Cannes, 13 September 2016 - Yet another  award ìs added to an already glìtterìng lìst of awards, yet another yacht ìs setto expand the gallery of successes achìeved by Riva, a nautical legend for over 170 years.
At its world  debut  at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2016, 76'  Bahamas, the  new  model  built  at the FerrettiGroup's shipyard in La Spezia,  won the "World Yachts Trophies" award for "Best Exterior Design" in the 50 to 80 foot range category.

The new convertible yacht has been created on the same hull platform of the 76' Perseo coupe,  and ìs fitted with the renowned "Convertible  Top" system, the exclusive Ferretti Group  patent first featured  on the 88' Florida.
Joining the two best sef/ers, launched  in September last year and both  winners of the "World Yachts Trophies" 2015, ìs now the 76' Bahamas, with  a recognitìon that confirms  the posìtìon achieved by Riva in recent years as a leader of innovation.
The 76' Bahamas - product  of collaboratìon between  Officina Italiana Design, the Ferretti Group's Product Strategy Committee and its Engineering Department - combìnes  the  two  souls of the open and coupe versions into a single model, offering a yacht of irresistible beauty featuring cutting-edge technology solutions.
