Overview
About this vessel
Now available in Auckland, this Riva 66 Ribelle presents a genuinely rare opportunity, currently the only 66 Ribelle available on the market in Australasia.
Delivered new by Ray White Marine in 2021 and professionally managed since arrival, she has seen exceptionally light use with just 145 hours on the engines. The condition on board is something you notice immediately. It feels exactly as you would expect when stepping onto a newly delivered boat, with every detail reflecting minimal use.
The Ferrari of the sea; Riva is one of the most iconic names in yachting, with a heritage dating back to 1842 on Lake Iseo in Italy. Known for its craftsmanship, design, and presence on the water, the brand has always sat at the very top end of the market, and the 66 Ribelle carries that forward effortlessly.
Equipped with twin MAN 1550 V12 shaft drive, a preferred setup for many owners, offering simplicity and confidence on the water. Handling is made easy with both bow and stern thrusters integrated into joystick control, giving precise, intuitive manoeuvrability whether short-handed or coming into tight berths.
The 66 Ribelle itself strikes a perfect balance between performance and liveability, with a layout that works exceptionally well for Australasian boating. The seamless flow from cockpit through to the saloon creates a social, open space ideal for entertaining, while still offering the option to close off and enjoy extended time on board.
Below, the accommodation layout is both practical and well considered, featuring a full beam master suite, forward VIP cabin, and twin guest cabin, all with their own ensuites, along with a separate single crew cabin with ensuite. Notably, the accommodation has never been used overnight, and the condition reflects that immediately. The finishes, soft furnishings, and onboard equipment all carry that same crisp, untouched feel, giving a buyer the sense of taking delivery rather than taking over.
Performance is exactly what you would expect from a Ribelle. Responsive, capable, and genuinely enjoyable to drive, while still delivering the comfort and refinement that defines the Riva experience.
Opportunities like this are few and far between. The only 66 Ribelle available in Australasia, available now, and presenting in a way that is very hard to replicate without building new. For buyers considering a new build, this is where the opportunity sits. You can step straight into ownership today, without the 12-18 month wait, and without compromise.
