A 42m sailing yacht where heritage meets high-performance hospitality

Yet beneath the surface lies a vessel engineered for performance, stability and efficiency. Her naval architecture delivers “exceptional fluid dynamics”, contributing to smooth, efficient motion whether crossing the Adriatic or cruising the Mediterranean coast. At nine to 10 knots, she consumes approximately 65 to 75 litres per hour, offering a range of around 800 nautical miles. According to the owner, she is classified within the top 30 per cent of efficient yachts globally by length overall.

Accommodation is arranged for eight to 10 guests across five cabins, making her ideally scaled for private owners, boutique charter programmes or curated executive retreats. High ceilings amplify the sense of volume, while expansive glazing draws the outside in. Days begin with light filtering softly across timber floors and end with low-lit conversations stretching long past dinner. Crucially for commercial operation, Riana’s layout has also been conceived with efficient spatial flow for crew.

The foredeck transforms from a shaded midday chill-out spot to a front-row seat beneath the stars. The aft deck, meanwhile, provides a natural setting for al fresco dining, from relaxed family lunches to formal dinners for high-profile guests. Above, the flybridge becomes an elevated lounge, equally suited sunbathing or sunset cocktails. 

Her proportions allow for both intimacy and scale - cosy corners for private conversation and generous open areas for hosting brand launches, leadership summits or curated cultural gatherings.
