I assume you've already looked at the Apreamare Maestro 82 as its part of the Ferretti Group? The design might not appeal to everyone and it's not exactly a 'sporty yacht', but when it comes to indoor and outdoor comfort, it's above average!
Of course, in the end it is your decision!
A Riva makes a statement just by saying the name.
Pershing = Speed
Azimut = Largest. If you plan on spending a large amount of time on the yacht you cannot compromise on size. I've spent 5 days on a 60ft yacht with 3 other people and we did get on each others nerves.
Good Luck making your decision though!

I am planning to spend whole summers on the yacht with friends and family, that's why I added the Azimut on the list, actually I do not think it can be the rival of Pershing or Riva in terms of quality. But it is the largest one

I wouldn't even consider an Azimut. They are not built well at all. Pershing's are much much better boats. They handle better, can take a rough sea better, and they are faster. The Azimut will be cheaper, and you get a bigger boat for the money. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Riva's are way too overpriced, if you can get a deal on one, then the are pretty good boats. If I were you, I would seriously consider going with a 24M Leopard, or an 80 Mangusta. You can find used 80 Mangusta's for a relatively decent price. They are excellent boats, and no two are alike, unlike the Azimuts, Pershings, and Riva's.
Def take a look at the leopard and mangusta from Rodriguez Group. If you want, I can put you in touch with someone there. I know those guys pretty well.

Have you considered Sunseeker ? They do some rather nice Predator's.
Sunseeker - Performance Motoryachts - Predator 84
I think the interior of the 84 is lovely !

The problem with Sunseekers is that they are built poorly, especially in the electrical department. Besides the fact that they don't age too well. The main thing I don't like about Sunseekers/Azimuts is that they all look the same inside. The great thing about rodriguez group products is that no two are alike.

Hernando, thanks a lot for your advices. I agree Mangusta is one step behind from these yachts I've listed, but I would like to buy a new yacht rather than a used one so its a little bit out of my price range. But if the correct one comes, than I would of course think about it. I liked the style of leopard 24, I need to see one in person for having a better opinion
And I am not thinking about the Sunseekers I gotta say They look a little cheap next to pershing or riva.
