Riva 56 Rivale
A fast, low-slung hull built for Cap Taillat afternoons
- 17m
- 10 guests
- 2 cabins
The Invictus 460 is built for speed rather than slow cruising, and it shows the moment you push the throttle forward: a clean, planing hull that settles quickly and holds a stable 38-knot cruise without the jolt you'd expect from a boat this size. The bow lounge is the natural gathering point once you're anchored, open to the sun and set apart from the cockpit seating, so sunbathers and conversation don't compete for the same space.
At 14.4 metres, this is a day boat in the true sense: quick to leave the berth, quick to cover water, and suited to routes where speed matters more than range. A short run out from Port de Saint-Tropez toward the Gulf anchor field gets you swimming within the hour, and the same speed makes a late-afternoon loop toward Baie de Cavalaire or back for a sunset pass along the coast an easy addition rather than a full change of plan.
Twelve guests can be aboard comfortably for the day, with two cabins available for changing or shade rather than overnight sleeping — this is not a vessel built for multi-night charters. It suits smaller parties who want a fast, uncomplicated day on the water: couples, small groups of friends, or a family outing where getting to the water quickly matters as much as where you end up. Departures are arranged from the Saint-Tropez base, with timing built around a half-day or full-day format.
