Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the 72'byRIVA YACHTfor family cruising in the Med or Caribbean, with standard two-stateroom (master aft, VIP forward) or optional three-stateroom arrangements; in the latter, six guests are comfortably accommodated. It is also visible on the regional charter market, and many owner-operators bring along one or two crew for longer passages, making use of the small crew cabin adjacent to the engineroom. On board, the high-end finish stands out: teak decks, elm cabinetry, and upscale joinery, with a salon dinette for 6–8 under coachroof skylights. The aft deck is generous with a sunpad over the tender garage, and the galley is set up practically for passagemaking with sea-rails and positive-latch refrigeration.

Underway, reviewers call the handling very responsive to the helm and rudders with strong acceleration, and typical cruising sits in the high 20s to low 30s knots, with trials around 35–36 knots at the top end. The ride is generally dry with little spray, though in choppy seas the moderate deadrise (about 14.7°) brings a firmer, “sport suspension” feel. A slight V-drive gear whine has been noted near the crew and adjacent cabins, and refits and engine overhauls are commonly referenced on resale. Power packages vary across boats (e.g., MAN or MTU), so service routines differ, and there are anecdotal reports of sizable warranty or repair bills on some hulls.

Pros and Cons

• Very responsive handling and strong acceleration underway.
• Suits family cruising with up to three staterooms and berths for six guests.
• High-end finish with teak decks, elm cabinetry, and a bright salon with skylights.
• Ride can feel firm in choppy seas due to moderate deadrise.
• A slight V-drive gear whine may be audible in crew/adjacent cabins.
• Upkeep can be significant, with refits common and anecdotal high repair costs on some boats.
