More than just luxurious day-yachts, Italy's Riva ship works also has a few offerings for the super-yacht sector. The first photos from the recently launched Riva 92 Duchessa have arrived!


 

With the introduction of the 28-meter Riva 92 Duchessa, there's now a worthy successor to the hugely commercially successful 115 Athen, the previous flagship of the Riva fleet.

 

Design works

 

Together with Officina Italiana Design and top designer Mauro Micheli, Riva engineers have created another model that flawlessly embodies the unmistakable Riva style. A racy profile and striking black-white-black color scheme give the Duchessa a flattering mix of sporty lines and classic elegance.

 

Power plant and price point

 

This 80-ton ship is powered by twin MTU Motors that enable a top speed of up to 28 knots - enough for a fresh breeze in your hair aboard the flying bridge. As with other Riva yachts, customers can personalize nearly every imaginable detail of their purchase and request additional features as they like. The 92 Duchessa starts at 1.48 million euros for the base model.
