Quick Verdict
- Five cabins and three crew cabins on a 99'3" hull, with six bathrooms — accommodation that usually starts a size class higher
- Main-deck owner's suite with full-beam layout and floor-to-ceiling windows, a feature most competitors reserve for custom builds
- Twin MTU 16V 2000s give 26 knots on the M96 and 28 on the M96L, with 310 and 300 nautical miles of range at cruise — Riva publishes both sets
Our Take
The Corsaro Super represents Riva's most successful attempt at making a yacht this size feel approachable. The build quality is consistent with Ferretti Group standards, which means solid laminate work, reliable systems integration, and a parts network that actually functions. The twin MTU package is proven and well-supported. The hull design prioritizes efficiency over raw speed, which is the right call for this class. The boat feels like it was engineered by people who actually use boats rather than people who just sell them.
This is for the buyer who plans to be aboard frequently and doesn't want to manage a large crew. If you're coming from a 70-footer and stepping up, this is a logical progression. If you're downsizing from a 120-footer, you'll appreciate the simplicity but might miss the dedicated crew areas and storage volume. It's not for the buyer who wants to make a statement at the dock. The design is restrained, almost conservative. That's a feature, not a bug, but it won't appeal to everyone.
Resale on Riva flybridge models in this size range has been stable, particularly for well-maintained examples with reasonable hours. The brand carries weight in Europe and is gaining traction in the U.S. market. Expect first-year depreciation to hurt, then stabilization around year three. Maintenance costs are predictable if you stay on top of service intervals. The real wildcard is crew costs if you go that route. Budget conservatively and you won't be surprised..

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cabins does the Riva 102' Corsaro Super have?
Five cabins and six bathrooms for guests, plus three crew cabins with two bathrooms of their own, and twenty people aboard. Fitting five guest cabins and three crew cabins inside 99 feet is the whole argument for this boat — owners normally have to move up a full size class to find that arrangement, and the step from three crew to four is a real one in running costs.
How fast is the Riva 102' Corsaro Super?
26 knots on twin MTU 16V 2000 M96s and 28 knots on the M96L upgrade, with a 23- or 24-knot cruise. Range at cruise is 310 nautical miles on the standard engines and 300 on the upgrade. The faster package costs you ten miles of reach for one knot of cruise and two of top end, which is a narrower gain than the brochure spread suggests.
How long is the Riva 102' Corsaro Super?
99 feet 3 inches — 30.24 metres. The name is Riva's model designation, not the length. This matters more than it sounds: the boat is well over 24 metres, so any suggestion that it sits under the 24-metre threshold for lighter commercial requirements is simply wrong. Check the figure on Riva's own technical block before you plan around a registration category.
