A fresh face in the flybridge line

The Diva joined Riva's flybridge family in 2023 as one of its newest models, a shade over twenty five metres and pitched as an accessible entry to the raised helm life. It sits below the larger Argo, Corsaro and Bellissima while carrying the same design language that runs to the flagship. The brief was to give a mid size hull the volume and the culture of a far larger yacht. On every deck the Diva delivers more than its length suggests.

Officina Italiana Design shaped the boat with the Ferretti Group engineering department and the strategic product committee led by Piero Ferrari. It debuted at the Cannes Yachting Festival and quickly became one of the most talked about boats of its size. The name fits a yacht built to be the star of any anchorage. For owners moving up from an open cruiser, it is a gentle and glamorous introduction to flybridge life.

A beach club that opens to the sea

The Diva's headline feature sits at the stern, where a beach club folds open with drop down side terraces that add around three metres of width. The space transforms into a broad platform over the water, ideal for swimming, sunbathing and gathering the whole party at sea level. It is a piece of theatre that owners will use every day at anchor. Few yachts of this size open so generously to the water.

Above, the flybridge offers more than forty square metres of usable space, an open air lounge with dining, a bar and sunpads under an optional hard top. Long hull windows and a clean modern profile mark the boat as part of the current fleet. A bow lounge adds another outdoor room forward. From stern to bow the Diva is arranged to be lived on in the open air.

Bright volume below decks

Below decks the Diva lays out cabins for a family or a group of friends, with a full beam owner's suite that makes the most of the yacht's width. Deep hull glazing pours light into the accommodation and keeps the spaces feeling larger than the tape reads. The main deck saloon is open and bright, arranged for easy living at every hour. The finish mixes contemporary materials with the warmth expected of the marque.

The layout puts the owners in a calm, private suite while guests are looked after in their own cabins. The galley and dining areas suit real cruising for a week or more. Storage is worked in with care for a boat meant to spend long spells aboard. Down below the Diva feels like a bigger yacht in every dimension that matters.

MAN power and easy cruising

The Diva is driven by twin MAN V12 engines of around 1,900 hp a side, giving relaxed and confident cruising for a flybridge of its size. It cruises near 26 knots and tops out around 29, ample pace for coastal life and island hopping. The hull carries its volume with the poise of a much larger yacht. It is tuned for comfort at sea over outright speed.

Naval architecture came from the Ferretti Group engineering department, bringing modern systems and a clean helm on the main deck and the flybridge alike. The raised bridge gives commanding views for the owner who likes to drive from up high. Range suits extended coastal cruising, the life the Diva was built for. It handles with the calm assurance owners want from a first flybridge.

Who it is for

The 82' Diva suits the owner stepping up to a flybridge for the first time, a buyer who wants the space and the raised helm life without moving to a thirty metre yacht. It rewards those who love the water, with a beach club that opens the stern to the sea for the whole party. Families cruising a summer coast will find it beautifully sized.

It is less suited to owners needing the volume of a larger flybridge or full crew's quarters for long ocean passages. For accessible, glamorous flybridge cruising it is one of the most inviting boats of its size. As the freshest face in the line it points the way the range is heading.

Who it is for: The owner stepping up to a flybridge for the first time who wants the space of a larger yacht, a raised helm and a beach club that opens to the sea.
