The “Black Pearl” is a collaboration with Oceanco. The bow shape combines the longest possible waterline with a flared bow.  The lines on the ship are superb style wise, and functionally offer protection from side winds.  The interior celebrates the French style of Louis XVI. Much historical research was done to create authentic and  accurate interiors.

Riva’s 110 Dolcevita is a new fiberglass flagship that will surpass the style, design, and performance levels of this already remarkable super yacht design brand. Riva worked with Officina Italiana Design, the studio founded by Mauro Micheli together with Sergio Beretta, the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee, and the Engineering Department, to create this superior vessel.  The exterior design has flowing lines and a super sporty profile.  The large window in the hull with the integrated porthole, as well as the long glass ceiling that stretches over the entire living room, enhances the experience at sea.
