Want to know what made today awesome?

Opening my inbox and finding our media credentials to Riva Yachts.  Riva Yachts.

More specifically, our real source of joy was getting more information on the Riva 86 Domino – Riva’s successor to their 68′ Ego Super model. 

According to Riva’s official site:

This 26 metre coupè, result of the working relationship between Officina Italiana Design, the exclusive designer of all the yachts in the Riva range, AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology – Ferretti Group’s naval research and design centre, and the team of architects and designers of Centro Stile Ferrettigroup, is an evolution of the 68′ Ego Super model, featuring larger spaces and several living areas which allow ever more socialising. These characteristics make this yacht ideal for both long cruises and daily life on board.

Based on these images, we think you’ll agree - living on the Riva 86 Domino isn’t such a bad proposition.

Here’s some more information about the living spaces on the Riva 86 Domino from Riva’s official press release:

As already experimented on (the) 92’Duchessa, a large sundeck at bow features a dinette with a table for 6, whilst another table, which can also seat 6 guests, and a comfortable sofa, are located in the cockpit.

The sundeck is perfectly integrated into the upper part of the deckhouse, so that it cannot be perceived from outside. It features a second steering position, ideal for mooring manoeuvres, and a sunpad with a reclining back which can accommodate 3 guests.

The closed, air-conditioned upper salon, creates an open space area with the dinette, and is separated from the helm station by a large LCD television. This solution guarantees the passage of natural light both through the large side windows and the windshield, fully lighting this area. The design of the furnishing elements, and the choice to match the special shades of elm and grey durmast with natural-coloured leather inserts and grey lacquering make this an attractive, welcoming environment, emphasising the spaciousness.

The fully-equipped galley is located on a mezzanine level, and accessed from the left hand side of the helm station, whilst the crew cabins (for 4 people) are accessed from the stern cockpit. They feature a head and dinette, guaranteeing total privacy for owners and their guests.

The special design of the large window in correspondence with the full beam master cabin located amidships follows the surfaces of the hull, integrating into it perfectly and ensuring as much light as possible in this environment. Equipped with an en-suite head and walk-in wardrobe, the master cabin also has a private living-room area and vanity. The VIP cabin, with en-suite head, is located at bow, whilst two twin-bedded guest cabins with en-suite heads, are located between this and the master cabin. The portside guest cabin also features a system of sliding beds on tracks that allows to transform it into a second, double-bedded cabin.

So how much for all this awesomeness? According to luxury-insider.com, just a mere 5,900,000 Euros (or about $7,889,778.00).

I mean, if you’re going to dream big, might as well DREAM BIG, right?  We’ll take ours in the stock color.  Just throw in a few supermodels waiting for us before we show up.

We’ve got room for a few of them.

I’m going back to sleep so I can keep dreaming about this yacht, an Ultimat martini, Miami and…. other things.
