BON VIVANT - 21.95m

Riva's signature mahogany planking wraps BON VIVANT's hull in horizontal bands that catch and release Mediterranean light with each subtle movement through the water. This 2004 design carries the Italian builder's dedication to wood craftsmanship into the twenty-first century, where traditional materials meet contemporary performance demands across 21.95 meters. Her profile maintains the low, purposeful stance that defines Riva's approach to open yacht design. The sweeping windscreen flows into clean deck lines, creating uninterrupted sight lines from the helm to the bow. Forward seating areas benefit from this transparency, offering guests clear views while remaining sheltered from wind. The cockpit layout emphasizes social connection through U-shaped seating that naturally draws conversation inward while keeping the stern platform accessible for water activities. Riva positioned the helm station to provide commanding visibility without dominating the social spaces, allowing the captain to remain part of the onboard experience while maintaining full operational control. Below deck, the accommodation plan reflects the builder's understanding of how guests actually use a yacht of this scale. Primary spaces flow logically from bow to stern, with natural light drawing through strategically placed windows and hatches. The galley integrates into the main living area without overwhelming it, supporting both casual meals and more elaborate entertaining. BON VIVANT represents Riva's ability to balance heritage craftsmanship with practical functionality, creating a platform where traditional materials serve contemporary yachting lifestyles.
