Indiscretion

35 knots changes what a weekend afloat looks like: a run that would eat half a day at half the speed becomes a quick hop, and that is the character built into this boat. Riva delivered her in 2016 at 27 metres, and Indiscretion carries the sport styling to match the number on her spec sheet rather than just implying it.

Build and provenance

Riva built Indiscretion in 2016 on a monohull GRP platform with a matching GRP superstructure, a beam of 6.29 metres and a gross tonnage of 122 packed into a 27-metre length. That is a lean hull for her size, built to get up and stay on the plane rather than to maximise interior volume.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, with a crew of three aboard to run her. On a sport yacht built for speed, the cabins are there for overnight stops rather than long stretches at sea, and the layout favours time spent on deck over time spent below.

Performance and engineering

She cruises at 35 knots, a figure that puts her hull firmly in planing territory rather than displacement cruising. At 122 gross tons on a 27-metre platform, she is light for her length, which is exactly what a boat needs to reach that speed and hold it rather than just touch it briefly.

Where she lies and how to see her

Indiscretion lies in Sag Harbor, in the United States. Boatcrowd arranges viewings there and takes part in each one, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial follow before the sale is completed.
