Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 86 Domino has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Design (24-50m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 86 Domino delivers speeds of up to 38 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Riva 86 Domino offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Sunseeker 84 and Sunseeker 82, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 86 Domino benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout.
