'19m RIVA YACHT Virtus 2016'

Of all the boat brands in the world, Riva is one of the few regarded with awe, respect, even reverence. In its 160-plus-year history, the Italian yard has created some of the most elegant and beautiful designs on the water, each so lovely that passengers sometimes feel a sense of privilege sitting in the cockpit. In addition to looks, the brand is known for best-in-class engineering, construction, and craftsmanship.

The highlights of this Mediterranean-styled yacht are the big outdoor spaces at the bow and in the cockpit, designed for people who are drawn to boating for the sheer joy of feeling the wind, sun, and spray in their faces while traveling from port to port. There’s a good deal of thrill to be experienced, too, as this yacht is powered by twin 1,360-hp MAN engines.
