A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck serves as a sophisticated open-air salon, perfectly poised for morning coffee or evening aperitifs. Here, the gentle sea breeze mingles with the aroma of the day's culinary creations. Plush seating invites relaxation, offering uninterrupted views of the passing coastline, while an overhead canopy provides welcome shade during the midday sun. It is a space designed for intimate conversations and shared moments, where every vista becomes a living canvas.
Foredeck Sun Sanctuary
Forward, expansive sun pads beckon, offering a private haven for sun worshippers. Stretch out on the cushioned comfort, feeling the warmth of the Mediterranean sun on your skin as the yacht glides effortlessly through the water. This is an ideal spot for quiet contemplation, a captivating read, or simply observing the endless expanse of the azure sea. An outdoor shower nearby provides a refreshing rinse after a sun-kissed afternoon.
Saloon Serenity
Descend into the main saloon, where Riva's signature elegance is immediately apparent. Rich, polished woods and sumptuous leathers create an atmosphere of refined comfort. The indoor audio system fills the space with your chosen soundtrack, while large windows ensure a constant connection to the outside world. This air-conditioned retreat offers a cool respite from the midday heat, perfect for an afternoon film or lively conversation.
Integrated Swim Platform
At the stern, the integrated bathing platform offers effortless access to the sparkling Mediterranean. This expansive area transforms into your private beach club, perfect for launching paddles or simply dipping your toes in the cool, clear water. The platform provides a secure and comfortable space for boarding the tender or enjoying a refreshing swim, making every aquatic adventure seamless and inviting.
Bridge Deck Views
Ascend to the upper deck, where the helm station offers commanding views of the horizon. Adjacent to this, comfortable seating allows guests to observe the captain's skillful navigation, feeling the thrill of the yacht's impressive speed. It's a prime vantage point for spotting distant islands or simply appreciating the vastness of the sea, often accompanied by the exhilarating rush of the wind.
Accommodation
SPARTA accommodates six guests across three impeccably appointed cabins. The primary cabin, a sanctuary of peace forward, boasts a comfortable double berth and a dedicated television, offering a private space for unwinding. Two additional guest cabins provide equally comfortable arrangements, ensuring privacy and repose for all on board. Each cabin is a testament to Riva's meticulous craftsmanship, featuring exquisite finishes and ample storage, creating a tranquil retreat after a day of Mediterranean exploration. The layout is thoughtfully designed for comfort and intimacy.
Culinary experiences on board SPARTA are crafted to delight. While no dedicated chef is mentioned, the crew will arrange for provisioning with the finest local ingredients as per guest preference, allowing for simple, delicious meals prepared in the yacht's galley. Meals can be savoured al fresco on the aft deck, where the sea breeze enhances every flavour, or in the comfortable saloon. Enjoy freshly brewed coffee from the onboard machine each morning, setting the tone for leisurely days at sea.
While SPARTA focuses on the thrill of the open water and the relaxation of sun-drenched decks, the pervasive sense of calm and freedom contributes significantly to guest wellness. The outdoor shower provides a refreshing invigoration, while the expansive sun pads on the foredeck invite quiet contemplation and restorative sunbathing. The invigorating sea air and the gentle motion of the yacht itself offer a natural form of rejuvenation, far removed from the everyday.
For those seeking active engagement with the water, SPARTA carries a paddleboard, perfect for exploring tranquil coves or enjoying a gentle glide across the calm morning sea. The tender garage ensures easy deployment and retrieval of this fun accessory, while the integrated bathing platform provides a stable launching point. The West Mediterranean's crystalline waters offer an idyllic playground for these simple, yet rewarding, on-water activities.

What a yacht like SPARTA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SPARTA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 21m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
