motion perception and ample height. The third cabin has a single bed, but can be configured with two double cabins if desired.
Performance
At the helm of the Rizzardi INfive, a joystick controls the two thrusters, making maneuvering easy even with surface drives. Equipped with two 800-horsepower MAN engines and Top System surface drives, the yacht demonstrates exceptional handling and efficiency. The automatic trim control system simplifies the adjustment of the boat's attitude, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride.
During testing between Genoa and Punta Chiappa, the INfive achieved a planing speed of 14 knots with the bow raised just 3-4 degrees above the water. At 1,700 RPM, the yacht reached a speed of 30 knots, maintaining an acoustic comfort level of around 85 dBA. The deep V hull and surface drives work in perfect harmony, providing an exhilarating and smooth ride.
At cruising speeds of 33 knots, the fuel consumption is about 6.8 liters per nautical mile, with the fuel tank fully loaded. When pushed to maximum power, the INfive's automatic system adjusts the trim tabs and surface drives to maximize speed and efficiency, demonstrating the yacht's high-performance capabilities and advanced design.
Conclusion
The Rizzardi INfive combines high performance with luxurious comfort, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy fast cruising and elegant design. The customizable layout and advanced propulsion system ensure a tailored and enjoyable experience on the water. Piloting the Rizzardi INfive is not only a pleasure but an exciting and rewarding adventure.
