The courageous and unconventional character of the 66' Rebel already shines through in its name, but this is only the beginning! There is in fact very little that is customary in this extraordinary boat that combines exclusive style with the pleasure and comfort of the many innovative solutions on board. 66' Ribelle, the high-tech sportfly, interprets the Riva soul in a unique way, expressing it with an exhilarating combination of beauty and technology. It continues the stylistic path begun with the 56' Rivale and is the entry level of the sportfly range. The design is, as always, by Officina Italiana Design of Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta. The style is unmistakably Riva and explicitly recalls the smaller models that are more closely linked to the yard's history, such as Rivale and Rivamare. The philosophy is that of true sporting luxury, meaning that nothing is lacking on board (starting with volumes), but without sacrificing either the pleasure of piloting or beauty on the water. It is no coincidence that the fly is there, but you can't see it: the ‘top deck’ has not been sacrificed, but, thanks to the work of the designers of the Bergamo-based studio, disappears from view.
46 tonnes of pure luxury made of steel and solid wood is not easy to transport, but this twenty-metre nevertheless copes well. The hull is extremely soft and if the tons are many, the 3,100 bhp of the two MANs (with strictly shaftline transmission) in the engine room are not few either. The result is a good top speed in line with Riva tradition: 37.4 knots, with an overall consumption of just over 600 litres per hour. What is most striking, however, is a surprising pleasantness at the helm, thanks also to the power-assisted steering. Cruising speed is 33 knots, with consumption dropping to 480 litres/hour.
