No Surrender

A yacht kept under one continuous care routine tells a different story to one left waiting between refits. No Surrender has had no refit at all, only that routine: Riva built her in 2020, and she stands offered today as a used yacht in the condition it has kept her in. She lies in Newport, in the United States, offered through Boatcrowd.

Build and provenance

Riva built No Surrender as a 110' Dolcevita, a monohull motor yacht at 34 metres with a 7.3-metre beam and a two-metre draught, sporty in style rather than built for slow, long-range cruising. She carries no refit year on her record. In its place is a standing programme of upkeep: professional crew, undercover storage, and an annual ceramic-coating treatment that keeps her finish current without a larger rebuild.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, led by a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck with its own walk-in wardrobe, three further ensuite staterooms taking queen beds, and a twin cabin that sleeps a third guest on a pullman berth. A crew of five works from their own quarters, kept apart from the guest decks. The flybridge carries its own bar and dining area above a main salon lit by floor-to-ceiling glazing.

Performance and engineering

Two MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, each rated at 2,638 hp, give her a 23-knot cruise and a 26-knot top speed. Zero-speed stabilisers hold her steady at anchor, worth having on a boat whose speed is otherwise her defining trait.

Where she lies and how to see her

No Surrender lies in Newport, in the United States. Boatcrowd arranges viewings there and stands alongside a buyer through each one; once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before the sale is finalised.
