i think RIVA yachts has its flair but obviously they are more expensive than its peers. I just want to know whether RIVA is a reliable boat so i dont have to worry too much about maintainence since this will be my first purchase. Another question, is this a friendly boat for family considering i can afford 40 footer? I feel like it is more of a sports boat rather than a cruiser. I can opt for Azimut since i think they are more suitable for family use.
I am not that familiar with Riva or Azimut. For a "first time" buyer my thoughts would go in a different direction.
