Agree 100%
Music, conversation and snacks at 28,5 knots with 5 feet waves? well....good for you :-). Usually when I do long transfer (6/8 hours) no one want...
Well...I forgot to add something....you do not need extra titles for long range cruises, you need a lot of experience. And experience is something...
Agree 1000%. What I usually do is to cruise for 3-4 hours starting early morning, then stopping for refilling, having a swim and lunch, and then...
I can agree about the solidity of such a boat.....but it is a mistake to measure deadrise at midship, and deadrise 20° at transom is not a deep...
Well.....reviews are usually made by someone (magazine or web ) who is getting money from the yards as advertising. You will never (or super...
Honestly saying, a boat range should be minimum 350 nautical miles, 400 even better. It seems that yards do not understand that. Then the range...
Well......fiberglass is thin, everything on board from gas springs to forniture is low quality, it is a cheap boat which has a reason to be cheap....
Agree, Rivarama runs much worse than an Itama on rough sea. Honestly I do not know what they used as extra soundproofing, I only know they made a...

Beneteau is poorly made, you always get what you pay for.....One is a boat which fall apart after very few years, the other one is a boat that...

Sorry but I fully disagree. I have tons of friends with Riva, also big ones, and they have tons of issues. And why you say Rivarama is not...
Yes, my boat was at Genoa show as demo for seakeeper. Hull is painted with DuPont, in case of small scratches much easier to fix than Awalgrip....
I have nothing against Riva....the design is fantastic, what I said is that the quality is no more the same since Ferretti was sold (they were...
If your goals are that speeds, then trawler alike is a good choice. No one of them has a Deep V, they are all around 12/14 ° at stern. Only...
And yes, after fighting 2 years to solve all the issues I can proudly say my Itama 45 is probably the only one on the market properly working :...
Ferretti already killed 2 legends : Bertram and Itama, and it is killing Riva as well. The only reason they are selling Riva well is because of...
The 45 S is exactly the same boat as the 45, with bigger engines (550 hp instead of 480), more or less same speed (34 instead of 33 maximum), much...
Unfortunately this is what you get when you buy something made by Ferretti :-)
