SLEEK COMFORT
A speed of 38 knots makes the Riva Rivale 52 a wind-in-your-hair weekender.
Riva’s rivale 52 is a part of the Italian shipyard’s line of classic designs that includes the Aquariva and Rivarama. ¶ It is set up with three staterooms belowdecks: an en suite master forward and two twin-berth guest staterooms to port and starboard. The galley belowdecks has a cooktop, sink, microwave, and refrigerator/freezer below a plasma TV. The main deck’s hydraulically lifted leather sun pad aft hides a garage capable of stowing an Avon RIB. ¶ At press time, there were 17 Rivale 52s available, ranging from $573,949 to $1,434,873.
