The 44-foot 2014 Riva Rivarama BELLA is a niche small-Riva, a segment that trades on Italian craftsmanship and residual brand value more than raw utility. She spent her working life as a tender to a large superyacht and was maintained by a full-time professional crew, which is the kind of maintenance history that reads well on a survey. The 2022 refit rolled in fresh exterior upholstery, all high-gloss teak and mahogany stripped and refinished, new bimini, new boat cover, and the 2024 replacement of the swim platform transom steps.
Mechanically she runs twin MAN R6-800s at roughly 800 hp each, showing 512 hours per engine. Kohler 9 kW generator, Garmin chart plotter and autopilot, BOSE and Sirius XM, Besenzoni hydraulic passerelle, and Fireboy automatic fire suppression. Interior layout centers on a full centerline berth forward with a single crew cabin and Planus heads. Beam, draft, and cruise data are not published in the spec block.
Ask is $465,000 in Fort Lauderdale. Riva 44s at this age and hour count typically transact in the mid-$400s to low-$500s in the Florida market, so the ask sits inside the fair band for a boat with this maintenance file. The story here reads more collector than utility to me. Presents well in the photos and the ownership history is unusually clean for a decade-old European build.
