Riviera premieres three Sports Motor Yachts at Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival

Three magnificent new Riviera Sports Motor Yachts will be showcased together in an Australian premiere at the Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival, 2020.

This outstanding Sports Motor Yacht collection will be among six Riviera models displayed at Sanctuary Cove. They will be joined by the stylish 6000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, her sistership 5400 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition and the adventurous 575 SUV.

All Riviera Sports Motor Yachts take blue-water pleasure to a new level and share the key design principles of superior engineering, exhilarating sports performance, walkaround side decks, a versatile water sports cockpit and an all-weather alfresco deck. The 72 and 64 have an additional utility room that can be optioned as crew quarters.

The Sports Motor Yachts utilise Riviera’s state-of-the-art engineering design that provides quiet, smooth and effortless acceleration, and efficient cruising.

Riviera 72 Sports Motor Yacht - Epitome of sumptuous comfort

The latest 72 Sports Motor Yacht introduces a suite of refinements that give greater range and speed, complemented by enhanced guest and crew accommodation. 

From the four-sided flybridge ‘sky lounge’ – with its own separate deck – and the deck overlooking the cockpit to the spacious saloon with fine-leather lounge, the 72 is the epitome of comfort. Her distinctive sweeping hull window introduces superb vistas, natural light and fresh sea air to the accommodation deck, which provides a generous four-stateroom design with a full-beam master suite. 

The large foredeck, which accommodates an optional davit and tender, converts into a large entertaining area. A side door gives convenient access from the saloon to the port side deck and foredeck.

The 72 is powered by twin 2000hp (1,471 kW) shaft drive MAN V12 diesels delivering a top speed over 34 knots. This power is a perfect partner for the soft-riding and efficient hull design from world-leading superyacht architect Frank Mulder.

Riviera 64 Sports Motor Yacht – Elegant and ultra-luxurious 

The elegant and ultra-luxurious Riviera 64 SMY optimises onboard space and offers superior amenity and functionality from bow to stern.

The 64 SMY has four staterooms including a full-beam master, three bathrooms, a large covered deck that expands the saloon deck by 50 per cent, a superbly appointed enclosed flybridge, and a versatile foredeck with plenty of room to either relax and entertain or to accommodate a large tender. 

The 64 SMY delivers quiet, smooth and effortless acceleration, and a top speed over 34 knots, powered by the choice of twin MAN turbo V8 (1300hp/956kW) or V12 (1550hp/1140kW) diesels.

Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht –  Spectacularly versatile

The 50 SMY is a spectacular yacht, offering a host of unique features. Among the key design elements is a foredeck where the tender storage makes way for a generous sunlounge and relaxation zone.

A wonderful place to relax on the 50 SMY is the fully covered alfresco deck with day lounges either side. Another of the five distinct living zones, the saloon has two opposing lounge areas that can seat six to eight guests in total comfort.

The 50 SMY also boasts a three-sided glass-enclosed flybridge, and a full-beam master stateroom as the centrepiece of a three-stateroom, twin-bathroom accommodation design.

There is a choice of two efficient power and drive options – twin diesel Volvo Penta IPS 950 (533kW/725HP) or twin diesel shaft-drive MAN i6-800 (588kW/800HP).

Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst said all Sports Motor Yachts share design expertise and a deep level of refinement that places them in a league of their own.

“Our team is proud to present three exceptional models from our Sports Motor Yacht collection, especially two of our premieres, in one location at the Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival in November,” said Mr Longhurst.

“The Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival is a prime opportunity for boating enthusiasts to step aboard six magnificent Riviera motor yachts from across our 21-model range that each represent Riviera today.

“The display will showcase 40 years of boatbuilding evolution by Riviera, highlighting six of the best Riviera motor yachts ever produced."
