Riviera 4400 vs Formula 45 vs Marquis 40SC

[Boatik]

All three come with the same Volvo IPS600 engines.

All three pretty much same price around 500k

Which one should I go for?

definitly the Riviera 4400 Sport Yacht
I helmed the boat and is a good rider too
you saw the finishing of the Riviera in the engine room is perfect too
that boat is IMO close to perfection
of this list I think the Formula might ride a bit better though, but then in comfort and accommodation is short of the Riv
you can also consider european builds Azimut 43S and Fairline 44 Targa GT IMO, still but none beats the Riviera
IMO don't forget to add the hi low bathing platform option

Thanks for your reply. I'm also leaning more towards the Riviera. I sea trialed all 3 boats. The Formula toped out at about 29 knots while Riviera at 32. I also sea trialed the 40SC which was the fastest at 35knots top end. I think Riviera has alot more room and another head on the Marquis as well as the platform. I did like the formula 45 because it came with so much electronics preloaded for the money such as twin e120, kvh sat, autopiolot, radar.

It's a tough choice.

I would forget the electronics personally
you always can after factory fit this stuff, go for the boat which tixes the most boxes for you
in Malta with 27 degrees celius water and 30 air temperature I did 33.7 knots with the Riviera, and the agent told me they did peak 35 knots with cleaner bottom, this boat was actually three months in the water with no gear protection, and factory done antifouling

Might look at the Tiara in that size range also.

compliments for the choice Boatik
would be nice to have some pictures posted here for your new baby, I know for sure that the engine room of the 4400 Sport Yacht is very neat and a marvel to work on
