Riva ’s new fleet member proves that big and beautiful are not mutually exclusive.

The elegant superyacht, which left the Italian builder’s La Spezia yard on Thursday, spans an imposing 130 feet and is the largest model in Riva’s flybridge range. Fittingly, it’s also the new flagship of the series.

Named after the Italian word for “very beautiful,” the Bellissima is a looker, too, showcasing expert craftsmanship, the latest technology and high design. The model was penned by Mauro Micheli of Officina Italiana Design. The Italian firm, which Micheli founded with Sergio Beratta in the late ‘90s, has designed all of Riva’s yachts for the past 27 years. The Ferretti Group (Riva’s parent company) also had a hand in the design, of course.

The Bellissima is characterized by a sleek planing hull and three simple lines that run from tip to tail. Similar to a sports car, the yacht features air intake grills, carbon fiber detailing and a dynamic hard top. It also sports extensive glazed surfaces that ensure the interiors get plenty of natural light.

With a wide body and a beam of roughly 26 feet, the Bellissima affords a generous amount of space onboard. In fact, Riva says it’s the first yacht in the range to have three “real decks” while also remaining under 300 GT. At the heart of the vessel, the main saloon offers sweeping 270-degree views, ceilings of over six feet and handsome rosewood accents. The lavish owner’s suite is located on the main deck, while four guest cabins with en suites sit on the lower deck.

Outside, the flagship’s redesigned stern area is lower and closer to the water. Spanning 645 square feet, it houses a large beach club and a cockpit. On the upper deck, meanwhile, there’s a dining area for 10 and two private balconies. Above this, the sundeck is the perfect place for cocktails. Elsewhere, there is a lounge and sun pad in the bow, along with a garage in the port-side hull for a Jet Ski, tender and seabob.

At 130 feet, Bellissima is the largest model in Riva’s flybridge range.  Riva

As for grunt, the Bellissima is powered by twin MTU engines that give her an estimated top speed of 22.5 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots.

“When you see a Riva cruising on the water, a Riva Bellissima, everything stops and you can pause the world to enjoy a tailor-made miracle, an aesthetic experience that words can’t describe,” Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi said in a statement .

Following sea trials, the Italian beauty will be delivered to her American owner.

Riva 130’ Bellissima: Bold & Beautiful

• November 16, 2023

Riva’s Flybridge range has soared to new heights with the 130’ Bellissima, an elegant 40m, 300GT tri-deck that offers expansive rosewood interiors but is just as notable for its appealing array of outdoor social areas. Words: Olivia Michel; Photos: Ferretti Group

The 130’ Bellissima was designed by Officina Italian Design

Riva’s 130’ Bellissima is best described as a modern superyacht with a classic soul. When hull one launched from the Ferretti Group’s La Spezia shipyard last year, the 40m superyacht became the new flagship of the Italian builder’s Flybridge series, which also includes the 82’ Diva, 90’ Argo, 102’ Corsaro Super and 110’ Dolcevita.

A star at the last two editions of the Monaco Yacht Show, Bellissima is Riva’s first planing Flybridge model to feature a tri-deck design, with Ferretti Group working closely with Officina Italiana Design – which has designed for Riva for almost three decades – to keep the model’s interior volume below 300GT.

The 130’ Bellissima is the largest model built at Riva’s La Spezia shipyard

The closest word the designers and shipyard found to fully define the newest Riva was ultimately bellissima , Italian for ‘very beautiful’. Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group’s CEO, uses romantic language to talk about the boatbuilder’s new pride and joy. “When you see this yacht cruising on the water, everything stops. It’s an aesthetic experience that words can’t describe,” he philosophises.

When Yacht Style stepped aboard, the 130’ Bellissima was docked in Port Hercules next to the 110’ Dolcevita, formerly the largest yacht in the Flybridge series. The side-by-side comparison accentuated the uniqueness of the 300GT Bellissima, which is 6m longer than the 219GT Dolcevita and has an extra deck.

