Two hundred and fifty tonnes, and she still holds twenty two knots.
Twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines drive the 130 Bellissima to a cruising speed of 20 knots and a top end of 22, figures that read modestly against smaller flybridge yachts until you weigh them against her 250 tonne displacement. A fuel capacity of 9,500 litres supports a real world range of 350 nautical miles, enough for the crossing between the Balearics and the Ligurian coast without a refuelling stop. Her GRP hull and superstructure keep weight in check relative to her length, and a draught of 2.4 metres, shallow for a yacht this size, opens harbours that steel built superyachts of comparable tonnage cannot reach. This is not a yacht built to chase speed records. She is built to carry serious weight at a steady, dependable pace.
The profile is unmistakably Riva, stretched to a scale the brand had never attempted.
Officina Italiana Design, the studio behind the exterior and the interior alike, has carried Riva’s low, sporting silhouette onto a hull more than double the length of the yard’s familiar open cruisers. A sharply raked bow, a continuous sheer line and a flybridge kept low in profile stop her reading as a boxy superyacht despite the numbers involved. Teak decking runs the full length of the walkways, a detail more associated with Riva’s smaller yachts than with vessels in the forty metre bracket, and it signals where her real identity sits. Five staterooms and a crew of seven are proof this is a serious cruising yacht, yet every visible surface, from the toe rail to the flybridge coaming, is drawn with the same care Riva applies to a six metre tender.
Five cabins, seven crew, and a beam wide enough to make both disappear into the plan.
An eight metre beam gives the 130 Bellissima room to separate her five guest cabins properly rather than stacking them along a single corridor, while her crew of seven works from quarters kept apart from the owner’s areas entirely. Day capacity reaches twenty guests, a figure that points to a yacht built as much for entertaining at anchor as for cruising with a full complement aboard. The flybridge, extended by her generous beam, becomes a genuine second living deck rather than an afterthought bolted above the wheelhouse. Lower deck cabins receive natural light through hull windows, and internal stairways are positioned to keep crew movement and guest circulation from crossing paths, a detail that matters more as a yacht’s headcount grows toward seventeen.
The saloon is where the Bellissima stops feeling like a flybridge yacht and starts feeling like a private house.
Officina Italiana Design’s interior favours open sightlines over enclosed rooms, with the main saloon running uninterrupted from the aft doors to the forward dining area. Materials shift between warm timber joinery and pale upholstery, a palette chosen to keep a five cabin yacht feeling airy rather than heavy. The flybridge doubles the social space available at anchor, with room for dining, lounging and a separate helm station that keeps the crew’s working area distinct from the guest deck above. Fold away glazing along the main deck lets the saloon and the aft cockpit merge into a single space when the weather allows, a configuration that suits both a quiet family cruise and a larger gathering of twenty for lunch.
At just under forty metres, she is the largest Riva ever built.
Built in Italy and delivered from 2025, the 130 Bellissima carries a new price from 22.5 million euro, positioning her among Riva’s most significant undertakings to date. Naval architecture and engineering fall to the Ferretti Group’s own department, the same team responsible for the wider group’s superyacht range, giving the Bellissima access to engineering resources well beyond what a boutique yard of Riva’s traditional size could muster alone. Five cabins, ten sleeping guests, a crew of seven and a day capacity of twenty make her a yacht built for sustained ownership rather than the odd charter week. For a buyer drawn to Riva’s name but frustrated by the size ceiling of the yard’s smaller flybridge models, she removes that ceiling entirely.
