The Dolceriva with Hard Top, introduced by Riva in 2022, offers a luxurious, high-performance yacht experience. At 48 feet long, this open motor yacht is designed to combine sleek, modern styling with excellent boating technology.
Compared to the Dolceriva before it, the hard top adds comfort and versatility, providing protection from the elements while preserving the yacht's beautiful lines. This innovation allows passengers to enjoy their time on the water, regardless of the weather.
Built with lightweight carbon-vinyl ester composite materials, the hard top is strong yet doesn't compromise the yacht's speed and agility. The yacht is visually stunning and offers advanced features that make it a standout in its class. With its clean lines and bold design, this yacht is meant for people who appreciate form and function.

Designed in collaboration with Officina Italiana Design and the Ferretti Group, the Dolceriva Hard Top reflects the classic elegance Riva is known for while incorporating contemporary touches. The exterior is striking, with a sleek hull and a black accent line along the side. Measuring 14.92 meters (48 feet) in length and 4.26 meters (14 feet) in width, it offers plenty of space for relaxation and entertainment for its class.
One of the most unique design features is the spherical crystals windshield, which gives the boat a futuristic look and improves visibility for the captain. The mahogany wood deck has a glossy finish that pays tribute to Riva's rich heritage. The high-gloss varnish adds a luxurious feel, while the curved, flowing lines of the yacht give it a dynamic, sporty appearance.

Inside, the Dolceriva hard Top is designed for ultimate comfort. The hard top enhances the onboard living space by creating a shaded area over the cockpit and helm. This makes it ideal for hot summer days when passengers want to stay cool.
Below deck, the Dolceriva offers a well-thought-out living space. The interior includes a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with a separate shower. The owner's cabin, located at the front of the yacht, features a central bed and spacious closets, providing ample storage for personal items. Also present is a double cabin with two beds.

The yacht is powered by twin Volvo Penta D13 engines, each rated 1,000 mhp. These allow a top speed of 40 knots and a cruising speed of 35 knots. For added stability when at anchor, the optional Seakeeper NG6 stabilizer helps reduce roll, making for a more comfortable experience on board.
The yacht's helm station is equipped with the latest technology, including a 12-inch touchscreen with an optional upgrade to a 16-inch display for enhanced navigation. The Empirbus Garmin system allows full control of all onboard systems, from stabilizers to generators, ensuring the captain has everything at their fingertips.
