Riva 112 DolceVita Super Rivals

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Riva 112 DolceVita Super which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft Majesty 111 and Arcadia A115 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 112 DolceVita Super features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Riva 110' Dolcevita and Custom Line 106 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Riva 112 DolceVita Super leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 23 knots thanks to its twin 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and maximum speed of 25 knots at 2,450rpm. Closely followed by, the Mangusta 33 with a respectable cruising speed of 23 knots. The Custom Line 106 also impresses with a cruising speed of 23 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Benetti 34M, with the slowest cruising speed of 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 Ocean Alexander 35P impresses with its extensive range of 3,252 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft Majesty 111, Sanlorenzo SX112 and Mangusta 33 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Mangusta 33 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 26 knots and cruising speed of 23 knots. The Ocean Alexander 35P has an impressive gross tonnage of 273GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riva 112 DolceVita 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.
