Cavallo

37 knots flat out turns a passage into an afternoon out and back before dinner, with sport styling built for that pace. Riva built Cavallo in 2021 as a Ribelle, and she is offered for sale from her home port of Fort Lauderdale.

Build and provenance

Cavallo is a Riva Ribelle, a monohull sport yacht built in 2021 at 20 metres, with a beam of 5.3 metres and a draught of 1.8 metres, proportions suited to a fast, open-water hull rather than a beamy cruiser.

Layout and accommodation

Six guests sleep across three cabins, including a dedicated owner's suite set apart from the guest cabins. An office aboard turns her into a yacht that can host a working day as easily as a weekend, a detail that suits an owner who does not want to be off the grid entirely.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN V12 engines at 1,550hp apiece give her a 33-knot cruise and a 37-knot top speed, figures that mark her out as a planing sport yacht built for pace rather than distance.

On deck and at anchor

A beach club and swim platform bring her close to the water, and sunpads and space for al fresco dining fill the deck above. A spa pool completes the anchor routine, a stop built into the day rather than an afterthought.

Where she lies and how to see her

Cavallo lies in Fort Lauderdale, in the USA. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is there for them, with survey and sea trial to follow once an offer on her is accepted.
