Owner Experience Review
Owners and captains drawn to the 88 FolgorefromRIVA YACHTconsistently cite its performance profile: a planing deep‑V that feels responsive and composed, with a comfortable 32–33‑knot cruise and top speeds around 38–39 knots. Joystick control, dynamic positioning, and advanced helm electronics—when specified—make close‑quarters work straightforward, and the boat maintains confident handling and seakeeping for its class. The 300–340‑nautical‑mile cruise range supports weekend escapes and multi‑day coastal hops without fuss.
The onboard experience leans into modern Italian light and space: a bright salon beneath a glass hardtop/tilting roof and well‑resolved entertaining zones on the flybridge and in the cockpit. Below, the standard four‑cabin arrangement sleeps eight, anchored by a full‑beam amidships owner’s suite, with a circulation plan that keeps galley/crew service discreet. A flexible beach‑club transom that can open parallel to the water to create roughly 6 m² of waterside terrace adds everyday utility for swimming, tender ops, and charters.
In practice, the 88 Folgoreserves both owner‑operators and captain‑run programs, and examples appear regularly on Mediterranean weekly charters. Ownership should budget for the duties that come with twin MTU 16V2000 M96L power and multiple electro‑hydraulic systems: routine MTU service intervals, occasional major‑work expense, and attention to items such as the tilting roof, transom/garage mechanisms, thrusters, and joystick.RIVA YACHTbenefits from a global Ferretti‑group service network, including a U.S. parts hub, yet some bespoke Italian components may carry lead times; engine‑room access from both the lower deck and a cockpit hatch helps day‑to‑day servicing.
Pros and Cons
- Confident deep‑V performance with a 32–33‑knot cruise and 38–39‑knot top speed.
