BEL SOGNO - RIVA YACHT FOR SALE

“Bel Sogno” stands out as the most attractively priced Riva 68 Diable on the market in North America—US Duty Paid—delivering rare value in a pedigree Italian luxury motor yacht.

Designed for sophisticated entertaining, this open sport cruiser offers expansive exterior lounging and an air‑conditioned cockpit appointed with a grill, ice maker, refrigerator, and a 49" TV, complemented by generous sunshades for effortless dayboat living. Below, the express yacht layout comfortably accommodates six in a refined 3/3 configuration plus crew quarters, while a transom tender garage provides discreet onboard storage.

Performance is thrilling yet composed, with twin MAN 1650s pushing to 38 knots, and precise low‑speed control courtesy of bow and stern thrusters, a joystick, and a Yacht Controller for intuitive maneuvering in tight slips.
