About this tender
The Riva 76' Bahamas Super is a 23.3m chase boat from Riva, built in Sarnico, Italy: twin 1,800hp shaft, 37 knots, 16 guests and 320nm of range.
The Riva 76' Bahamas Super is the build we point owners towards when the programme calls for a 23.32m open that can carry sixteen people at genuine pace without asking them to choose between cockpit volume and below-deck comfort. It sits in Riva's Open range as the largest model in that category, and the restyled layout reflects a deliberate effort to close the gap between day-boat practicality and short-passage liveability. Three guest cabins plus a crew cabin give the boat an overnight capability that the average open at this length simply does not offer.
Two engine options sit on the same hull: the MAN V12 1550 at 1,550 hp per side, good for 32 knots top and 28 knots on passage; or the MAN V12 1800 at 1,800 hp per side, which adds five knots to both figures and pushes the top speed to 37 knots. Range at cruising speed is quoted at 320 nm on both variants, which is credible given the 5,600-litre fuel capacity. The hull is GRP throughout, with an unladen displacement of 49,500 kg - a meaningful number that tells you how seriously Riva has engineered the structure for a boat of this beam and length.
We would put the 76' Bahamas Super alongside the larger Italian open-style motor yachts from Ferretti and Azimut, rather than against the sport-cruiser class. The distinction matters for buyers who want the open-air experience but need the boat to function as a self-contained vessel on multi-day runs. The restyling referenced by Riva focuses on new storage geometry and revised deck volumes - details that a programme manager will appreciate when the boat is running independently of a mothership.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
The 76' Bahamas Super is available with twin MAN V12 1550 engines producing 1,550 hp each, or twin MAN V12 1800 units at 1,800 hp each. The upper option lifts top speed from 32 to 37 knots and cruising speed from 28 to 32 knots, while quoted range at cruising speed holds at 320 nm on both variants.
The below-deck arrangement delivers three guest cabins and a dedicated crew cabin on a GRP hull that is 23.32m LOA and 5.68m beam. That layout is uncommon in the open category at this length and gives the boat genuine multi-day autonomy without dependence on a support vessel.
A 5,600-litre fuel tank supports the 320 nm range figure at cruising speed regardless of which engine variant is fitted. For a programme running coastal passages between ports, this reduces the frequency of bunkering calls considerably compared with shorter open-format platforms.
The manufacturer certifies sixteen people on board, which makes the 76' Bahamas Super viable as a day-charter or large-party transfer platform operating from a mothership, as well as a standalone owner's vessel.
