Defined by its iconic silhouette and infinite foredeck, this 2016 Riva Black Corsair 60 represents a unique marriage of historic design and contemporary engineering. Originally built in 1988, this vessel underwent a comprehensive reconstruction at the original Sarnico shipyard, completed in 2016. Every element, from the hull and superstructure to the custom joinery, teak decking, and exterior furnishings, was meticulously renewed to ensure the vessel remains in excellent condition.
Technical enhancements bring this used boat into the modern era of performance and comfort. Notable upgrades include high-performance MTU engines, a gyroscopic stabilizer, a retractable stern platform, and a robust passerelle. The addition of a foldable side swimming platform mirrors the features found on contemporary superyachts, significantly increasing usable deck space for leisure and water activities.
Below deck, the interior layout transitions into a villa-style living space. An expansive, open-plan area integrates the kitchen, pantry, and salon for seamless entertaining. The accommodation comprises two well-appointed cabins and two bathrooms. The forward master suite is particularly notable for its dedicated en-suite bathroom and a luxurious Turkish hammam shower, offering a sophisticated retreat for owners.
This specific vessel holds historical significance, featuring a celebratory plaque signed by the late engineer Carlo Riva himself, commemorating the artisans who breathed new life into the Black Corsair #04. Having been utilized primarily as a day-service vessel, the boat remains in near-new condition with minimal operational hours recorded.
Currently located in Italy with VAT paid, this Riva Black Corsair 60 is ready for private ownership. Whether envisioned as a high-end support vessel for a superyacht or as a premier independent cruiser for the Mediterranean, it offers an unmatched combination of heritage, craftsmanship, and modern technical reliability.
