Quick Verdict
Twin 2,600-hp MTU 16V diesels deliver 25-plus-knot performance with 430nm range at 23-knot cruise, outpacing most Italian flybridge competitors in the 110–120-foot class
Full-beam main-deck owner's suite and inverted saloon layout prioritize real-world usability over convention, with a 35-square-meter beach club featuring ultra-low platforms and integrated sunpads
Officina Italiana Design maintains Riva's signature restraint while adding functional volume—no unnecessary flash, just disciplined engineering and proven resale strength in European markets
Our Take
TONY'S TAKE
The 112' Dolcevita Super is Riva doing what Riva does best—adding size without adding noise. The all-GRP planing hull with twin MTU 16V 2000s is a proven package, and the 25.5-knot top speed is honest. The acoustic upgrades and reinforced bulkheads show attention to the details that matter after the first season. The beach club redesign is the standout move—35 square meters of usable waterfront space with drop-down bulwarks that actually work. This is not a boat that will surprise you with hidden flaws, but it's also not a boat that will tolerate deferred maintenance.
This boat is for the owner who has already owned in this size range and knows what they don't want. If you need to be convinced that a full-beam main-deck master is worth the trade-off, or if you think a galley belongs hidden below, this isn't your boat. It's for the operator who values speed, range, and layout intelligence over Instagram moments. The inverted saloon layout is polarizing, but it works if you actually use the boat. If you're planning to run this owner-operator, reconsider — Riva fits four crew cabins for a reason.
The secondary market for Riva flybridge models in this range has been stable, particularly in Mediterranean markets where the brand carries weight. The 112' is too new for resale data, but the 110' Dolcevita has held value better than comparable Azimut or Ferretti models. Maintenance costs will be higher than domestic builds—Italian fit and finish requires Italian-level attention. Budget accordingly, follow the MTU service intervals, and this boat will run for decades. Skip the maintenance, and you'll learn why brokers discount distressed Italian inventory by 30 percent..

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Riva 112' Dolcevita Super and the 110' Dolcevita?
The 112' replaced the 110' in Riva's range, and Riva describes it as the evolution of the older boat with expanded volumes and spaces redesigned for closer contact with the water. The practical difference for a buyer is documentation: Riva publishes a full technical block for the 112' — 112'10" length, 25.5 knots, a 23-knot cruise, 430 nautical miles, five cabins and four crew cabins — and publishes nothing at all for the retired 110'.
What is the range of the Riva 112' Dolcevita Super?
430 nautical miles at a 23-knot cruise, from 4,042 gallons of fuel — the longest legs of any boat in the Riva range. Top speed is 25.5 knots on twin MTU 16V 2000 M96Ls at 2,638 hp each, which is the only engine package Riva offers. That range gets you Fort Lauderdale to the Abacos without a fuel stop.
How many crew does the Riva 112' Dolcevita Super need?
Riva fits four crew cabins, which is the honest guide to the answer. Alongside five guest cabins and twenty people aboard, that is a professionally crewed boat rather than one you run yourself with help at the weekend. The step from the 102' Corsaro Super's three crew cabins to four here is the operational difference between the two, and it moves before the length does.
