An exceptional opportunity to acquire a Riva Rivale 56 Hard Top in excellent condition, featuring a particularly elegant specification, an extensive list of optional equipment and a history of exclusively private use.
“MAEHLE” stands out for her striking metallic Shark Grey hull, beautifully complemented by a black hard top, natural teak decking with contrasting grey caulking, and sophisticated high-gloss mahogany interiors. This carefully selected combination of colours and materials further enhances the sporty, timeless lines of this iconic Riva model.
Built in 2022, “MAEHLE” has been used exclusively for private cruising and meticulously cared for by a dedicated crew throughout the year. During the winter months, she has consistently been stored indoors at a shipyard, ensuring a high standard of preservation and maintenance. Her desirable three-cabin layout, including a full-beam master suite, offers an excellent balance of comfort, practicality and performance. Powered by twin MAN V8 engines delivering 1,200 HP each, and equipped with a Seakeeper NG6 gyroscopic stabilizer, “MAEHLE” benefits from a comprehensive specification that makes her a particularly attractive proposition.
Offered exclusively for sale, with VAT paid and privately owned by an EU seller, “MAEHLE” represents an outstanding alternative to purchasing a new yacht, offering a significant financial advantage over an equivalently specified new unit.
