The Riva 58’ Capri marks the arrival of a new generation of Riva open yachts, expressing sportiness and timeless elegance in perfect balance. Conceived with two complementary personalities at its core, the Capri combines a sporty look and thrilling performance with an onboard lifestyle centered on comfort and relaxation.
An evolution of the highly acclaimed 56’ Rivale and inspired by the styling success of the 68’ Diable, the Riva 58’ Capri is designed for owners seeking the power and immediacy of a pure open yacht together with the livability usually associated with larger boats.
With an overall length of 17.27 meters, or 56 feet 8 inches, and a maximum beam of 4.74 meters, or 15 feet 7 inches, the yacht presents a naturally elegant silhouette defined by a distinctive fixed canopy. This architectural feature flows seamlessly into the sleek, sculpted hull lines, conveying a contemporary feel while adding a glamorous touch that enhances the yacht’s personality.
As with all Riva creations of the past thirty years, the Riva 58’ Capri is designed by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
The hull, finished in Shark Grey with Bright Black detailing, features a long strip of glazing that extends almost to the bow, concealing windows and portholes while reinforcing the yacht’s dynamic character and strong personality. The side air intakes, painted in the same color as the hull, further accentuate the elegance of the lines.
Aft, the garage accommodates a Williams 325 Turbo Jet tender. On either side of the carbon fiber transom door, three steps lead up to the cockpit. When the swim platform is lowered, additional partially submerged steps are revealed, providing easy access to the water and a smooth return on board.
The cockpit is the focal point of life on board, welcoming guests into a generous space protected by the canopy. A large central aft sun pad is integrated with a forward-facing seat, followed to port by an L shaped sofa with a convertible table and a raised L shaped daybed. To starboard, a bar unit equipped with sink, icemaker, and an optional refrigerator completes the area dedicated to socializing. Forward, the helm station is fitted with digital instrumentation and Simrad touchscreen displays, including a 12 inch monitor and an ultrawide 15 inch screen, with the option of a third 12 inch display to ensure full control of navigation and onboard systems.
The black canopy, featuring the now iconic counter curved glass windshield that characterizes the new generation of Riva windscreens, protects the entire main deck and incorporates an electrically operated soft top that allows the amount of light and shade to be adjusted. The cockpit is also equipped with an external air conditioning system, while a front air intake can be opened to provide natural ventilation when at anchor.
Forward, a large sun pad that can be shaded by a dedicated soft top precedes a walk on, anti-slip glass surface. This feature allows natural light to filter into the guest cabin below and also integrates a signal horn with a casing inspired by the legendary Rivas of the past.
The interiors reflect the same balanced approach found in the exterior design, introducing new materials and colors and offering the owner a choice between light matte or dark polished woods. On the first unit, the signature finish is high gloss Chocolate Wengè, alternating with mirrored surfaces and stainless-steel detailing that amplifies the perception of space and brightness.
The main interior setting is a refined lounge dinette with an L shaped sofa positioned along the starboard side, complemented by an L shaped pouf and a coffee table trimmed with ash colored leather detailing. Opposite, generous storage space with mirrored smoked glass surfaces houses the TV. Further forward, the galley features a Corian countertop, while a practical and discreet day head is located at the entrance to the space.
The sleeping area consists of three cabins that reprise the same dialogue between colors and materials. The aft master cabin offers an intimate and refined atmosphere, with every detail designed to make the most of the available space. The transverse bed is framed by two wardrobes, while the ensuite bathroom, featuring a white Corian basin, is visually lightened by a smoked glass sliding door. The spacious VIP cabin in the bow is filled with natural light and includes a private bathroom with shower. The third cabin, in the standard configuration, is intended for a single crew member and includes a private bathroom and direct access to the cockpit. On request, this space can be converted into a guest cabin with two bunk beds and direct access from the lower deck hallway.
In the standard configuration, the Riva 58’ Capri is powered by twin MAN V8 1000 engines producing 1,000 horsepower at 2,300 rpm. This setup delivers a top speed of 33 knots and a cruising speed of 27 knots. An optional upgrade to twin MAN V8 1200 engines, producing 1,200 horsepower at 2,300 rpm, increases performance to a top speed of 37 knots and a cruising speed of 31 knots, based on preliminary data.
To further enhance comfort both underway and at anchor, the yacht can be equipped with a Seakeeper NG6 gyroscopic stabilizer, which minimizes roll and significantly amplifies the pleasure of life at sea.
Certified CE Class A, the Riva 58’ Capri is designed for open sea cruising and engineered to ensure safety, efficiency, and confidence even in particularly challenging conditions. It is an open yacht that delivers exhilarating performance together with the unmistakable elegance and glamour that define the Riva name.
