Best of the Best 2016: Yachts | Up to 100 Feet: Riva 76 Perseo

riva-76

More than 131 square feet of tinted glass—including a gradually raked windshield and expansive windows in the hull—allows sunlight to fill the 76 Perseo’s main-deck saloon and the full-beam (over 18 feet) master suite below deck. With minimal lateral supports interrupting the surrounding glass panels, the space has the feel of a solarium. Outside you’ll find a variety of spots for socializing, including sunbeds and lounges at the bow and on the bridge, a dining area behind the saloon, and a swim platform at the stern that can be lowered into the water.

  • The 76 Perseo’s accommodations include two staterooms below deck in addition to the master suite. 
  • A boat measuring nearly 11 feet can be stowed in the yacht’s tender garage. 
  • The standard engine package enables the yacht to reach 32 knots and cruise at 28 knots. An optional package increases the top speed to 37 knots and the cruising speed to 32 knots.
