Riva 88 Folgore for Sale: Price, Specs and Buying Guide

Riva 88 Folgore price in 2026

Start from the two real data points we have: asking prices from around $7.25M, and a reported average near $7.6M. Everything above that, up to the $8.9M top of our quoted range, reflects the scarcity of newer and better-optioned hulls rather than a confirmed transaction, so treat it as an estimate to verify, not a benchmark to negotiate against.

What actually moves price on a boat this thin on supply: MTU engine hours and whether Corporate Care-style warranty coverage is transferable, and the condition of the Officina Italiana Design interior, which is expensive to restore once it shows wear.

Running costs for a Riva 88 Folgore

Industry rule of thumb across the yachts we track is annual running costs of roughly 10% of purchase value. On a $7-9M flagship that is a serious number before you even count the above-average crew, insurance and berthing costs a boat like this tends to carry.

The Folgore's 340nm range is modest for its size, which means it is often run hard at anchor rather than covering long distances. Generator hours and air-conditioning capacity matter as much to your running-cost picture as fuel does.

What the Folgore survey must check

High-spec finishes and high-output engines both show wear distinctly, so a survey here needs to look past cosmetics as much as through them.

• MTU 16V 2000 engine hours and service or warranty (Corporate Care-style) status
• Carbon-fiber and GRP superstructure condition, and gelcoat UV wear
• Generator hours and air-conditioning capacity, given the modest 340nm range that keeps this yacht running hard at anchor
• Osmosis and blister survey below the waterline
• Officina Italiana Design interior and upholstery condition
• Trim-tab, running-gear and shaft or prop condition given the 36-38kt top-speed use profile

Who a Riva 88 Folgore suits in the Gulf

This suits a buyer for whom styling and brand carry real weight against pure range or fuel efficiency, most often a Saudi or Qatari owner adding a flagship to an existing fleet rather than a first-time buyer. If speed matters more than styling to you, our Pershing 8X page covers the other Ferretti Group flagship, same MTU engines, faster and less overtly styled. For a more conventional flybridge from the same group, see the Ferretti 850.

Warranty work and major refits on a Folgore typically route through Dubai's specialist yards regardless of where the boat is based in the Gulf, so factor that logistics chain into your ownership plan; see yacht service in the Gulf for what that involves.
