Quick Verdict
Twin 2,600-hp MTU 16V diesels deliver 25-plus-knot performance with 430nm range at 23-knot cruise — the longest legs in the entire Riva range
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
Our Take
Riva stretched the 110' Dolcevita by two feet and completely rethought the outdoor spaces. The result is a boat that feels more like a 120-footer when you're using it, but still moves like a 110-footer. The twin MTU 16V engines are proven, the hull is GRP with no exotic materials, and the systems are straightforward. This is not a boat that will surprise you with weird engineering decisions three years in. Riva builds to a standard, and they've been doing it long enough to know what works. The 6'9" draft is the hidden advantage here—it opens up the entire Bahamas and Florida Keys without the range anxiety of a deeper-draft yacht.
This boat is for the owner who already knows the drill. You've owned a 70-90 footer, you understand crew dynamics, and you're ready to step up without stepping into full superyacht territory. You want speed, you want Italian design, and you want a boat that doesn't require six crew to operate. The five-cabin layout is owner-focused, not charter-focused, which means it works for family trips and small groups but won't pencil out as a charter asset. If you're planning to use the boat yourself 8-10 weeks per year and you value the ability to move quickly between destinations, the 112' Dolcevita Super is one of the best options in the 110-120' planing yacht category.
Resale on Riva yachts in this size range is stable but not spectacular. You'll take a 30-40 percent hit in the first three years, then depreciation flattens out. The Italian pedigree helps, but you're not buying this boat as an investment. Annual operating costs will run $1.5-2 million if you're running a four-person crew and using the boat regularly. Fuel is the variable—at 23 knots you're burning 215 gallons per hour, so budget accordingly. The good news is that Riva's build quality means maintenance costs are predictable. No surprises, no weird proprietary systems that only one technician in Europe can fix. This is a boat you can own for 10 years without regretting the decision..

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: the 112' is a current model with a full factory technical block — 112'10" length, 25.5 knots, a 23-knot cruise, 430 nautical miles, five cabins and four crew cabins — while the retired 110' is verified against its own hull's delivery papers instead.
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.
