SPECTRE is a Riva Rivale 56', a motor yacht of 17.16 metres launched in 2017 from one of the oldest and most storied Italian shipyards. Twin MAN V8 engines producing 1,200 hp each give her a top speed of 35 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 28 knots, placing the entire French Riviera coastline — Monaco, Antibes, Saint-Tropez, the Esterel — within easy reach of a single day at sea. Her design carries the visual language that has made Riva the most recognisable name in Italian luxury yachting for over a century: mahogany tones, impossibly clean lines, the kind of silhouette that stops people at the dock.
The outdoor layout is organised entirely around how guests actually live at sea. Generous sunpads fore and aft, teak decks throughout, and open-air lounge seating make long mornings at anchor and fast afternoon runs along the coast equally comfortable. Up to ten guests cruise together during the day, with the open arrangement ensuring that larger groups can spread naturally between the bow, the cockpit and the stern without crowding. Dropping anchor off a beach club, arriving at a port, or simply running the coast — SPECTRE handles each with the same ease.
For overnight stays, SPECTRE accommodates four guests across two double cabins, both finished with the warm wood tones and contemporary detailing characteristic of the Riva interior aesthetic. A fully equipped galley, air conditioning throughout and comfortable lounge spaces ensure that time below decks — particularly during the midday heat or on a cooler evening — feels as considered as everything on the open deck. Two professional crew members are on board throughout, allowing guests to concentrate entirely on the sea.
SPECTRE operates in the French Riviera, where a Riva is not simply a charter yacht but a statement about how a day on the water should look and feel. Whether the itinerary calls for a morning at anchor in a secluded bay, a progressive day between three or four different stops along the coast, or a longer cruise with overnights, the yacht adapts without effort.
