Riviera is preparing to roll out the red carpet to showcase three brand-new examples of on-water excellence as part of a dazzling seven-yacht display at the largest boat show in the world – the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show – from 5-9 November 2015.

Making their Americas Premieres in Florida will be the two newest members of our true blue-water classic Riviera Flybridge collection – the 57 Enclosed and 52 Enclosed models – as well as the new presidential design of the stylish and sophisticated Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht.

And, of course, there’s a special Fort Lauderdale evening of Riviera-style celebration in store too.

Riviera 57 Enclosed Flybridge – Americas Premiere

Supremely seaworthy – the new Riviera 57 Enclosed Flybridge makes her
Americas Premiere at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

The embodiment of innovation

The three- stateroom/two-bathroom 57 Enclosed Flybridge – fully enclosed on four sides of the flybridge, with full-beam master stateroom on the accommodation level and a brand-new cockpit and mezzanine design – is a stylish and true blue-water yacht.

This is one of the first motor yachts in the world to offer the flexibility of choice between pod and shaft drive packages to suit the individual owner’s geographic requirements.

In the Americas, standard propulsion in the 57 Enclosed Flybridge is via twin IPS 1200 pod drives (662kw/900hp) with three joystick controls. There are two engine options available for this model – twin IPS 950 (533kW/725hp) pod drives (also with three joysticks) or the new CAT C12.9 (735kW/1000hp) shaft drives with bow thruster and optional Express Joystick System. All propulsion package options offer the full features of the innovative glass bridge navigation and CZone digital switching systems.

The 57 Enclosed Flybridge is the embodiment of innovation, from her fresh-thinking design to her state-of-the-art navigation systems, and right through to her final fit-out and luxuriously polished finish. Her inspiring new cockpit and mezzanine design creates an entirely new indoor/outdoor living experience that takes flybridge yacht design to another level.

The new 57 Enclosed Flybridge with twin IPS 1200s has a cruising range of approximately 379 nautical miles at 28.4 knots, depending on load and sea conditions.

Riviera 52 Enclosed Flybridge – Americas Premiere

Americas Premiere at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

The future is now

The new 52 Enclosed model, also from our supremely seaworthy Flybridge collection, is being exhibited for the first time in the Americas and is testament to our commitment to being one of the best motoryacht-builders in the world.

The 52 Enclosed features a refreshing cockpit design with fixed transom seating to enhance the alfresco lifestyle capabilities created by the large awning window and sliding salon door that places the superbly equipped galley right in the heart of the social scene. An ultramodern flybridge enclosed on three sides is a virtual sky lounge and the ultramodern helm features a range of technology that in the past might have been considered optional. Below is a luxurious three-stateroom/two-bathroom accommodation design, with the master able to be located forward or aft.

This new model – powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 950 pod drives (533kW/725hp) with D11 engines and with joysticks at the helm and in the cockpit – features an inspired new forward helm design with enough room for three 17-inch screens as well as a raft of more-subtle features from bow sprit to swim platform that enhance her onboard livability and luxury lifestyle attributes.

The 52 Enclosed Flybridge with twin IPS 950s has a cruising range of approximately 378 nautical miles at 25.3 knots, depending on load and sea conditions

Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht – Americas Premiere

The Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht – proving very popular
right around the world.

New presidential design

The new ‘presidential’ design for the supremely stylish 6000 Sport Yacht confirms her credentials as ‘the ultimate on-water entertainer’ and is further evidence of Riviera’s commitment to catering to a wide range of boating pursuits and individual styles.

The presidential design for the 6000 Sport Yacht provides an enlarged floor plan for the full-beam master stateroom, creating an even more expansive and luxurious private retreat for owners with additional storage and a casual dining and sitting area, complemented by a superior level of comfort and opulence in the master ensuite bathroom that our global family of owners have come to expect from Riviera.

In just 12 months, the Riviera 6000 Sport Yacht has proven very popular worldwide, with over 20 new models now purchased by aficionados who appreciate the clever blending of legendary blue-water performance with contemporary styling and features, including sleek hull windows and portholes, a large open cockpit with BBQ center and undercover seating and dining areas.

The salon is light and bright courtesy of dual electric sliding sunroofs and fixed skylights while, forward, is a very impressive sports-styled helm. Below is a luxurious and flexible three or four stateroom accommodation plan with three bathrooms, as well as an option for a utility room or crew cabin with direct cockpit access.

For the 6000 Sport Yacht, we have employed the revolutionary Volvo Penta propulsion system with twin IPS2 950s (533kW/725hp) pod drives and D11 engines which, in addition to two joysticks offering superior handling and maneuvering in tight quarters, also features impressive fuel efficiency, low noise levels, long cruising range and a high top-end speed.

The 6000 Sport Yacht with twin IPS 950s has a cruising range of approximately 268 nautical miles nautical miles at 26 knots, depending on load and sea conditions.

World-leader in innovation

Riviera is renowned internationally for its willingness to embrace new technology and this will certainly be on display with all our latest models at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in November.

All three models making their Americas Premieres feature a wide range of standard inclusions that, in the past, might have been considered optional, including the innovative touchscreen navigation systems which integrate seamlessly with the intuitive CZone digital switching technology embraced by Riviera and now available on every new model.

Our Fort Lauderdale display will showcase how we are striving to make boating even easier and more enjoyable for experienced boaters and also those aspiring to take the helm to enjoy the unique and truly rewarding lifestyle that only boating offers.

The Belize 54 Daybridge from Riviera – timelessly classic.

New propulsion option for Belize

The Belize 54 Daybridge, for instance, now offers owners the choice of either Cummins Zeus or Volvo Penta pod drive packages.

The Daybridge model on display in Fort Lauderdale this year has a twin IPS 950s (533kW/725hp) with D11 engines and three joysticks, with optional joystick steering whilst underway and glass bridge navigation features.

The adventure-seeking SUV range

The SUV series, as another example, is the perfect pairing of two legendary designs, each with its own formidable pedigree. The SUV design combines the high-performance, blue-water cruising and fish-raising abilities of the supremely seaworthy Riviera Flybridge with the single-level leisurely entertaining features of the very popular Sport Yacht series.

To date almost 90 sporty and adventurous SUV yachts have been built from the three-model range at our world-class Riviera facility on Australia’s Gold Coast. In fact the growing number of Riviera SUV owners around the world tell us it’s like having two boats … in one.

Riviera and Belize owners are invited to be among the first in the Americas to inspect the latest luxurious models of Riviera excellence at the marque’s stunning red-carpet, on-water showcase at C Dock at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show from 5-9 November 2015.
