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

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Riviera 78 Open Bridge Deck offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Horizon E81 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 12 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 78 Open Bridge Deck benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and full-standing headroom is a standout. The Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 25M is tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 3 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Riviera 78 Open 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 Open 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 Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 25M which has an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots powered by its 3 x 900hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1200 engines and can reach a top speed of 34 knots. This is closely followed by the Princess Y80 with a notable cruising speed of 25 knots and top speed of 32 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Horizon E81 impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the CL Yachts CLB72 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Ferretti Yachts 780 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 27 knots. Meanwhile, the Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 25M offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 34 knots. The Hampton Yachts Hampton Euro 830 has an impressive gross tonnage of 119GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riviera 78 Motor Yacht Open 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.
