About LADY FIRST

LADY FIRST is a 40-metre displacement motor yacht built by Riva in 2023 to the Riva 130 Bellissima model, registered under the Cayman Islands flag, with exterior and interior design by Officina Italiana Design. As a recently delivered vessel from one of Italy's most recognised marques, she embodies the aesthetic and engineering priorities of the modern Ferretti Group Riva programme applied to the flagship 130-foot platform.

She accommodates 11 guests across 5 cabins with a crew of 7, a ratio that provides a solid foundation for attentive personal service. Her charter regions are notably broad for a vessel of her size, spanning the western Mediterranean — French Riviera, Monaco, Corsica, Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast, Portofino, and Ligurian Riviera — as well as the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Cayman Islands registration supports this transatlantic flexibility, and she represents a relevant option for guests whose programme spans both basins across a season.

LADY FIRST's carbon fibre hull construction is the detail that most distinguishes her within the Riva 130 platform: it reduces displacement relative to equivalent steel or GRP vessels at this length, contributing to her 17-knot cruise speed and 22-knot maximum. Officina Italiana Design's interior and exterior work carries the hallmarks of contemporary Italian yacht design — clean lines, quality material specification, and a considered relationship between interior volume and external deck space. Amenities include a beach club, deck jacuzzi, sun deck, exterior bar, swimming platform, underwater lights, BBQ, sunpads, and Wi-Fi.

Water access is central to the LADY FIRST experience, structured around the beach club and swimming platform. The toy inventory includes seabobs, a jet-ski, foilboard, wake board, water-skis, kayaks, snorkelling equipment, and towable toys. With 7 crew managing 11 guests, the service standard on this charter yacht is consistent with the vessel's premium delivery-year specification. The Riva 130 Bellissima represents one of the more complete current-generation Italian motor yachts available in the charter market at this length.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols. As an independent authority, RightYacht provides owners and charterers with transparent, third-party evaluation — helping inform decisions beyond marketing materials alone.

About This Score

This is a provisional score based on publicly available data only. Unlike verified yachts, this listing lacks:

  • Independent on-board inspection
  • Crew qualification verification
  • Maintenance record audit
  • Safety equipment inspection

The actual safety profile may differ significantly.

Provisional scores are calculated from eight factors: vessel age, refit recency, classification society, flag state, crew-to-guest ratio, builder reputation, vessel size, and charter region coverage. All provisional scores are capped at 75/100. Learn how scores work →