The optional jacuzzi offers a secluded area to relax

Sergio Beretta, co-founder and CEO of Officina Italiana Design, said: “In practice, Bellissima is like an older sister to Dolcevita, but with a style all of her own that makes her different from any other big yacht of the Riva family.”

Mauro Micheli, co-founder and Chief Designer of the studio, has used the epithets of “sporty”, “sleek” and “slender” to describe the overall look of the yacht’s profile. The exterior is contemporary, fashioned from a symphony of glass, steel and carbon-fibre, and featuring a counter-curvature windshield that sets her silhouette apart from the rest of the fleet.

Bird’s eye view of the aft end of the sun, upper, main and lower decks

Micheli has penned every Riva launched since 1994 and a hint of this long-standing collaboration is seen in the two simple lines running along the Bellissima profile. Micheli notes that this is a classic feature seen on all Riva models and “very much reflects Officina Italiana Design’s clean, rigorous styling philosophy”.

By combining the sloping windshield with vast glazed surfaces and a severely raked bow, the boat has an almost arrowhead-shaped outline. The design is not only eye-catching but enhances aerodynamics, allowing a top speed of 22.5 knots with twin 2,638mhp MTU engines, as well as a range of 360nm at 20 knots or 1,000nm at 11 knots.

Aft view of the stunning sun deck

A 20sqm garage – with room for a tender, jet-ski and Seabobs – is located on the port side of the vessel to make way for a new open-air beach club at the stern. Lower and closer to the water than on any previous Riva superyacht, the beach club includes a swim platform and room for an alfresco lounge to dry off after a dip in the sea.

An outdoor jacuzzi, meanwhile, is located at the bow of the upper deck to fully optimise onboard space and enhance privacy for guests enjoying a soak in the sun.

UP AND DOWN

Inside the Bellissima, however, is where the historic Riva heritage is most clearly realised in direct contrast with the futuristic exterior.

Glossy rosewood has been used throughout the interiors – even in the galley – to complete the classic style for which Riva has become known. Yet the darker, more masculine shades of the panelling and leather chosen to adorn her stop Bellissima from looking “old fashioned” and bring her up-to-date and in line with interior trends.

Aft view of the main-deck saloon, which includes a formal dining area forward

The main deck starts aft with a generous cockpit that leads into a saloon with symmetrical L-shaped sofas on both sides and a forward dining area. Indoor spaces are generous, with ceilings as high as 2.05m, but Officina Italiana Design has combined Bellissima’s old-school rosewood finish with glass and mirror elements to make the interiors feel even more open and roomy.

The starboard hallway leads to the lower-deck staircase and day head, then onto the full-beam master suite, which benefits from the widebody design on the forward portion of the main deck. The owner’s area starts with an office that leads into the bedroom, which has a walk-in wardrobe aft on the port side, while forward are separate his-and-hers bathrooms either side of a central shower.

Starboard view of the master suite, with the bed arranged facing aft

The lower deck includes four 15sqm VIP en-suite cabins, two forward of the hallway and two aft, all with inward-facing beds and all accessed by a stunning staircase. Micheli notes that the “beautiful effect” of the staircase is meant to attract attention, “ennobling its function as a link between the decks” and reflecting the “maniacal attention to any detail” typical of Riva projects.

The upper deck has a skylounge with facing L-shaped sofas, although the area can be used or converted into a cinema, workout space or even a study. The room leads aft to a huge, covered deck that offers alfresco dining, while the uncovered end can be dressed with sun loungers or other loose furniture.

Forward view of the upper-deck skylounge or saloon

Forward on the upper deck is the bow lounge, which has two symmetrical L-shaped sofas facing a large quadruple sun pad, while forward is the jacuzzi. As it that wasn’t enough, the stunning sky deck has an open aft end suitable for sun beds, while the covered area can fit four sides of sofas and chairs for a gorgeous, protected hangout with stunning views.

RIVA STYLE LIVES ON

Even with 10 guests and seven crew on board, the design choices that created the Bellissima have ensured that this 40m superyacht will never feel crowded. This is in part due to the intelligent layout of the vessel and in part to the flexibility of spaces.

