About
The Riva 56 Rivale Super measures 17.27 m (56 ft 8 in) overall with a maximum beam of 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in). Developed within Riva’s modern motor-yacht range, the model combines the brand’s recognisable styling with an arrangement designed for both social use and extended time on board.
Riva offers both a two-cabin layout with separate crew accommodation and a three-cabin guest configuration, allowing the lower deck to be tailored toward crew separation or additional guest capacity.
As part of the wider Riva yachts range, the 56 Rivale Super is available on the pre-owned market in different years, specifications and equipment levels. Buyers should compare the exact engine package, options, service history and condition of each individual yacht.
Design & Layout
The Riva 56 Rivale Super is characterised by a restyled open-yacht profile with ergonomic updates intended to improve onboard liveability while preserving the Rivale’s sporty character. The exterior arrangement is intended to make effective use of the yacht’s 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in) beam while maintaining the low, elegant proportions associated with Riva.
Riva offers both a two-cabin layout with separate crew accommodation and a three-cabin guest configuration, allowing the lower deck to be tailored toward crew separation or additional guest capacity.
Individual yachts can vary in interior finishes, optional equipment and deck configuration. For pre-owned examples, the original build specification and any later upgrades should therefore be reviewed alongside the yacht’s current condition.
Performance
The Riva 56 Rivale Super is offered with twin MAN V8 1000 or MAN V8 1200 diesel engines. Published maximum performance is 34 knots with the 1000 hp engines or 38 knots with the 1200 hp engines, with cruising speeds of 28 or 32 knots respectively.
The available propulsion configurations give buyers different balances of performance and cruising characteristics. The exact machinery installed should be confirmed for each yacht, particularly where more than one factory engine option was offered.
Actual speed, range and fuel consumption depend on loading, hull condition, sea state, equipment and engine condition. Buyers considering a pre-owned 56 Rivale Super should verify engine hours, maintenance history and sea-trial performance for the individual yacht.
