Riva 76' Perseo Super 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 76' Perseo Super delivers speeds of up to 37 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Riva 76' Perseo Super which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Princess S72 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 76' Perseo Super features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Azimut 77S and Princess S78 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 9 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Riva 76' Perseo Super delivers a steady 32 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pershing 8X with an impressive cruising speed of 41 knots. The Riva 76' Perseo Super 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 Azimut S8, with the slowest cruising speed of 28 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 74 impresses with its extensive range of 1,028 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Pershing 8X allows it 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 Pershing 8X has an impressive gross tonnage of 96GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riva 76' Perseo 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Riva Sportfly range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 7 competing models.
