Description
RIVIERA is a 24-metre Alalunga 78 motor yacht built by Spertini Alalunga and designed for fast, stylish private cruising along the Italian coast. Delivered in 2009 and comprehensively refitted in 2025, she combines classic Italian yacht design with refreshed interiors, strong performance and an exceptionally practical four-cabin layout.
She accommodates up to 9 guests in 4 en-suite cabins and operates with a professional crew of 3. Highlights include full-beam Master and VIP suites, a spacious flybridge, alfresco dining, large sunbathing areas and a useful collection of water toys. Based between Naples and Sorrento, RIVIERA is particularly well suited to private yacht charters along the Amalfi Coast, Capri, the Gulf of Naples, Sardinia and other Italian cruising regions.

Accommodation
RIVIERA accommodates up to 9 guests in 4 en-suite cabins. Her layout includes a full-beam Master Suite, a full-beam VIP cabin and two Twin cabins, one of which includes an additional Pullman berth.
Full-Beam Master Suite
The Master Suite takes advantage of the yacht’s full beam, creating a spacious and comfortable private retreat with generous storage and an en-suite bathroom.
Full-Beam VIP Cabin
A second full-beam Double cabin provides unusually generous accommodation for another couple or principal guest.
2 Twin Cabins
Two Twin cabins complete the arrangement. One includes an additional Pullman berth, allowing RIVIERA to accommodate a ninth guest.
Living Areas & Onboard Comfort
RIVIERA combines elegant Italian interiors with practical exterior spaces designed for Mediterranean living. The main salon includes comfortable lounge seating and a separate dining area, while the exterior decks provide several options for alfresco meals, sunbathing and relaxing between destinations.
Refreshed for Modern Mediterranean Charter
RIVIERA underwent a significant refit in 2025, refreshing her presentation while retaining the performance and spacious four-cabin layout that make the Alalunga 78 platform attractive for private charter.
Her relatively compact 24-metre length, combined with fast cruising performance, makes her especially practical for the Amalfi Coast and Gulf of Naples, where guests can move efficiently between destinations such as Naples, Capri, Ischia, Positano and Amalfi.
Performance
RIVIERA is powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines producing approximately 1,825 HP each. Published charter sources place her cruising speed between approximately 24 and 28 knots, with a maximum speed of around 35 knots.
This performance is particularly valuable on the Italian coast, allowing guests to combine several destinations efficiently without sacrificing large portions of the day to passages.
Tender & Water Toys
RIVIERA carries a practical water-toy setup for swimming, coastal exploration and active days at anchor.
Lomac Tender
An approximately 4–4.4 m Lomac / RIB tender is carried for guest transfers and water-sports support.
Optional Joker Boat
For selected Amalfi Coast programmes, an approximately 6.7 m Joker Boat with 200 HP may be available on request as an additional tender.
Paddle & Water Skiing
Stand-up paddleboard
Water skis
Towable Toys
Towable inflatables provide an additional option for active days at anchor.
Snorkelling
Snorkelling equipment is available for exploring clear-water anchorages along the Italian coastline.
Fishing Equipment
Recreational fishing equipment is available for guest use where local regulations permit.
Tender and water-toy inventories may change between seasons. The optional Joker Boat is subject to availability and may involve an additional charge. Powered water sports are subject to local regulations, weather conditions and fuel costs.
RIVIERA Yacht Charter in Italy
RIVIERA is currently offered for private yacht charters in Italy, with her principal operating area around Naples and Sorrento.
She is particularly well suited to cruising the Amalfi Coast and Gulf of Naples, including destinations such as Capri, Ischia, Positano, Amalfi and Naples. Depending on her confirmed seasonal programme, longer charters may also include other Italian cruising regions such as Sardinia and Sicily.
With cruising speeds reaching approximately 24–28 knots, RIVIERA can cover the relatively short distances between southern Italy’s major coastal destinations efficiently, leaving more time for swimming, dining ashore and exploring.
