Riva 68' Diable overview
The Riva 68' Diable is a 20.67-metre open yacht combining a large exterior living area with three guest cabins and separate crew accommodation. It sits within Riva's current open range and provides a high-performance alternative to flybridge yachts of similar length.
Dimensions and accommodation
The official technical specification gives an overall length of 20.67 metres, beam of 5.29 metres and draft of 1.78 metres. The lower-deck arrangement is published with three guest cabins plus one crew cabin. Riva also states a maximum of 16 people on board, but Luxury Yacht Guide does not treat that operational capacity as overnight guest accommodation.
Standard and optional performance
The standard MAN V12 1550 package is published with a 37-knot maximum speed, 33-knot cruise and 260-nautical-mile range at cruising speed. The optional MAN V12 1650 package increases maximum speed to 40 knots and cruise to 34 knots, with a published 250-nautical-mile range.
Tankage and displacement
Fuel capacity is 3,800 litres and fresh-water capacity is 600 litres. Riva publishes both unladen and laden displacement figures, so the generic Luxury Yacht Guide displacement field remains unset rather than reducing two different operating conditions to one number.
Buyer context
The 68' Diable is aimed at buyers who want the styling and open-deck character of a performance yacht without giving up three-cabin accommodation. It provides a direct comparison with other Italian open and sports yachts around 20–21 metres.