Stairs from the main deck to the lower-deck guest cabins

And ultimately, the Gemini nature of a modern profile paired with Riva’s trademark traditional wood features gives owners a sense of owning two types of yacht in one. As Beretta explains: “Bellissima has sporty lines but at the same time is elegant, perfect for any market including Asia. This is the result of the perfect balance we always strive for.”

At least five units of the Bellissima had been sold within a year of the model’s world premiere. “So far, the boat is particularly popular in the North American market, while in Asia we have several open negotiations,” Galassi notes. “The expected waiting time is about two years, which is due to the great sales success of this model.”

The elegant helm station

With many shipyards still struggling to offer new build slots, this is still a decent turnaround time for new owners keen to hit the water in grand style.

Beretta does note, however, that delivery time is dependent on the level of personalisation owners may want to implement. Having the option to infuse customisations into a serial model is key to ensuring the Bellissima is not just a luxury asset but also an expression of an owner’s personality.

“If owners choose a Riva, they don’t only select a boat,” he says. “They select a particular lifestyle, for true connoisseurs.”

The Riva 130 Bellissima is a magnificent expression of superyacht luxury. Sublimely styled, with raked glass panels, cutaway bulwarks and faceted hull contours, its four-deck layout and bespoke Italian décor can be extensively customised to your personal requirements, supported by invaluable input from Riva’s celebrated stylists and designers.

The glorious main saloon of the 130 Bellissima is a supremely relaxing and satisfying space to enjoy. Further forward is a substantial full-beam owner’s suite, with his'n'hers bathrooms, a private lounge and a study area. Above the saloon is a sky lounge with stunning views, while four very spacious guest suites occupy the lower deck. Well separated from the guest areas are the captain’s quarters and a set of crew cabins discreetly arranged in the forward part of the lower deck.

With four sublime decks, the variety of outside spaces is astonishing. Both the upper and sun decks provide 10-person dining areas, as well as open-plan aft spaces with freestanding lounge furniture and spectacular views. The sun deck hardtop enables you to manage the shade as you wish. On the main deck, in addition to the delightful stern beach club area and versatile aft cockpit, the elevated bow provides a convivial wraparound breakfast or lunch venue, a vast sunpad and an indulgent hot tub.

Performance

The Riva 130 is powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L diesel engines with traditional shaft drives, for a superbly refined cruising experience. You can expect a range of 360nm at 20 knots, increasing to 1,000nm at 11 knots. But even at the top end of 22.5 knots, thanks to her incomparable Riva pedigree this is one of the smoothest, quietest and most comfortable boats in the world.

Description

LADY FIRST Riva 130’ Bellissima is a magnificent fusion of fine design, naval engineering, expert craftsmanship and high technology. With an overall length of over 40 meters and a beam of 8 meters, Riva 130’ Bellissima is the first planing flybridge in the range to extend across three real decks, with a full-wide-body design and generous volumes in every setting, while remaining under 300 GT and maintaining sleek, elegant lines. Carbon fiber, steel and glass are the distinctive elements of the hull design, which features three simple lines running along the silhouette: two black strokes along the yacht’s silvery side define the hull windows, while the windshield, made with spherical crystals, has the characteristic slight forward rake already used on the Riva 48’ Dolceriva. Aft, the all-glass fashion plates enhance the aerodynamics and elegance of the yacht, while the carbon fiber detailing and the hardtop with its quintessentially sporty style add dynamism and personality. The outdoor areas are optimized to fully experience close contact with the water: the stern area, set low and open to the water, is divided into a large beach club and a cockpit of over 60 square metres. Forward, guests can choose between a lounge, a large sun pad and other intimate and inviting spaces. The exterior spaces are rounded out by an alfresco dining area, accommodating up to ten people on the upper deck, and a relaxation area on the sundeck. This magnificent RIVA 130 Bellissima is the only model available on charter, exclusive to ABYS Yachting. Discover the treasures of the Mediterranean sea aboard this luxurious super yacht for your next holiday!

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
