Riva 130

The Riva 130 carries the yard's design language into full superyacht scale: 40 metres of hull and five cabins arranged to sleep 12 guests without the layout feeling stretched thin. Where smaller Rivas trade on compact sportiness, this one has the volume to separate a master suite from guest cabins properly, giving groups travelling together — extended family, two or three couples, a small corporate party — real distance from each other when they want it, and room to gather when they don't.

Based out of Sardinia, the Riva 130 suits routes that reward a bit of range without demanding an overnight commitment. A day out from Porto Cervo toward the Maddalena Archipelago, for instance, covers ground efficiently on a yacht this size, and the anchorages inside the park — sheltered, clear-bottomed bays — work well for a vessel that can sit comfortably at anchor while guests move between the swim platform and the water. It's equally suited to slower island-hopping along the Costa Smeralda coast, where the pace is dictated by which bay looks best that morning rather than a fixed schedule.

Consider the Riva 130 if the guest list is the deciding factor rather than the shortest possible boat that technically fits. Five cabins mean a family charter can bring grandparents and grandchildren without doubling up, and the same layout carries a corporate group that needs private cabins as much as shared deck space. It's a yacht for parties who want superyacht scale but still want to feel like they're on one boat together, not spread across a floating hotel.
