From the Yachting Archive: The Sweet Yacht: Riva Dolceriva
“Riva has had a long time to get it right. Founded over 177 years ago, and having collaborated with the same design team, Officina Italiana Design, for a quarter of a century, the Italian brand has winnowed down its vessels to the essence of elegance, style and performance. The 48-foot Dolceriva is the newest embodiment of that combination.
Riva says that this boat’s lines are meant to feel automotive—beefy and sleek—while the hullside windows coupled with an aggressively curved windshield keep the lines low profile for a sexy look at sea. The yacht’s exterior wood is high-gloss mahogany with 20 coats of varnish, punctuated by white maple seams. The result is a timeless look that cannot be confused with any other builder’s boats.” – Yachting, January 2020
Where is Epica located? The yacht is currently lying in Huntington, New York.
