For decades, Riva has been all about style. The 100 Corsaro continues that tradition up into megayacht territory. She remains true to the sporty looks and performance of her long line of predecessors. Simultaneously, she brings a new level of luxury, and of course space, to the brand’s loyal customers.

Those customers are indeed loyal. The very reason that Riva decided to build bigger is because the owners keep asking. Interestingly, Riva is the sister brand of CRN, which is fully focused on megayachts. The management team of Riva therefore could have introduced customers to the CRN team. But, they—and CRN—realize the owners don’t want a CRN. To be clear, the buyers have no issues with CRN. They simply want what they want—and what they want is a Riva, through and through.

Something every Riva emphasizes, from the smallest to the largest, is alfresco enjoyment at speed. The 100 Corsaro situates a sunpad and good-size settee on the foredeck. The entire party of 10 guests can spend time here together, without getting in the crew’s way in handling deck gear. If you wish, you can have a bimini shade the relaxation zone. It’s supported by carbon fiber posts.

The same flexible shade situation is on the 100 Corsaro’s flying bridge, too. Mix and match your options thanks to the hardtop covering the dining area and bar. This deck definitely caters to those of you who want to spend the majority of your time outside, simply lounging and enjoying good company. Note, too, that the second helm station sits forward to starboard. In customary fashion, an observation settee is opposite it. (An observation settee sits in the raised pilothouse as well.)

If it’s luxury you want, you have multiple options for the interior. Every Riva is available for tailoring in terms of woods, stones, and other materials. The owner of hull number one in the 100 Corsaro series selected Calacatta marble flooring in the dining area. Though you can’t see it, he also requested walnut wood cabinetry inset into a leather wall forward in the dining area. In addition, the saloon shows off walnut wood, polished stainless steel, and abundant leather. The leather stretches overhead and on custom-made furniture.

What would a megayacht be without a beamy master suite? Aboard the 100 Corsaro, it spans the 22-foot (6.7-meter) width on the main deck. The same wood, metal, and leather treatments found in the saloon continue here. What’s different about the suite, though, is its two-level arrangement. The master head is down two steps forward. Furthermore, it’s also full beam. For an indulgent feel, the marble underfoot also lines the sinks and shower.

Never one to forget that guests like the royal treatment, too, Riva and the interior-design team at Officina Italiana Design equips the 100 Corsaro with four guest staterooms. In addition, it provides them with good-size ports to bring in natural light. In a move to preserve aesthetics, Riva additionally conceals electrical outlets inside the nightstands.

When nighttime turns into day and it’s time to hit the next port, the Riva 100 Corsaro should deliver. The shipyard says the standard MTU engines permit a 26-knot top speed. Optional MTUs give you two extra knots. Cruise speeds are 23 and 24 knots, respectively. At the slightly lower cruise speed, expect a range of 250 nautical miles. It should be 300 nautical miles with the optional engines.

With hull number one cruising Asian waters, Riva is finishing subsequent deliveries for global customers. It’s also working on even larger megayachts, of 164 feet (50 meters). Those customers just keep asking, so it just keeps building.
