The master cabin is located portside astern and set
slightly lower than the other two, and has been enriched
with a bed run around in leather stitching. The slightly
lower position of the cabin makes it possible to use all
the space available. The guest cabin, also located portside midships, features bunk beds, set out in an L-shape
which offer a pleasant panoramic view of the surface of
the water. The master and VIP cabins, set at bow, both
feature en-suite heads, whilst the day head is located
opposite the guest cabin.
The harmonious profile and racy lines of the yacht are
further emphasised by the large arrowshaped side windows, which have made so many other Riva models successful and guarantee excellent natural lighting below
deck. The unusual features of the hull and teak of the
deck and part of the cockpit, together with the many
details in stainless steel, contribute to making the 63'
Virtus both modern and sporty.

"Riva is an extraordinary brand, and always manages to
innovate, creating unique, cuttingedge models, whilst
still maintaining the charm and magic which have characterised it for over 160 years," said Norberto Ferretti,
Chairman of the Group bearing the same name. "The
63' Virtus, with her strong, decisive character combined
with the elegance and refined features which are typical
to this brand, is the perfect addition to the Riva range."
The new Riva 63' Virtus is also on the cutting-edge for
her on-board technological equipment. Featuring twin
1360mhp MAN 12V engines, 1000 kW at 2300 rpm/min,
delivering excellent performance, with a top speed of 40
knots and a cruise speed of 35 thanks to the tried and
tested hull equipped with tunnel propulsion. Her ease of
handling and smoothness over the waves are excellent
for this category.
"Sporty, sociable and a pleasure to drive. These are the
concepts which guided the design of the new Riva open",
asserted Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of
Officina Italiana Design. "With Riva 63' Virtus, we wanted to create a long-lasting yacht, destined to become
part of Riva's history and its great classics."
"We are pleased to present the Riva 63' Virtus, a sporty,
racy yacht characterised by a style which has always
distinguished the Riva brand", stated Alberto Perrone
da Zara, Riva Brand Manager Sales Manager. "Virtus is
a model able to fully satisfy the needs of Owners who
want to drive their yachts easily, with spaces suitable for
sharing comfortably with whoever they choose."
