Riviera 78 Motor Yacht Enclosed Bridge Deck 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 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck delivers speeds of up to 7 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Sunseeker Ocean 156 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 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout. The Horizon E81 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 Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 7 knots and a top speed of 7 knots. The Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Viking Yachts 75 which has an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots powered by its twin 1,550hp MAN V12-1550 engines and can reach a top speed of 35 knots. This is closely followed by the Monte Carlo Yachts MCY 76 Skylounge with a notable cruising speed of 24 knots and top speed of 30 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Horizon V80 impresses with its extensive range of 962 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Maritimo M75, Horizon E90, Astondoa Ax8 and Viking Yachts 82 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Viking Yachts 75 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 35 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riviera 78 Motor Yacht Enclosed Bridge Deck 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.
