Pershing 70 (2014 - 2020) 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 70 delivers speeds of up to 46 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Pershing 70 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. The 70 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Riva 63' Virtus and Riva 66' Ribelle, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Pershing 70 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 40 knots thanks to its twin 1,600hp MTU 10V 2000 M96L engines and maximum speed of 46 knots at 2,450rpm. Closely followed by, the Riva 63' Virtus with a respectable cruising speed of 35 knots. The Riva 66' Ribelle also impresses with a cruising speed of 33 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Sunseeker 68 MKII, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 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 68 MKII impresses with its extensive range of 330 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sunseeker 68 MKII and Riva 63' Virtus all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Riva 63' Virtus is especially impressive, with a top speed of 40 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.
