Quick Verdict

  • Twin MTU 16V 2000s at around 2,600 hp a side give 26 knots flat out and a 23-knot cruise with roughly 430 nautical miles of range, on 4,042 gallons of fuel
  • Five en-suite guest cabins for ten, a full crew area and a main deck built around a long glass-walled saloon, at 110 feet on a 23'10" beam
  • Retired by Riva and replaced by the 112' Dolcevita Super, so these figures are the last recorded rather than a live manufacturer specification — buy on the hull's own delivery papers and a sea trial you attend

Our Take

Riva has retired the 110' Dolcevita. It is gone from the range on riva-yacht.com, gone from the sibling list on every current model page, and the yard publishes no technical data for it any more. 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 specifications on this page are the ones we recorded 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. I have kept every one of those figures rather than blank the table, because a retired boat with a documented history is still a boat you can buy, and a page that tells you nothing helps nobody.

What I will not do is pretend they are live. Nothing here can be re-checked against Riva today, and that is a different thing from a current model where I can point you at the yard's own technical block. Read these numbers as the last good record rather than as a warranty. Two of them are 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Riva 110' Dolcevita still in production?

No. Riva has retired it and replaced it with the 112' Dolcevita Super, which the yard describes as the evolution of the 110' with expanded volumes and redesigned spaces. The 110' is absent from the range navigation on riva-yacht.com, from the sibling list on every current model page, and from the Ferretti Group press feed. That does not make it unbuyable — it makes it a used-market boat where the individual hull's paperwork matters more than any brochure.

What should you ask for when buying a used Riva 110' Dolcevita?

Because Riva publishes nothing current, the hull has to speak for itself. 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, current fuel and water tank capacities, the refit history, and a recent survey with a sea trial you attend and record speeds at yourself. Check length, draft and engine variant first — those are the three figures where this boat separates from its 112' Dolcevita Super successor, which otherwise shares its beam, tankage, cruise speed and range.

What are the specifications of the Riva 110' Dolcevita?

As last recorded: 110 feet even on a 23'10" beam, a 6'6" draft and roughly 313,000 pounds fully loaded. Twin MTU 16V 2000 diesels from the M96 family at around 2,600 horsepower a side, on shafts, for 26 knots top speed and a 23-knot cruise with about 430 nautical miles of range from 4,042 gallons of fuel. Five en-suite guest cabins for up to ten guests, plus a full crew area. Riva publishes no technical data for the model today, so treat these as the last good record rather than a live manufacturer specification, and confirm them against the individual hull's delivery papers.
