Riva 63’ Virtus
Riva gives a new meaning to the ‘open’ concept, with a typically Mediterranean style craft, maintaining the unique elegance of all its models: class, flair and clean shapes. It has been designed following the lines of the Vertigo, a successful and classic model by Riva.
63’ Virtus shares the strong attitude of the Rivale, another open model which has made the history of the shipyard, but it features wider spaces, with a higher liveableness and the utmost comfort on board.
It is the result of the collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the team which is in charge of the design of all the models of the Riva range, AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group’s research and naval design centre, and the Centro Stile Ferrettigroup, a skilful team of architects and designers. This new model has been thought as a craft featuring sporty characteristics, designed for owners willing to enjoy a direct sea experience.
