The Riva 72 "Splendida" has style, flair and panache, all in the best tradition of Riva. It has new design features to make life on board even more comfortable and enjoyable, and it has new performance parameters to make cruising easier and more fun. Riva 72 "Splendida" is perfect for a luxury motor yacht charter in Costa Smeralda and Maddalena Archipelago or for a luxury motor yacht cruise in all the north Sardinia reaching the Corsica coast, exclusive Lavezzi and Cavallo island and mooring in the French Riviera. With the top open and running at her cruising speed of 32 knots, there was no disturbing wind, just a hint of breeze throughout the saloon. Even with the after door open, sound levels were low enough for easy conversation at the helm. The cabriolet part of the equation was working well, and I couldn't wait to try out the sport cruiser part. The forward part of the upper saloon is a delightful exercise is ergonomics. Facing the helm to port are two seats, one of which converts to a bolster. To starboard, a companion seat is fitted with a substantial grab rail and a well-placed foot brace. Also in the saloon area abaft the helm is a dinette for six to eight guests. Opposite it, to starboard, is a service and entertainment cabinet that houses a refrigerator, ice maker and television, as well as all the china and glassware. The cabinetry is elm, in a natural finish Riva calls "peach skin”. A more apt description could not be found, for it is satiny with just enough bite to render it virtually no slip to hands and accessories.

Layout and equipment in the galley are excellent. The stainless-steel refrigerator and freezer have substantial latches on the doors, and keepers are fitted to the shelves inside. The cook top is equipped with sea rails, something found too seldom on motor yachts. A VIP cabin is forward, with an island double berth on centreline. The guest head is larger than usual to allow space for a standard bidet. A hatch over the berth provides air and escape. The Riva 72 "Splendida" has two staterooms, with the master spanning the beam abaft the lower saloon. There are double hanging lockers, a settee to port and a vanity/desk to starboard. The adjacent day head is also accessible from the master for use as a "his” head when no day guests are aboard. The Riva Splendida 72 is the ideal solution for a luxury motor yacht cruise in some of the most beautiful destination of all the west med like Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) Maddalena Archipelago and all the North Sardinia, Lavezzi and Cavallo islands, Corsica, Monaco, Montecarlo, Nice and all the French Riviera, Portovenere, Portofino and all the enchanting Italian Riviera. But yacht chartering is not just a glamorous holiday option: it can also be the ideal business incentive, or the venue for corporate events. An onboard party for a special event or a trip with your clients as guests can be just what is needed to create the setting for a business meeting requiring total discretion or a memorable incentive for your executives. Team building and bonding exercises are ideal held aboard a luxury motor yacht like "Splendida".
