Additional information

A limited edition born from legend, the Riva Cento was conceived to celebrate the production of the hundredth unit of the Rivamare, whose timeless design it refines and amplifies. With production limited to just twelve units worldwide, the Cento is destined to be a true collector’s dream, an heirloom of rarity and allure.

Throughout the yacht, exquisite design cues honor Riva’s most iconic heritage models. The signature searchlight inherited from the Aquarama and Aquariva graces the port side of the windscreen, a direct salute to the legendary wooden runabout that defined an era and earned the title of the most beautiful boat ever built. Along the hull, the decorative grille is reimagined with a new steel profile framing a polished mahogany insert, embellished with the “Riva” name and a constellation of small stars, a lyrical tribute to vintage masterpieces and a celebration of continuity between the shipyard’s storied past and vibrant future.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-400 engines and presented in the dramatic Metallic Black Fireworks hull with a glossy mahogany interior and maple-seamed cockpit decking, this yacht carries one hundred eighty years of Riva history in every detail, crafted at the spiritual home of the brand in Sarnico, Italy.

Below deck, a beautifully appointed cabin finished in glossy mahogany sets the tone for refined retreat. Comfort is assured with lower deck air conditioning, while the dinette benefits from electric Venetian blinds that include side blinds and a rooflight blind for tailored ambience. Entertaining is effortless thanks to a bottle rack and refrigerator in the lower deck dinette, complemented by a thirty-two-inch TV with terrestrial aerial, a DVD/Blu-ray player, and Apple TV. An ice maker on the lower deck and a dimmer for interior lighting further elevate the onboard experience.

The Cento’s technical highlights underscore its poise and performance. A Seakeeper gyro stabilizer delivers exceptional comfort at anchor and underway. The autopilot is enhanced with a driving mode joystick upgrade from the standard docking mode, while the Automatic Trim System ensures optimized running at all times. Maneuvering is aided by a 4 HP bow thruster, and onboard power is secured by an Onan 6 kW generator, upgraded from the standard 4 kW. Practical luxury continues with a fibreglass Seabob/storage compartment to starboard, a telescopic stern gangway, and a custom swimming ladder with an additional step and handrails. The cockpit features an up-down table for flexible social settings, and both a transport hood and a Goodwool cover are included. A camera in the engine room adds peace of mind and ease of monitoring.

Navigation and electronics are equally sophisticated, centered on two Boning displays—sixteen-inch and twenty-four-inch—supported by 5G connection for fast, seamless communications. Nighttime elegance and visibility are enhanced by side underwater lights, two per side in white, and a pair of white underwater lights on the transom, while a subwoofer in the cockpit enriches the soundscape of every voyage.

Exterior comforts include protective covers for the dashboard, copilot seat, pilot seat furniture, and table, preserving the yacht’s pristine finishes. Maple-seamed mahogany cockpit decking with antislip/gloss varnish completes the ensemble with the unmistakable warmth and sheen of artisanal craftsmanship.

One of only twelve ever built, this Riva Cento is far more than a yacht—it is a collector’s piece, a chapter of maritime history, and a statement of taste that cannot be replicated. Whether gliding through the Bosphorus or lying at anchor in a favorite Aegean bay, she will command attention wherever she goes.
