ith an overall length of 23.25 meters (73 ft 3 in) and a maximum beam of 5.75 meters (18 ft 10 in), Riva 76’ Perseo Super is the result of an aesthetic and technological development effort that achieves a perfect balance of past, present, and future, the product of collaboration between the Product Strategy Committee led by Mr. Piero Ferrari, designer Mauro Micheli, the founder of Officina Italiana Design with Sergio Beretta, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. Exterior styling featuring over 40 square meters of glazed surfaces on the hull and in the superstructure is enhanced by new stylistic features. In the streamlined profile, glossy black details intersect the ice white dominating the hull and main deck, in contrast, that accents both the sporty verve and classical elegance of this extraordinary sport fly. One of the stand-out functional design elements in the evolution of the 76’ Perseo is the roof with an opening forward section positioned over the lounge, with the dual function of illuminating the space below and allowing fresh air to enter. The authentic Riva tradition echoes throughout the yacht in the form of mahogany and polished stainless steel detailing, a technical and design feature that forms part of the Sarnico-based shipyard’s legacy. The entire stern area is designed to offer maximum

comfort for guests and be practical for the crew. Almost the entire swim platform can be lowered into the water, where it acts as an underwater surface to relax on and aid to leaving the water safely. Consistently with the excellent functionality and liveability that characterize the entire yacht, when the garage door is open and the swim platform lowered, launching and hauling up the Williams Turbojet 325 tender are quick and easy operations. For owners intent on having fun, an optional second water toy can be installed on the swim platform and two seabobs in the garage on either side of the tender. The cockpit offers an area for socializing, with a sofa in the aft section and a teak dining table seating eight featuring the Riva logo and a stainless steel base. On request, the entire area can be converted into a big sun pad with a mechanism that lowers the table so that it can be covered with cushions. The area is enhanced with

solutions that increase the level of comfort, like the option of a drawer refrigerator under the sofa or a pouf with a low table. A bar corner configuration with stools is available on request. In this layout, the mahogany and polished stainless steel detailing and the Corian countertop are emblematic of Riva’s style. Completing the set-up are a fridge, an icemaker, and a sink so that the owner can enjoy a drink in an intimate romantic setting. The spacious sun deck is integrated into the yacht’s aerodynamic lines, offering somewhere to relax in total privacy, plus a helm station to pilot the yacht from a privileged vantage point. A big central sun pad covering about 4 square meters, with a forward-facing sofa at its edge, reigns elegantly over this area. The second centrally positioned helm station is forward and surrounded on both port and starboard sides by other sofas. Here too, various solutions have been introduced to increase comfort, including an optional drawer refrigerator under the sofa next to the helm station. The dominant wood in the main lounge for the standard version is sand-colored oak, juxtaposed in classic Riva style against mirror surfaces or light and dark lacquer, with polished stainless steel detailing. On request, the owner can opt for rosewood as the featured wood, enhanced by color contrasts and fine finishes and details. The lounge is a large and inviting open space. Past the glass entry door, the living area on the starboard side is furnished with a sofa, an armchair and a pouf designed by Gentili&Mosconi, and a leathertopped coffee table. The Mariaflora cushions are a pleasing detail and enhance the seating by making it even more comfortable. The lower deck is characterized by the refined pairing of sand-colored oak and pale or dark lacquer interspersed with bold black leather detailing, including the possibility of opting for rosewood as an alternative featuring wood. In the standard layout, the yacht’s lower deck welcomes guests into a small lounge furnished with a large, light-colored, L-shaped sofa by Gentili&Mosconi and, on request, a pouf with a low table. Opposite the lounge, on the starboard side, is a galley separated by a door and fully appointed with appliances, a worktop, a hob, and a sink arranged along the hull side and in the aft area. The layout has three cabins for six guests, all with en-suite bathrooms, but the owner can also request a fourth cabin, configured as always to ensure optimum comfort and liveability. The master stateroom dominates the midship section of the yacht. Here the stand-out features for their refinement and minimalist design are the bed with leather headboard and sides, and the ergonomic and functional furnishings. The en-suite bathroom is behind a smoked glass mirror door. In the master stateroom, like the other cabins, the decor reprises not only the wood on the main deck but also the chiaroscuro contrasts and the precious materials.
