Riva 88' Florida 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' Florida delivers speeds of up to 40 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Riva 88' Florida offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Sunseeker 84 and Riva 88' Domino Super, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 88' Florida benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Wajer Wajer 77, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Riva 88' Florida delivers a steady 35 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pershing 8X with an impressive cruising speed of 41 knots or the Itama 75 with a respectable cruising speed of 38 knots. The Riva 88' Florida 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 Extra Yachts X90 Fast, 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 Extra Yachts X90 Fast impresses with its extensive range of 1,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sanlorenzo SP92 and Pershing 8X all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 8X is especially impressive, with a top speed of 48 knots and cruising speed of 41 knots. The Sanlorenzo SP92 has an impressive gross tonnage of 199GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riva 88' Florida 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.
