Why Charter the 72′ Riva in Miami?
The 72 Riva is an Italian-built motor yacht — Riva has crafted performance vessels in Bergamo since 1842, and the difference shows in the hull lines, interior joinery, and the way she handles at speed on Biscayne Bay. The low, aggressive profile turns heads on the Star Island corridor and at Miami Beach Marina in a way that most 70-foot motor yachts do not. Day charters on the 72 Riva include a USCG-licensed captain, professional mate, water, sodas, ice, and fuel for all local Miami cruising — no fuel surcharge at the end. Charters depart from Miami Beach Marina (300 Alton Rd) for half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) formats, both all-in priced from $3,500.
The standard 72 Riva day charter route covers Government Cut for cruise ship views, the Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island celebrity home cruise narrated by your captain, a sandbar anchor stop at Nixon’s Sandbar in Key Biscayne for swimming in 2 to 4 feet of clear bay water, and a downtown Miami skyline sunset return as the city lights come on. With 1,453 gallons of fuel capacity, the Riva is Bahamas-capable — Bimini in under 3 hours (50 nautical miles), Nassau in a full-day passage (119 nautical miles). Multi-day term charters to Bimini, Nassau, the Exumas, and the Florida Keys are available. Contact us to build your custom itinerary.
