WEGU THE GREAT is an elegant Dolceriva cruiser with only 82 engine hours, iconic Riva lines, a factory hardtop with electric sunroof, and an entertainer’s cockpit flowing to a hydraulic swim platform. Joystick docking makes arrivals effortless, while premium finishes and a climate-controlled cabin (sleeping up to four guests) elevate every outing.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13-1000s (2,000 hp total), WEGU THE GREAT sprints to ~40 knots and comfortably cruises ~35 knots, with a deep-V planing GRP hull that’s agile, dry, and confidence-inspiring. She delivers a thrilling ride, gliding effortlessly across the water while offering impeccable handling and stability. Her streamlined profile, silver hull, and richly finished teak decking reflect Riva’s unmistakable style.

She features an open layout with ample sunbathing space, a sophisticated alfresco dining area, and a beautifully arranged cockpit where guests can relax in comfort. Below deck, the cabin’s two overnight accommodations and enclosed head make her ideal for quick weekend escapes as well as longer coastal adventures.
