Fitting neatly between the Riva 56 Rivale and the Riva 76 Bahamas – and marginally quicker than both – the new Riva 68 Diable is whatever you want it to be, from an uber-chic dayboat or weekender, to a super-luxury cruiser for six. The hardtop, with its sliding sunroof and powered bimini, makes the Diable superbly versatile for a variety of conditions.
Inside the 68 Diable, Riva's interior design is as stunning as ever, combining Riva’s signature quality & detailing with serious cruising comfort. Exquisitely appointed throughout, the three-cabin layout features a full-beam owner’s suite, plus a double and a twin suite for family or guests. The open-plan lounge area features a six-place dinette and the galley. Huge hull windows deliver plenty of natural light to the whole space with sweeping sea views.

The 68 Diable is of course utterly gorgeous, but also beautifully thought out, to deliver an incomparable cruising experience. The elegant hardtop incorporates a sliding sunroof, which opens forward and back, plus a powered bimini. So, whether you're moored or under way, you can choose as much sun or shade as you wish across the huge cockpit area. As well as sunbeds on the foredeck and in the cockpit, a fold-out chaise longue provides another at the water’s edge by the bathing platform.

Even in ‘standard’ guise, the Diable’s performance is exceptional. Equipped with a pair of 1550hp MAN V12s, she returns a cruising range of 260 nm at 33 knots, and a top speed around 37 knots. The twin 1650hp option increases that to a formidable 40 knots (46mph). And thanks to Riva’s celebrated hull design, and their expertise with shaft drive, the handling is simply sublime, with a majestic ride and impeccable seakeeping.
