Unveiled together with the 88’ Domino Super yacht in Monaco yesterday, on May 18, 2015, the all-new RIVA 88’ Florida Superyacht is a striking 26,84-metre vessel, mixing up style, elegance and technology with amazing power and speed. Luxury motor yacht Florida 88 boasts the exclusive Ferretti Group’s ‘Convertible Top’ patented system, enabling her to shift from an open to a coupé configuration and vice versa by automatically operating the hardtop that can cover the pilot station in the cockpit.

The 88’ Florida writes a new chapter in Riva’s story – an Italian story that the world will, once more, fall in love with.”
