Riviera 68 Sports Motor Yacht (Mk1, 2017 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Riviera 68 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 11 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Azimut 72 and Absolute 72 FLY, share the same 11 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 68 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a sofa is a standout. The Gulf Craft 75, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Palm Beach PB70 impresses with its extensive range of 1,438 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Palm Beach PB70 and Gulf Craft 75 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Palm Beach PB70 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 32 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riviera 68 Sports Motor Yacht 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.
