Riva 130

Onboard the Riva 130

At 40 metres, the Riva 130 sits comfortably in the superyacht bracket of the fleet, offering five cabins for up to 12 guests — a ratio that gives every cabin genuine separation rather than shared corridors and thin walls. The scale of the vessel changes how a charter feels day to day: guests can spread across multiple decks, hold a private dinner without reorganising furniture, and retreat to a cabin without crossing paths with the rest of the group. For a party of family or friends split across generations, or a small corporate group that wants working space and downtime kept apart, that layout does real work.

A yacht of this length and cabin count from a builder like Riva is naturally suited to charters that run beyond a single afternoon. Based out of Mallorca, the Riva 130 can support a multi-day itinerary along the island's coast, with provisioning arranged in advance so the galley is stocked before departure rather than sourced mid-route. A typical pattern might combine a night at anchor off the east coast calas with a slower cruising day toward the south, adjusting for wind and swell as the professional crew sees fit. Where an itinerary includes Cabrera National Park, guests should note that access requires a permit booked ahead of time — the Riva 130's size and range make it a practical platform for that kind of extended, permit-based route rather than a same-day dash.

This is a yacht for guests who want a superyacht footprint without needing the largest hull in the fleet — couples marking an occasion with an overnight stay somewhere quiet, families who need five separate cabins to keep everyone comfortable, or a corporate host looking to combine a lunch cruise with a private, catered evening on board. Because charters of this scale involve provisioning, routing and permit questions specific to the season, it's worth confirming departure marina and itinerary details with the broker before finalising dates — particularly for trips that extend beyond a single day or touch protected anchorages.
