MRS. NICELY - RIVA YACHT FOR SALE

Launched in 2020, the 48-foot Riva Dolceriva is a luxury motor yacht that blends Italian artistry with state-of-the-art comfort, presenting a silhouette of sleek proportions and signature Riva detailing. Satin mahogany accents and mirror-polished stainless steel underscore its refined character, while the open express layout invites effortless indoor–outdoor living. Meticulously arranged interiors provide plush accommodations and a refined atmosphere, complemented by an advanced navigation and entertainment suite that elevates every moment at sea.

Performance matches the poise: twin Volvo D13-1000 diesels with approximately 175 hours deliver thrilling acceleration and confident cruising, aided by precise joystick docking for stress-free maneuvering. A Seakeeper NG6 stabilizer keeps the ride composed, the hydraulic bimini deploys at a touch for instant shade, and a generous hydraulic swim platform becomes a waterside terrace. Extended autonomy comes courtesy of an Idromar watermaker and a 13.5 kW Onan generator, ensuring quiet luxury wherever you roam. An ideal sport yacht and open express cruiser for dayboating or longer escapes, this elegant powerboat captures the essence of Riva performance and style. Seller will cover shipping to the East Coast, making ownership as seamless as the experience on board.

Engine room

An aluminum diamond-plate deck sets a purposeful footing, while carbon fiber air-intake vents feed the machinery bay under crisp LED lighting. Forward sit the fuel sight glass and valves for quick checks and shutoffs, with a Racor fuel filter serving each engine for clean delivery. A dedicated battery switch and a 110-volt outlet add everyday convenience, as does the Side-Power breaker protecting the bow thruster circuit. Efficient blowers keep air moving, a high water alarm stands vigilant, and the transducer is neatly installed for precise readings.

Mechanical equipment

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D13-1000 engines, port engine serial number 2013911458 and starboard engine serial number 2013911456, turning through ZF500-II V gearboxes with a 1.964:1 ratio (port gearbox serial number 20342196, starboard gearbox serial number 20344194). Electrical needs offshore are met by an Onan 13.5 generator, model 13.5MDKDN-8140A, serial number E190565840. Thrust to the sea is delivered by 5-bladed Veem propellers, with docking finesse aided by a Side-Power electric bow thruster. Ride comfort is elevated by a Seakeeper NG6 gyro stabilizer, while a 24-V DC bilge pump stands ready for dewatering and a 40.6-kg HFC227A cylinder provides fire suppression. Hot water is supplied by an electric heater, and anchoring is handled with authority by a Lofrans windlass.

Electrical

A 50-amp 220-volt shore power cord feeds the system, supported by six 12-volt AGM service batteries and four 12-volt AGM engine batteries. Charging is managed by a Mastervolt 24-volt 60-amp battery charger and a Mastervolt 12-volt charger dedicated to the generator, which also has its own 12-volt AGM battery. Distribution is cleanly organized across a 24-V DC electrical panel and a 120-V/240-V panel.

Galley

The galley is thoughtfully appointed with an Isotherm ice maker, a fridge, and a GE microwave, all framed by a large hull-side window with electronic blinds for instant ambiance. A deep sink and a two-burner cooktop make meal preparation effortless.

Head

Accessible from both the saloon and the bow stateroom, the head features a solid-surface countertop with a raised sink and a smooth single-lever faucet, plus smart storage throughout. Natural light flows through a porthole complemented by electric blinds, while a separate shower stall, a 110-volt GFI outlet, a mirrored forward bulkhead, and an electric toilet round out the space.

Bow stateroom

In the bow stateroom, leather wall coverings and lacquered overhead panels set a couture tone accented by reading lights and stereo speakers. Comfort is at your fingertips via the air-conditioning control panel, while two hanging lockers with mirrored doors provide generous wardrobe space and direct access to the head adds privacy. Hull-side windows, portholes, and electric blinds curate the light, and a raised berth with mattress and a drawer beneath promises restful nights, flanked by two reading lamps and a forward mirrored bulkhead. Overhead, a hatch with shade invites sea breezes or starlight.

Salon

Rich mahogany woodwork and leather-wrapped wall panels define the salon, where a Samsung TV pairs with a Fusion stereo and stereo speakers for immersive entertainment. Electric blinds and large hull-side windows with opening portholes modulate the view, while built-in lockers with china storage keep serviceware secure. A leather sofa with ottoman invites relaxation, climate is tuned from the air-conditioning control panel, and a 110-volt outlet adds convenience. A sliding door provides private passage to the bow stateroom.

Cockpit/decks

Outdoors, a hydraulic swim platform with cushions lowers you gently to the water, while two lockers for storage keep gear tidy. Detailing includes a mahogany lower rub rail, a stainless steel rub rail, and a carbon fiber grab rail, complemented by an Opacmare passerelle and a mahogany-planked bow. The tinted windshield with stainless steel frame crowns a foredeck appointed with stainless steel cleats and chocks, a capstan to port and starboard, and a custom horn with flagstaff. Mahogany handrails, dedicated bow fender storage, a stainless steel anchor with approximately 200 feet of chain rode, a freshwater spigot with hose, and a shore water connection underscore practical luxury. A handheld shower, anchor light, navigation light, teak decks, drink holders, stereo speakers, and storage under seating enhance every moment on deck, as do courtesy lights, a mahogany table on a stainless steel pedestal, and an automatic bimini top. A sliding hatch leads within, and amenities such as a Vitrifrigio refrigerator, a built-in locker with waste bin, a locker with recessed dual sink and cutting board, and underwater lights complete the experience.

Aft stateroom

In the aft stateroom, two single berths convert to a single with a filler for adaptable sleeping arrangements. A mirrored aft bulkhead amplifies space, with two reading lamps, a hull-side window, a porthole, and electric blinds shaping light and mood. Comfort and order are assured with an air-conditioning control panel, a hanging locker, and a mirrored door.
