About this tender
The Riva Capri 58 is a 17.3m chase boat from Riva, built in Sarnico, Italy: twin 1,200hp shaft, 37 knots, 14 guests and 200nm of range.
The Riva 58' Capri New is the build we point owners and captains towards when the programme calls for a 17-metre open that covers ground at serious speed without sacrificing a properly appointed interior. Two engine configurations are available from the factory: the MAN V8 1000, producing 1,000 hp per side and delivering a quoted maximum of 33 knots; or the MAN V8 1200, adding 200 hp per engine and pushing the top end to 37 knots. Both share the same hull, beam, and accommodation layout, so the choice comes down to your cruising profile rather than any compromise on space or finish.
Below decks the 58' Capri carries two guest cabins and a dedicated crew cabin, each with its own head - a layout that places it firmly in open-yacht territory rather than day-boat. The fixed canopy above the cockpit is the visual signature of this generation, integrating into the hull lines rather than sitting as a bolt-on addition. With fourteen persons certified aboard and a fuel tank running to 2,300 litres, the range figure of 200 to 210 nautical miles at cruise is credible for a twin-screw petrol platform of this displacement.
We would put the 58' Capri alongside the larger open offerings from Ferretti Group stablemates when assessing value for your programme; the build sits on the same Cattolica production floor with the quality control that implies. The unladen displacement of 27,900 kg and laden figure of 32,000 kg tell you this is a substantial, seaworthy hull rather than a lightweight coastal runabout. If your mothership carries a garage large enough to accommodate a 17.27m LOA, the Capri slots in as a very capable passage-maker as well as a day-use tender.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
The MAN V8 1000 delivers 1,000 hp per side and a 33-knot maximum; the MAN V8 1200 steps up to 1,200 hp and 37 knots. Both configurations use the same shaft-drive twin-screw arrangement on an identical hull, allowing owners to specify performance to their itinerary without altering the accommodation or deck plan.
The defining feature of this Capri generation is a fixed canopy that merges structurally into the hull and superstructure lines rather than being added as an aftermarket hardtop. The result is a cleaner profile and genuine shelter for the cockpit without the visual bulk that a conventional flybridge would introduce at this length.
The lower deck carries two guest cabins, two guest heads, a crew cabin, and a crew head as standard across both engine variants. At 17.27m LOA that is a credible overnight layout and places the 58' Capri above most open tenders that stop at a single guest cabin at this size.
A 2,300-litre fuel tank supports a quoted cruising range of 200 to 210 nautical miles depending on engine fit, at quoted cruise speeds of 27 to 31 knots respectively. For a vessel expected to run programmes between anchorages without a fuel stop, that capacity is the practical differentiator against shorter-range open boats in the 15 to 18-metre bracket.
