Riva 130 Bellissima

Onboard the Riva 130 Bellissima

The Riva 130 Bellissima carries her 40 metres with the low, sculpted lines the yard is known for, and the layout backs up the styling. Five cabins sleep up to 12 guests in a private arrangement forward and below, while the outdoor spaces are built for use rather than display: a bow lounge for morning coffee or early sun, a sundeck spa set apart from the main social areas, and a dedicated al-fresco dining space that lets the crew serve a full meal outside without crossing through the interior. The swim platform sits close to the water, giving easy access for guests moving between the boat and the sea.

From Port Olímpic, the Riva 130 Bellissima is suited to a full day out of Barcelona rather than a short loop of the bay — the cabins and dining setup make sense of a longer route, such as the run down to Sitges, where the anchorage sits more sheltered than the open roadstead in front of the city. Departures still cross Barcelona's working harbour, with commercial and ferry traffic close to the entrance, so the captain handles that stretch before opening up the cruise once clear of the port. At a cruising speed of around 25 knots, the yacht covers this kind of coastal distance without turning the day into a long transit.

She suits groups who want the scale and privacy of a superyacht without needing an entire top-deck event space — a family split across generations, a small corporate group wanting a working lunch away from the office, or friends taking a full day rather than an evening sail. Five cabins give flexibility for overnight extensions along the coast if the itinerary calls for it, and the same broker-led process used for shorter Barcelona day charters applies here: route planning, provisioning arrangements and fuel guidance are worked out with the captain ahead of departure, sized to the length of the day rather than assumed from the vessel's size alone.
