The largest Riva ever
The 70Metri is a landmark for the marque, the biggest yacht in its history and the new flagship of the Superyachts Division. At seventy metres it stands above the 54Metri as the second and largest model in the bespoke steel line, well beyond the composite flybridge flagship. It is offered as a project, a fully custom build shaped to a single owner's wishes. Riva has confirmed the yacht is in construction in Italy for delivery later this decade.
Officina Italiana Design draws the exterior, keeping the marque's low, elegant signature at a scale never attempted before. The Ferretti Group engineering department handles the naval architecture and the complex systems of a yacht of this size. It is built at the group's dedicated superyacht facility, where steel hulls of this scale take shape. For the owner who has climbed the whole range, the 70Metri is the natural destination.
A Riva silhouette at seventy metres
The challenge for the studio was to keep the Riva look on a yacht more than twice the length of the flagship flybridge. The 70Metri answers with clean lines, expansive glass and the low, taut stance that defines the marque, stretched across a full custom superyacht. Multiple decks give room for grand terraces, a beach club and open air lounges. From a distance it reads unmistakably as a Riva despite its scale.
The exterior is arranged for life in the open air, with generous deck space for dining, sunbathing and gathering by the water. Bespoke detailing lets each owner shape the look to taste. The proportions are handled so the yacht never looks heavy despite its volume. It is a design study in carrying an intimate marque's style into superyacht territory.

Fully bespoke interiors
Inside, the 70Metri is a blank canvas, with fully bespoke layouts and interiors created for each owner. It accommodates up to twelve guests across six staterooms in the general arrangement, with a full owner's deck a natural option at this size. The volumes allow grand saloons, private studies and spa and wellness spaces that smaller Rivas cannot offer. Every surface is shaped to a single owner's brief.
The finish draws on the marque's craft heritage, translated to the scale and formality of a large superyacht. Crew quarters and service areas are sized to run the yacht for long ocean cruising with a full complement aboard. Systems, tankage and stores suit genuine long range life away from any home port. Down below the 70Metri offers the freedom of a wholly custom home at sea.
Hybrid power and long range
The 70Metri moves away from the planing character of the production fleet towards a displacement superyacht built for range and efficiency. It carries a hybrid propulsion package with heat recovery technology and a power take off and take in system for quiet, efficient running. Around 1350 GT of steel and aluminium are moved with the composure of a true long range yacht. It is engineered for global cruising in comfort.
The hybrid system lets the yacht run silently at anchor and cruise efficiently on passage, reflecting where the marque intends to take its largest builds. The Ferretti Group engineering department has developed the platform for genuine ocean capability. Range and autonomy suit long voyages far from support. It is the most technically ambitious yacht the marque has ever undertaken.
Who it is for
The 70Metri suits the owner at the very top of the market who wants the largest Riva ever built, a fully custom steel superyacht shaped by the studio behind every model in the range. It rewards buyers who cruise the world with family, guests and full crew and who value hybrid efficiency and long range autonomy. This is a boat for the collector who has owned across the range and now wants its ultimate expression.
It is not a production purchase, and it is not quick to come by, since each hull is a bespoke build with a multi year timeline. For the owner willing to commit to a custom flagship it is the summit of the marque. As the largest Riva ever, it carries the name into wholly new waters.
