Riva 66' Ribelle Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 66' Ribelle has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Exterior Design (18.5-24m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 66' Ribelle delivers speeds of up to 37 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Riva 66' Ribelle offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Princess S65 and Cranchi Sessantasette 67 Corsa have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 66' Ribelle benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a sofa is a standout. The Bluegame BG62 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Riva 66' Ribelle delivers a steady 33 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pershing 7X with an impressive cruising speed of 42 knots or the Pershing 70 with a respectable cruising speed of 40 knots. The Riva 66' Ribelle 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 Galeon 650, with the slowest cruising speed of 21 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 65 impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 650 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 7X is especially impressive, with a top speed of 50 knots and cruising speed of 42 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riva 66' Ribelle 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.
