Riva's latest creation, the 96-foot Argo Super Flybridge, is a testament to the brand's enduring legacy of Italian craftsmanship and innovation. This superyacht, unveiled at the La Spezia shipyard, showcases a meticulous blend of luxury, functionality, and cutting-edge design. The collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the Strategic Product Committee, and the Ferretti Group's engineering department has resulted in a vessel that not only maintains the iconic Riva silhouette but also introduces a host of enhancements.
One of the standout features is the aft and beach area redesign, which offers a deeper connection to the water and maximizes outdoor space. The swim platform, equipped with a lift mechanism, allows guests to access the sea with ease. The flybridge has also been reimagined, featuring a stylish bar and mahogany-topped tables, providing an ideal spot for socializing. The main deck accommodates a new day head, creating additional space for guest accommodations.
The lower deck, in its standard configuration, houses three guest cabins, including a full-beam VIP cabin that rivals a second owner's suite in size. The salon offers two configurations, one with a dining room and lounge, and the other with a full-beam main owner's suite, complete with glazed surfaces and polished wengé wood, oak, and steel accents. The yacht's interior design exudes sophistication and comfort.
Under the hood, the Riva 96' Argo Super is powered by a pair of MTU 12V M96X engines, delivering an impressive 2,000 hp. This powerplant ensures swift and efficient performance on the open waters. Additionally, the yacht is equipped with advanced stabilization systems, collision prevention technology, and maneuvering aids, ensuring a smooth and safe journey.
Stassi Anastassov, CEO of Ferretti Group, emphasizes the brand's commitment to innovation and timeless beauty, stating, 'History does not make a brand iconic. The courage to reinvent it, generation after generation, does.' The Riva 96' Argo Super embodies this spirit, pushing the boundaries of what a superyacht can be. With its sleek design, luxurious amenities, and advanced technology, this vessel is poised to become a symbol of Riva's enduring legacy in the world of yachting.
As the first Riva 96' Argo Super prepares for its official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, it invites enthusiasts and collectors alike to experience the pinnacle of Italian yachting excellence. The question remains: will Charles Leclerc, a known enthusiast of Riva superyachts, add this masterpiece to his collection?
