Diable

Two cabins for four guests is a deliberately small footprint, and it is the choice behind Diable's layout: a sports yacht built to be driven, not to host a crowd below deck. Riva delivered her in 2023, and one crew member keeps her running, which suits a couple or two couples who want speed without a full ship's company aboard.

Build and provenance

She is a GRP-hulled Riva Diable, built in 2023 and kept in dry storage since her delivery that November with 20 hours on her engines and 15 on her generators. For a buyer, that means a survey closer to a new-boat inspection than one weighing years of hard use.

Layout and accommodation

Four guests sleep in two cabins, one of them a full-beam master that takes the width of the hull, while a single cabin below houses the one crew member who runs her. Life aboard centres on the cockpit, the sunpads aft and a bow area built for lounging, the open-air spaces a sports yacht like this is designed around rather than the cabins below.

Performance and engineering

MAN V-12 engines give her a cruising speed of 31 knots and a top speed of 39, numbers that put her in true sports-yacht territory rather than a fast cruiser dressed up to look quick. A 3,800-litre fuel tank against 601 litres of fresh water reflects a boat built to run hard for a day rather than to cross an ocean.

Where she lies and how to see her

Boatcrowd is the buyer's point of contact for Diable throughout a purchase, arranging a viewing and attending it with you directly. A survey and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted, straightforward work on a yacht with so few hours on her machinery.
