Guide to Buying a Riviera Yacht

January 30, 2019 | By: Alex Rowe , Riviera Yachts Specialist & Certified Professional Yacht Broker

Riviera Yachts is the largest and most awarded luxury yacht builder in Australia and a leader in the global marine industry. The name Riviera is synonymous around the world with quality, style, innovation, seakeeping ability and value.

Are you the market for a new or used Riviera and want to know more about the brand and their current models available? As an official sales representative for Riviera, I am very familiar with the brand and know their models inside and out.

Here’s what you need to know as you begin your search for the Riviera yacht that meets your needs:

What sets Riviera Yachts apart from other similar brands?

Riviera yachts are built in Australia where the seas are very rough, so they have been designed and built to withstand true, blue-water conditions. From a structural aspect, their design is second to none. Each Riviera yacht is built with a solid fiberglass bottom, forward watertight crash bulkheads, keels, and a fiberglass tabbed deck-to-hull joint. All of which combine to create one of the most rugged fiberglass hulls on the market today.

Riviera also embraces the latest navigational technology, with models that are equipped with joystick steering, digital switching, glass cockpit navigation, and Volvo Penta Integrated Propulsion System (IPS). Through the use of jack shafts in the pod drive installations, their models are able to maintain a balanced center of gravity and running attitude.

The interior design is also very impressive. The styling is richly contemporary, yet not faddish. The interior cabinetry is all handcrafted using real timber instead of MDF/artificial wood. In short, Riviera is designed and built to run correctly, is safe to move around on, and radiates beauty that will stand the test of time.

Riviera 78, the biggest, most expensive Riviera yet, revealed

Riviera is about to usher in a new era for the luxury motor yacht maker, revealing the riviera 78 flagship.

Riviera plans to launch its biggest and most expensive luxury motor yacht yet early next year with the reveal last night of an all-new flagship – the Riviera 78.

Described as the boat that will usher in a new era for the brand, the new model was revealed last night at the global launch of the Riviera 645 SUV at the 2021 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.

More than 17 months in development and a closely guarded secret known to few people outside of the Gold Coast luxury motor yacht maker, the new flybridge model will cost around $5.5 million in standard trim.

On release, the boat will have a high level of standard equipment including carbon-fibre stabiliser fins – the Riviera 78 will be a true long-range bluewater cruiser.

Hull No.1 will be specified for the US market and will include two 27kW gensets. The model teased last night features an enclosed flybridge, but Riviera will also offer an "open fly" version for owners who prefer the open air.

Styled by Italian superyacht designer Luca Vallebona, it features a single hull window, four staterooms, a highly user-friendly cockpit, a bow lounge, and a large flybridge that can bring the outdoors inside via large drop-down windows, a sunroof, and a glass bulkhead that folds away.

The Riviera 78 uses an extended version of the hull that sits under the smaller Riviera 68 and 72 models.

Just like other Rivieras, this will be a sports yacht that will happily stretch its legs. The standard MAN 1550s that will power it will be good for extracting between 1000 to 1500 nautical miles out of the 10,500-litre onboard fuel capacity, yet will still hit a top speed of around 28 knots when asked.

An upgrade to V12 MAN 2000s also will be available, with the Riviera 78’s top speed estimated at around 34 knots. Cruising speed for this configuration is expected to be around 26 knots.

Riviera said options for the main saloon will include dining and lounge spaces or simply acting as the grand lounge with dining focused on the aft deck which can be semi-enclosed, covered entirely by the bridge deck overhang and protected by optional clears. 

“The large U-shape galley, with twin ovens, four-burner hob, comprehensive refrigeration and storage capabilities, has been positioned as a centrepiece of the entertaining spaces,” it said.

“An internal timber staircase leads from the port side of the main saloon to the bridge deck which also offers lounge, entertaining and dining spaces. A bar is built into the aft deck and a day head is optional.

It said the highly versatile foredeck offered a number of entertaining layouts and a Euro sun awning with the option to carry a tender or jetski and davit.

