We purchased this particular yacht due to the wide open spaces that this vessel affords the passengers. The climate controlled bridge that is enclosed provides the yacht with a very comfortable second salon. In our experienced opinion the Riviera 70 Enclosed Flybridge is the best vessel of its caliber and class. We do like this vessel for both shallow vessel sailing as well as deep sea sailing. Some of the vacations have been across the seas and have been quite comfortable according to the clients. They are very pleased with this yacht.
