Luxury motor yacht KAR spans 26.92m (88’ 4”) and is offered for sale, expertly built by Riva and delivered in 2021. This performance superyacht accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 staterooms, with quarters for 4 crew in 2 cabins.

Overview

KAR is a 2021 Riva 88 Folgore that fuses striking Italian design, formidable performance and effortless luxury. Zero-speed stabilizers keep her level at anchor, a sunlit salon offers dining for ten, and four ensuite staterooms include a full-beam owner’s suite with a king bed and walk-in wardrobe.

Elegant, powerful and meticulously crafted, KAR is commercially compliant with a strong track record, has been perfectly maintained with a full paint in 2024, and delivers versatile performance—equally at home sprinting at high speed or cruising slowly with notable fuel efficiency. A thoughtfully modified garage accommodates a full-size jetski alongside the tender, completing an exceptional yachting experience.
