Bel Sogno

Thirty-eight knots flat out turns a day on the water into something closer to an event: Bel Sogno is built around that pace. Riva completed her in 2024, a 21-metre sports monohull, and the entertaining space on board is arranged for a crowd that has just arrived rather than one settling in for a slow cruise.

Build and provenance

She is a 21-metre sports monohull with a 5.3-metre beam and a draught of 1.8 metres. No refit shows in her record, which for a yacht this recent is simply a reflection of her age rather than a claim about condition.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests are accommodated across four cabins on Bel Sogno, with the layout weighted towards time spent outside.

Performance and engineering

Two engines rated at 3,300 horsepower combined give her a 30-knot cruise and a 38-knot top speed, the kind of numbers that come with a planing hull rather than a cruising one. Bow and stern thrusters and a joystick system make close-quarters docking straightforward for a boat built primarily for open water, stabilisers keep her level under way, and a tender garage stows a second boat out of sight. She carries 1,004 gallons of fuel and 188 gallons of fresh water.

On deck and at anchor

A hydraulic swim platform lowers to the waterline for swimming, and air conditioning covers the accommodation below for warmer days.

Where she lies and how to see her

Bel Sogno lies in Fort Lauderdale. Boatcrowd represents her sale, arranges viewings and is present for each one, and once a buyer's offer is accepted we co-ordinate the survey and sea trial that come next.
