Australia’s premium luxury motor yacht builder, Riviera, will proudly showcase three models on display at Europe’s leading in-water boat show, the Cannes Yachting Festival, in September.
The Riviera display will include the stylish and sophisticated 6000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition, the impressive 4800 Sport Yacht Series II Platinum Edition and the sporting, Mediterranean-inspired, Riviera 39 Open Flybridge.
Riviera owners and yachting admirers will be welcomed aboard at the Pantiero in the Vieux Port in Cannes from September 7 to September 12.
Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst says Riviera and their European dealer representatives are proud to display these superior yachts from Riviera’s expansive and diverse model collection from 39 to 78 feet, where every yacht shares a 41-year heritage of blue-water hull design.
“Riviera today offers world-class design, finish and ease of boating. These elements have made owning a Riviera yacht very desirable,” says Mr Longhurst. “This is exemplified in luxuriously appointed accommodation decks and superbly designed spaces that offer the finest Mediterranean alfresco living, entertaining and relaxing spaces. Together with smart operating systems, they make boating with Riviera even more fun and relaxing.”

Riviera Premieres and Announcements
Also available from Riviera’s Festival showcase will be detailed information regarding the two most recent innovations from Riviera: the versatile 645 SUV that launched in May and a new class of yacht, the Riviera 78 Motor Yacht that will premiere in early 2022.
The new 645 SUV is the largest and most sophisticated model in Riviera’s six-model SUV collection, offering three or four stateroom accommodation and multiple entertaining spaces.
The 78 Motor Yacht will deliver a supreme combination of family cruising, entertaining and blue-water passage-making capabilities – ideally designed for the Mediterranean environment and available in open or enclosed bridge deck designs. The ease-of-use technology so popular in the Riviera line is featured on the new 78 MY. This gives owners the choice to operate the yacht themselves or utilise crew who have their own dedicated cabin with separate access aft.

The ownership of a new Riviera motor yacht comes with the peace-of-mind offered by industry-leading systems and drives covered by Volvo Penta or MAN five-year limited warranties. Further confidence is provided by Riviera’s seven-year Structural Limited Warranty and a two-year Express Limited Warranty, covering all non-structural components.
