The flagship of the open line
The 76' Bahamas Super crowns Riva's open range at just over twenty three metres, the biggest boat in the fleet still classed as an open. It shares its hull platform with the coupe styled 76' Perseo Super, offering the same length in a more open, sun drenched form. The Super badge brings updated styling, fresh detailing and a strong choice of MAN power. This is the open Riva for owners who want scale without moving to a flybridge.
Officina Italiana Design shaped the boat with the Ferretti Group engineering department and the strategic product committee led by Piero Ferrari. First shown to the press in 2022, it carries the modern design language that now runs through the whole fleet. It gives the open line a genuine flagship, a yacht for serious entertaining on deck. For many owners it is the natural step up from a smaller open cruiser.
A hood that changes everything
The Bahamas Super's headline feature is a rising carbon hood that transforms the boat at the press of a button. Left down, the yacht is a pure open, all sky and sun from the bow to the transom. Raised, the hood covers the forward cockpit and shelters the helm from harsh sun or a passing squall, turning the boat into a coupe. Owners effectively choose their yacht to suit the day and the weather.
The profile stays low and muscular, with long hull windows and a taut bow that mark out the current fleet. A fold down beach area aft brings guests to the waterline for swimming and lounging. The foredeck holds a sociable lounge and sunpads for anchoring in a quiet cove. Whether open or covered, the Bahamas Super looks every inch a big Riva.
The largest open Riva, a rising carbon hood turns it from sportscruiser to coupe.
Space below for the whole party
Below decks the twenty three metre hull gives room for three or four cabins, letting the boat sleep a family or a group of friends across a cruising week. A full beam owner's suite can be specified low in the hull where the beam and the calm are greatest. Deep hull glazing floods the accommodation with light. The layout keeps guests comfortable and the owners private.
The interior carries the marque's hallmark finish, with hand laid wood, polished metal and soft leather throughout. The galley and saloon are sized for real cruising, not a token night away. Storage is generous for a boat meant to spend weeks aboard. Down below it feels every bit the flagship the open line deserves.
MAN muscle and a Riviera cruise
The Bahamas Super is driven by twin MAN V12 diesels, offered at 1550 or 1,800 hp a side. In standard trim it cruises near 28 knots and tops out around 32, while the larger engines lift those figures to roughly 32 and 37. The hull carries its length with the poise expected of a big open Riva. It has the pace to reach the next island before the anchorage fills.
Naval architecture came from the Ferretti Group engineering department, bringing modern systems and a clean helm to a boat of real size. Range suits extended coastal cruising, the life this yacht was built for. It handles with a big boat's calm while keeping the open thrill alive at the wheel. That blend of scale and spirit is why the boat exists.
Who it is for
The 76' Bahamas Super suits the owner who wants the largest open Riva, a yacht for serious entertaining on deck with the shelter of a coupe on demand. It rewards buyers who cruise a full coast in summer and want cabins for a party without stepping to a flybridge. Those who love sun and open air but hate being caught out by weather will value the hood.
It is less suited to owners set on a raised flybridge helm or a formal enclosed saloon, since its character is open at heart. For a big, sociable, sun loving cruise it is the flagship of its kind. As the top of the open range it gives owners scale with the sky still overhead.
