It’s also affected the bridge, which is designed almost entirely in the “dome” of tempered glass. In addition, on each side of the housing integrated “seamless” glass strip windows with opening porthole.
Impressive and there are a range of original engineering solutions. The yacht was built in accordance with modern environmental requirements, but demonstrates a simply outstanding high-speed data. Two diesel engines MTU issue to 3510 liters. p. each and cruise speeds up to 26 knots 122 Mythos will be held over 400 miles.

The total width of the body 122 Mythos is 7.60 m, and most obviously, it feels at once spacious cockpit – in fact we are talking about the standards of megayachts. Outdoor lounge complemented by a rectangular table in polished steel and wood. High bulwarks provide security even after planing, although the outstanding performance characteristics of leaves only the possibility to hold your breath and enjoy the freshness of the sea.
An interesting feature of the cabin on the main deck is the glazing. In assessing the exterior windows looking forward to the unique shape and inside, but are charmed by the proportional rectangular section, fits perfectly into the overall concept of the modern interior. Thanks to the glass doors separating the inner area of the cockpit, not broken integrity of deck space, and in the daytime salon does not require artificial lighting.
As for the interior layout, it is designed to trifles, though, and reflects modern minimalism. Materials such as wood, chrome steel, glass and leather, formed the basis of the interior. Coffee tables, rugs, lamps and many other items designed exclusively known design companies. With built-in walls and ceiling multimedia systems, laid-back holiday in the area with sofas turns into a movie or game room. If dinner on the cockpit for some reason inconvenient, the salon serves a large glass table. By the way, on the main deck designed kitchen, the design of which, together with integrated appliances correspond to the general style of the new boats.
Important feature of the new 122 Mythos looks bridge passed to an intermediate level between the main deck and sandekom. Control room set up almost entirely of glass and dark composite.

The second and third options suggest a slight reduction in the area of the master cabin and divergent combinations guest rooms: two cabins on both sides and one VIP wide body, or just two cabins on each side. All cabins can be made out on the basis of individual vision of the owner: the type of wood or fabrics, colors, additional electronics and so on.
On an individual project, the first body 122 Mythos created with 3 cabins. Master cabin width from side to side fully reflect the exclusive style of Riva, in which natural wood combined with brown leather brand «Africa» and chrome detailing of steel. On each side are not only windows, but also to open the windows. On the contrary a large double bed originally proposed rectangular furniture unit with TV panel 46 “, which automatically slides out of a special unit. Also on the starboard side organized a small lounge, and from the left – an open office with a desk.

It is made of high quality plastic material, not only a pleasant tactile, but also has a high level of water resistance. In addition to rest, sandek may be another area of management – a navigation bar with touch screen provides maximum control over the boat and out of operation can be completely hidden in a special sealed box. From the standpoint of design sandek, even despite the radar, almost merges with the overall design of the superstructure and does not affect the sports profile.

This is a project in the modern corporate style of the shipyard, but with a new level of security, performance and seaworthiness cruise range. Moreover, the premier yacht with a body made of aluminum will be only the first step in the new strategy, because the shipyard has already announced future lineup of exclusive mega-yachts made of steel.
