Riva has retired the 110' Dolcevita. It is gone from the current range on riva-yacht.com, and Riva's own words on the 112' Dolcevita Super describe that boat as the evolution of this one — which tells you where the model went, and that the two are close relatives rather than the same yacht.
The figures on this page are from when the boat was current: 110 feet even, a 23'10" beam, twin MTU 16V 2000s at around 2,600 horsepower a side, 26 knots flat out and a 23-knot cruise good for about 430 nautical miles. Five cabins for ten guests, all en-suite, plus a proper crew area, and a main deck given over to a long glass-walled saloon. A retired boat with a documented history is still a boat you can buy — just read these numbers as that history rather than as a warranty, because a retired model cannot be re-checked against the yard the way a current one can.
One of them is worth watching in particular: the beam, tankage, cruise speed and range are identical to the 112' Dolcevita Super's, which is what you would expect from a successor on the same platform — but it also means a seller quoting you the newer boat's figures would not look obviously wrong.
So buy this one on paperwork. Ask for the original delivery specification for that hull from the yard rather than a broker's summary, the build certificate and CE plate, photographs of the engine model plates on the blocks, the current tank capacities after any refit, and a survey with a sea trial you attend and record speeds at yourself. A retired model with a living successor is often where the value sits in a range, and this is a serious yacht. It just asks more of you before you sign. Send me what comes back and I will read it with you.
