2011 - 61 ENCLOSED FLYBRIDGE SII

When Riviera launched the 61 Enclosed Flybridge in 2008, she set a new standard in luxury appointment and fit-out. Everything, from the cockpit mezzanine with a luxurious lounge to the galley with its granite bench tops and top-of-the-range Miele appliances, stated that this was a flagship model of considerable quality. She offered her owners three or four-cabin accommodation and three bathrooms, including a port side midships master stateroom with transverse queen bed, large cedar-lined hanging lockers and en-suitenb athroom. The VIP guest stateroom was forward, also providing cedar lined hanging lockers and en-suite. The three-cabin option used additional space to provide a lounge area in the forward stateroom.

The starboard side of the accommodation deck included a single berth and, in the four cabin version, a cabin with pullman-style bunks. A third bathroom was shared between the two smaller cabins and utilised as a day head. The spacious main saloon offered a dinette opposite the large U-shape galley forward and a leather L-shape lounge with coffee table aft. The flybridge, too, exuded luxury. A timber internal staircase led to a space nearly as large as the saloon with a curved lounge aft opposite a wet bar. Leather helm and companion chairs faced a wrap-around helm station. A mezzanine deck aft was accessed via a stainless steel framed glass door and an awning window opened the interior to the deck that included a lounge and a second helm station.

The boating media were impressed. Go Boating described her as “bold and impressive” and “one of the most liveable cruisers yet built”. Modern Boating’s reviewer mused “if only Riv would lend it to me for a year’s voyage”.

The 61 Enclosed Flybridge was powered by standard twin Caterpillar C18 turbo diesel engines rated to 1,015 hp each. Over two years of production, Riviera built three of the 61 Enclosed Flybridge – Series II.
