Kar

A yacht that already earns her keep before a buyer signs is the easiest one to picture in service. Kar has an active charter history, a live demonstration for anyone weighing up the purchase. Riva built her as an 88' Folgore in 2021, and she now lies in Sicily, offered through Boatcrowd.

Build and provenance

Riva delivered Kar as an 88' Folgore, a monohull sportfly motor yacht at 27 metres with a 6.3-metre beam and a two-metre draught. She carries a 2024 refit on her record, described in her listing as perfectly maintained, with a full repaint that year and a winter yard period covering hull cleaning, antifouling and treatment of her running gear. That is the pattern of a yacht kept ready to work, not laid up between owners.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep in four ensuite cabins, led by a full-beam owner's suite with a king bed and a walk-in wardrobe. Two VIP cabins forward take queen beds, and a twin guest cabin completes the deck. A crew of four works from the lower deck, close to the galley, keeping service quick without guests seeing the workings of it.

Performance and engineering

Dual engines deliver 2,638 horsepower each, carrying Kar to a 25-knot cruise and a 34-knot top speed, a sportfly built for pace rather than slow coastal loops. Gyroscopic stabilisation keeps her level under way, useful on a hull built to run fast.

Charter record

Kar already has an active charter history, run through Boatcrowd's own fleet rather than as a one-off listing. A buyer can treat that record as a working reference: a yacht that performs well in charter service is one whose systems and finish have been tested by real weeks aboard, not by description alone.

Where she lies and how to see her

Kar lies in Sicily, in Italy, and her charter programme also runs across Malta, Monaco and France through the season. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is present for each one; once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial come next before the sale is finalised. Because she is already in our charter fleet, a buyer can book a week aboard first and get to know her before deciding to buy.
