aerodynamic design is manifested in sleek lines and clean shapes, accentuated by the choice to resize the height of the
hull’s topsides, to the benefit of the yacht’s overall sporty character.

Group’s exclusive patent presented for the first time on 88′ Florida. 76’ Bahamas has the DNA of a modern Riva: a synthesis
of tradition and innovation, elegance and performance. The Mediterranean style of the interior offers also an unforgettable
yachting experience.
