Riva 88' Domino Super (2015 - 2019) 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 88' Domino Super delivers speeds of up to 40 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Riva 88' Domino Super offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Azimut 27M have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 10 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 88' Domino Super benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table is a standout. The Wajer Wajer 77 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 6 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Riva 88' Domino Super holds its own at a respectable 35 knots and a maximum speed of 40 knots. However, the Pershing 9X surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 38 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Azimut 27M, with the slowest cruising speed of 26 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 86 impresses with its extensive range of 1,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Pershing 9X allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 9X is especially impressive, with a top speed of 42 knots and cruising speed of 38 knots. The Azimut S10 has an impressive gross tonnage of 155GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riva 88' Domino Super 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.
