Riva 76' Bahamas (2015 - 2022) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 76' Bahamas delivers speeds of up to 37 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Riva 76' Bahamas which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Princess S72 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 76' Bahamas features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom. Equivalently, the Pershing 74 and Sunseeker Predator 74 XPS also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 7 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Riva 76' Bahamas delivers a steady 32 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pershing 82 with an impressive cruising speed of 42 knots or the Pershing 74 with a respectable cruising speed of 40 knots. The Riva 76' Bahamas emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Princess S72, with the slowest cruising speed of 34 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sunseeker 74 impresses with its extensive range of 1,028 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Pershing 74 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 82 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 50 knots and cruising speed of 42 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riva 76' Bahamas stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
