The result of a meticulous design process, this superyacht reimagines the brand’s classic stylistic hallmarks on a monumental scale, without affecting the formal integrity that makes every Riva immediately recognisable. 

The yacht’s balanced proportions, sleek silhouette and clean lines project an image of remarkable harmony, while the contemporary detailing and sculpted surfaces - pointed up by metallic paint - add depth and a third dimension to the profile of this refined work of design.

With a length overall of 54.83 metres and a maximum beam of 9.18 metres, the all-aluminium Riva 54Metri has a gross tonnage under 500 GT and is perfectly aligned with the timeless style that has defined the brand's identity for over 180 years.

Designed by Officina Italiana Design in collaboration with the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, the vessel maintains the classic, sleek silhouettes and aquamarine waterline that define the Riva range, finished in a sophisticated palette of Moon Grey, London Grey, and Bright Black.

The yacht is structured across four decks, all linked by a central lift, and prioritizes a seamless connection to the water. A hallmark of the layout is the use of floor-to-ceiling windows and fold-out bulwarks that transform the beach area and cockpit into expansive terraces.

The interior design emphasizes material richness, pairing natural teak with Sahara Noir and Bianco Rhino marbles, leather-clad surfaces, and polished steel detailing. The layout also ensures distinct separation between guest and crew zones to maintain privacy and professional service.

The main deck houses a 42.5-square-metre beach club with a heated pool and fold-out terraces, alongside a primary salon and a full-beam master suite at the bow. The upper deck is designed for social engagement, featuring a sky lounge and an aft al fresco dining area for ten, while the sun deck offers over 100 square metres of customized space, including a Jacuzzi and a fully equipped bar.

A unique engineering innovation is found at the bow, where fold-out sun loungers conceal a technical area with a crane for launching tenders and jet skis.

Performance and technology are central to the 54Metri experience. Powered by dual MTU 12V2000 M96L engines, the yacht achieves a top speed of 18 knots and a range of 3,600 nautical miles at 11 knots. Comfort is maintained by four electric Naiad Dynamics stabilizer fins, which allow for a lower draught of 2.25 metres while providing quieter operation than traditional hydraulic systems.

The vessel is also highly connected, utilizing Starlink satellite broadband and an integrated cybersecurity system. The onboard environment, managed by VideoWorks, allows guests to control lighting, entertainment, and mood settings through intuitive interfaces, reflecting a modern approach to the traditional Riva legacy.
