The Riva 88' Folgore epitomizes luxury, class, and elegance in the nautical sector. Renowned for its sporty design and innovative features, it stands out among other large Riva yachts while retaining the unmistakable Riva identity.
Design and Innovation
This 27-meter yacht seamlessly blends new and classic elements. The carbon and steel handrail, along with the mahogany starter of the swimming platform, exemplify this harmonious mix. Hidden navigation lights subtly showcase the Riva logo. The yacht's name, "Folgore," meaning "flash of lightning" in Italian, is fitting given its sleek lines and powerful performance, reaching up to 5276 horsepower. The windshield is tilted backward, a hallmark of the new Riva style, complemented by a line that visually splits the hull in two.
Exterior Features
The spacious cockpit features a versatile table that converts into a sundeck, accompanied by a cocktail bar with an electric moving top, refrigerator, and ice maker. The Riva 88' Folgore belongs to the sport fly category, boasting a flybridge that, while not immediately visible, offers a luxurious and enjoyable upper deck experience. The flybridge, accessed via a steel staircase, provides an exceptional view and features carbon sofas, chairs with armrests, and a sundeck. The entire area can be shaded with an awning supported by carbon poles.
Interior Luxury
The interior of the Riva 88' Folgore exudes elegance and sophistication. The main hall boasts a ceiling height of two meters and includes a dining table for eight, complemented by a cupboard for plates and glasses. Large windows and a side access door enhance the living area's openness, while adjustable slats allow light to filter through beautifully. The yacht offers two engine options: standard twin MTU M96 engines with 2435 horsepower each or twin MTU M96L engines with 2638 horsepower each. The integrated Naviop-Simrad navigation system and the Zenta joystick maneuvering system ensure smooth and precise handling.
Accommodation and Comfort
The Riva 88' Folgore features four luxurious cabins below deck, each designed for maximum comfort and style. The owner's suite is a standout with 24 square meters of space and a ceiling height of 2.2 meters. Various layout options are available, including configurations with two walk-in closets, a vanity corner, or two separate bathrooms. The VIP cabin maintains the same high standards, with stronger contrasts in materials and colors. Two additional guest cabins, one with twin berths and another with a double bed, both offer stunning sea views.
Conclusion
Fast, innovative, and imbued with magnetic charm, the Riva 88' Folgore balances the timeless elegance of its heritage with cutting-edge design. This yacht is perfect for those who appreciate outdoor luxury combined with unparalleled style and sophistication.
