The Riva 56′ SportRiva is a yacht where Italian elegance and luxury meets innovative design.
“The focus of the 56′ SportRiva’s design is on the huge curved windscreen glass,” Yachting previously reported. “The windscreen panels extend across and up and over the lower helm and what looks like a secondary windscreen above is purely a contrasting decorative panel. The flybridge has its own prominent reverse-angle windscreen that challenges the flowing lines and adds a hint of aggression to the style but you reap the benefits of this screen out at sea when traveling at speed.”
“As far as style goes [Riva’s] are top of the tree; but it’s always matched to innovative design. The SportRiva concept hews to this tradition by combining the best features of sports and flybridge cruisers, delivered with a high level of passion.”
Step aboard Gabriela, a 2012 Riva 56′ SportRiva, and climb the teak ladder steps that lead from the aft deck up to the flybridge. The after section of flybridge has two chaise-style lounge chairs with beige waterproof fabric and backrests, which is perfect for sunbathing on a long cruise. A barefoot-friendly teak sole leads to the helm, which was built large enough to seat three people, allowing guests to feel the breeze and enjoy the 360-degree ocean views with the captain.
Gabriela is powered by twin MAN V8-900 CRM diesel engines, producing a combined 1,800 horsepower, which will push the vessel up to a max speed of 34 knots. The captain has access to the following amenities to help keep the vessel running safe and true while cruising at a comfortable speed of 30 knots:
- Furuno Chart plotter
- Garmin xsv gps
- 3 MAN displays for engines and yacht computer
- Raymarine ST60+ Tridata
- Furuno autopilot
- Riva wipers controller
- ZF stainless-steel throttle
- Side-Power bow thruster
- Sanshin EC HR-55 searchlight controller
- Racor alarms
- Trim tabs
- Lofrans windlass display
- Marine fire-suppression system controller
- Furuno VHF radio
Back down the steps from the flybridge and through a sliding glass door leads into the salon. The sliding glass door opens to the starboard side and a portside window folds upward to give Gabriela a Mediterranean Sea-style fully open salon. The interior has a tasteful combination of wood, beige leather with craftsman stitches, metallic brown paint, stainless-steel features and off-white leather headliners. Guests can be seated on an off-white leather sofa around a folding wooden table and entertained with a flat-screen TV or a Bose stereo system. Down one set of steps aft of the salon area is the galley, which is attached to the crew area to guarantee quality service to owners and guests. The galley has the following equipage to enhance the entertainment experience:
- Condaria independent a/c controller
- A lot of compartments for stowage
- SCM stainless-steel porthole with curtains
- 5 stainless-steel frame ceiling lights
- Miele dishwasher
- Bosch 4-burner electric stove
- Sink
- Isotherm fridge with separate freezer
- Dibbern porcelains and Riva glasses
- Riva dishware
Step outside to the aft deck to find a very stylish folding wooden table surrounded by fine Italian leather seating on a raised deck with teak sole. The aft deck on Gabriela has a hidden outside galley with a sink, Miele Ceran cooktop, built-in cooler and cover. BThe swim platform offers access to the transoms garage and a Williams jet tender, which can easily be launched for on-shore excursions.
Belowdecks, Gabriela has a layout that consists of a master stateroom with head, port stateroom, starboard stateroom, guest head and crew cabins, which is accessible from a second set of steps from the salon. The master stateroom has a mirror backrest berth, glass hatch with complete sliding blackout, bed lights, Condaria independent A/C comptroller, three large closets and one drawer, and a Sharp flat-screen TV. Port and starboard staterooms have mirror backrest twin berths, Condaria independent A/C controllers, bed lights, one closet and four drawers and four stainless-steel frame portholes with curtains.
