Charles Leclerc's Riva 102′ Corsaro Super launched in La Spezia
The Formula 1 driver has once again chosen a Riva after the previous Diva 82′. The chosen model, the 20th in the series, reaches a top speed of 28 knots.
Today, May 7, 2026, Riva celebrated the launch of the 20th Riva 102' Corsaro Super at the La Spezia shipyard. The ceremony was attended by Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, who has once again chosen the Riva brand after previously owning an 82' Diva.
The 102' Corsaro Super represents the contemporary evolution of the 100' Corsaro and is the result of a collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the Product Strategy Committee, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. The design is characterized by a sleek and dynamic profile, with large glazed surfaces that promote visual continuity between the interior and exterior spaces.
The exterior, the shipyard explains in a statement, was customized by the owner, who chose Minotti furnishings accented with decorative Jim Thompson cushions. The flybridge features a custom wet bar complete with grill, induction hob, two refrigerators, and an ice maker, while the aft beach club area, spanning over 35 square meters, is completed by an inflatable platform for water toys, complete with a custom ladder and ramp.
The interiors have been customized with Poliform furnishings and bespoke details personally selected by Leclerc, such as the door handles, and are equipped with Bang & Olufsen multimedia systems integrated into the main salon and the owner's suite. Textile details such as linens and towels are by Frette, while the furnishings and tableware were selected from the Christofle collections to reflect the pilot's personal taste. Polished Calacatta Vagli Oro marble was chosen for the owner's bathroom, while Calacatta Greige Corian was used for the other bathrooms.
On the engineering front, the vessel is equipped with two MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, each delivering 2.638 HP, which deliver a top speed of 28 knots and a cruising speed of 24 knots. Cruising comfort and reduced roll are ensured by a stabilization system that includes Hydrotab interceptor trim tabs, Sleipner Vector Fins, and Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilizers.
"Charles' passion for Riva, obviously reciprocated, is a testament to quality and beauty that we welcome with infinite joy. If a formidable pilot, a master of style and elegance, chooses one of our boats once again, it means that Riva, and in this case the magnificent 102' Corsaro Super, offers unsurpassed standards of aesthetic splendor, livability, and technology. Thanks again, Charles, have fun and enjoy the seas with your new Riva!" commented Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group.
