Riva’s Newest Superyacht Is 112 Feet of Italian Elegance
Riva just gave us a closer look at its latest Italian stunner.
The famed shipyard, best known for the Riva Aquarama, has just unveiled even more of its new 112 Dolcevita Super, which made its debut back at the Cannes Yachting Festival. The 112-footer is a larger iteration of the 110 Dolcevita, packed with all the elegance and style you’d expect from the Italian builder alongside broader spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and more.
The superyachtSuperyachtA large, luxurious vessel typically over twenty-four meters in length, crewed by professionals and equipped with high-end amenities. Superyachts symbolize luxury at sea, and the segment is covered extensively inGo to Superyacht Glossary’s sculpted lines and bold profile come from the minds of Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, the founders of Officina Italiana Design that have brought every Riva to life for the last 30 years; the duo partnered with the Ferretti Group’s Engineering department and a committee led by Piero Ferrari (yes, the son of Enzo Ferrari). That design prowess shows in every inch of the 112 Dolcevita Super’s appearance, starting with the beach club. The 378-square-foot area sits right at the water’s edge, along with two bulwarks that can swing out for additional terrace space, with an extra-large sun pad in the center. There’s also plenty of room for toys, with space for a tender, a Jet Ski, and two Sea-Bobs. In the bow is space for an optional Jacuzzi.
On the main deck, you’re welcomed by a 538-square-foot main salon, complete with high ceilings and plenty of rosewood about. The owner who lays claim to the first 112 Dolcevita Super chose to place a dining area in the front, with leather-upholstered seats and a stainless-steel and glass table, and add the living area in the center, home to three leather sofas and a 75-inch T.V. The nearly 370-square-foot owner’s suite can be found at the lounge’s other end. That space includes two walk-in closets, a vanity desk, large windows to take in those ocean views, and a two-sink bathroom. Moving below, the lower deck is home to four guest cabins, two of which are VIP; each accommodation has those same rosewood touches and its own ensuite.
As for grunt, the 112 Dolcevita gets its juice from a pair of 2,638 HP MTU 16V 2000 engines available in two configurations: a M96L with a top speed of 25.5. knots and a cruising speed of 23 knots, or an optional M97L version that can reduce NOx emissions. The superyacht, too, is prepped and ready for cruising in shallow waters, thanks to a draft that’s less than seven feet.
Last but not least, topping things off is a massive 646-square-foot flybridgeFlybridgeAn open upper deck on a yacht, positioned above the main cabin, with a secondary helm station and often a lounge and dining area.

All that creates a spacious lounging area on a prime perch above the seas. La dolce vita, indeed.