“An elegant curved timber staircase from the forward end of the main saloon leads to the accommodation deck with its four staterooms and three bathrooms. 

“The full-beam master suite amidships is bathed with natural light from extended hull windows. It provides an electrically adjustable king-size bed and extended his-and-hers en-suite bathroom. 

“The VIP guest stateroom fitted with a queen double bed and also benefiting from hull windows is forward, with an en-suite bathroom. 

“The port stateroom offers the option of a double bed or twin beds that can slide together. The starboard stateroom includes two single cross-over berths. 

“A third bathroom is shared and can act as a day head.”

The ability to upsize comes as Riviera further expands its Gold Coast manufacturing plant to add a 110-metre-long laminating shed and increase its workforce by another 34 apprentices.

The 2021 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show starts today.

Riviera Launches 58 Sports Motor Yacht

• By Yachting Staff
• December 14, 2023

Australian yacht builder Riviera has launched its 58 Sports Motor Yacht, the latest model in this six-yacht series, which also includes 46 -, 50, 64- , 68- and 72-footers .

The yacht has a three-stateroom, three-head layout, making it a solid fit for extended cruising with family and friends. The staterooms are accessed via a stairway on centerline from the salon. The owners’ stateroom is full-beam with a queen-size berth, en suite head, walk-in closet and a breakfast bar.

In a press release Riviera stated, “The space aft of the master stateroom can be personalised to suit the owners’ needs; perhaps as a laundry, utility room, crew cabin, additional accommodation with a separate bathroom, or even a mini gymnasium.”

The forepeak VIP also has a queen-size berth with walkaround room as well as an en suite head. The third guest stateroom is abaft and to port with twin single berths with bedside tables. The berths slide together with the push of a button for couples. The third stateroom is across the companionway to starboard, serving as the day head.

The efficiency of the belowdecks layout is also reflected in the salon arrangement, creating several social zones.

It starts with the 58 Sports motor Yacht’s U-shaped galley aft, which is penned to easily serve guests in the salon as well as those seated at the shaded al fresco deck and in the cockpit. Open the galley window to create a seamless connection between the inside and outside spaces.

Forward and to port is an L-shaped settee, designed to let guests take in the views underway via nearly 360 degrees of glass. Abaft to starboard is a U-shaped dinette for casual meals. Directly across is the internal stairway that leads to the enclosed flybridge helm station.

The 58 Sports Motor Yacht’s aforementioned al fresco deck, which is protected from the elements via glass quarter panels, is cleverly arranged just a couple of steps up from the cockpit. This perch creates clear views aft to watch the kids swimming or to keep an eye on trolled baits when fishing for dinner. There is U-shaped seating around a high-gloss teak dining table to starboard with a settee to port.

In addition to being a formidable cruising platform, the 58 Sports Motor Yacht’s cockpit can be arranged for angling enthusiasts, diving and water sports fans, entertainment-centric cruisers or a little bit of all of it. A nearly full-beam and optional hydraulic swim platform lets owners launch and retrieve a tender or PWC.

There are two more al fresco entertainment spaces on board the 58 Sports Motor Yacht. The first is on the foredeck, where guests can enjoy an L-shaped lounge as well as seating that converts to a pad, all set around a table for meals on the hook. Just add carbon fiber poles to put up an awning for shade from the midday sun. Owners can also add a davit and stow their tender here.

The final al fresco next space is found on the after deck of the all-weather flybridge. Riviera says, “In similar style to the salon below, the flybridge opens and flows out to the aft deck. At anchor, this is a splendid private retreat or boutique entertaining area complete with wrap-around corner lounge, folding timber table, wet bar, refrigerator, sink and solid surface benchtop. To assist the skipper, the aft deck has an additional joystick control station with excellent visibility for precise docking or sport fishing.”

Forward and to port is the helm station with two hand-stitched-leather seats. According to Riviera, “The helm is state-of-the-art, featuring touchscreen navigation and operation technology…” There is also an electric sunroof and side sliding windows that enable fresh breezes.

Power for the Riviera 58 Sports Motor Yacht is a twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta IPS1350 diesels.
