“A polished evolution of a highly practical design, the Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht is built for owners who value capability just as much as comfort without needing to choose between the two,” Dan Jones said.
“The Riviera 50 SMY is designed with real-world boating in mind. From the enclosed flybridge to the wide, open cockpit, every space serves a purpose, whether you’re cruising long distances or spending slow days at anchor.
“Built on Riviera’s proven hull platform and powered by Volvo Penta IPS, it delivers a ride that feels controlled and efficient. Manoeuvrability is straightforward, docking is manageable, and the overall experience leans toward ease rather than effort.
“What defines this boat is its versatility.
“It adapts to how you want to use it, owner-operated, family cruising, or light entertaining, without feeling like you’re compromising in any one area. The layout is logical, the finishes are refined without being excessive, and everything onboard feels intentional.
“The Riviera 50 SMY isn’t about chasing attention, it’s about delivering a boating experience that’s consistent, capable, and genuinely enjoyable over time.”
