Waterfront: Riva Introduces Duchessa
New 92-footer to debut in the fall.

Italy’s Riva, part of the Ferretti Group, announced it will introduce a new model at the Cannes boat show in September. Dubbed the Duchessa, the new 92-footer will fill a gap between the company’s 85-foot Opera Super and its 115-foot Athena.

Drawn by Mauro Micheli and his team at Officina Italiana Design with engineering by Riva, the new yacht will feature curved, racy lines and high-octane performance. Her twin 2,211-hp MTU diesels will propel her to a top speed of 29 knots. The Duchessa will have a cruising range of 360 nautical miles at 26 knots. She will be equipped with ARG 4000 stabilizers that will keep her steady under way and at anchor.

Accommodations on board include four large cabins amidships and a master suite astern. The Duchessa’s windowed interior is rich in natural light and is designed for maximum comfort. She has room for five crew, who can operate with private access separate from guests.
