Riviera will present its most comprehensive boat show display for 2021 at Sanctuary Cove featuring the boat show premiere of the new 645 SUV.
The Riviera showcase features a significant number of models from across Riviera’s award-winning range of Sports Motor Yachts, SUVs, Flybridge and Sport Yachts which now number 22 individual models in total from 39 to 72 feet. All of the motor yachts on display share Riviera’s acclaimed quality engineering, design excellence and handcrafted luxurious finishes.
The show will provide boating enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to be among the first to step aboard the exceptional new Riviera 645 SUV, the outstanding flagship of the sporty and adventurous SUV six-model collection of motor yachts.
The 645 SUV will be accompanied at this year’s boat show by her sisterships the 575, 505 and 445 SUVs, as well as the luxurious and long-range 72, 64 and 50 Sports Motor Yachts, the stylish and sophisticated 6000, 5400, and 4800 Sport Yacht Platinum Editions, and the blue-water heritage 57 Enclosed Flybridge.
Riviera’s display will also play host to the ninth Riviera Festival of Boating where Riviera owners can participate in a program of boating educational and training events, including ladies’ skippers, mastering knots lines and hitches, offshore seamanship, understanding radar, navigating at night and onboard power systems management, all designed to encourage Riviera owners and their families to enjoy their boating to the fullest.
A number of exclusive social events also form part of the festival activities, including the Riviera owners’ ladies’ luncheon and at night the Riviera Owners Party aboard The YOT Club, a floating superyacht entertainment hub that will be the social heart of this year’s Riviera display.
“We’re proud to announce that Sanctuary Cove this year will be home to our largest display of Riviera motor yachts in Australia for 2021,” said Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst.
“Our showcase will provide a unique opportunity to fully appreciate the superior quality, practicality and luxury across our full range of models all in one convenient location and for visitors to experience the advances in design, performance and interior finishes that have made the Rivieras of today the finest yachts we have built.”
The Riviera 645 SUV delivers a luxurious SUV motor yacht in a grand design offering longer-range offshore cruising, premium comfort and luxury accommodation, while enhancing the superb indoor-outdoor lifestyle features that make the SUV models so practical and popular.
The 645 SUV has the choice of three or four staterooms, three bathrooms and a utility, crew or additional accommodation aft. In addition, there is a superb alfresco entertaining and dining deck, gourmet galley with island bench, a side saloon door leading to generous walk-around side decks, and a foredeck that is a further, lavish entertainment hub.
A choice of Twin MAN V8 1300 (956 kW) or MAN V12 1550 (1,140 kW) common rail marine diesels has been selected for the 645 SUV power options that offer exceptional power-to-weight performance. The 1550’s will deliver cruise speed of 30 knots and wide-open throttle around 34 knots.
“Over the past 41 years Riviera has evolved into a world-class builder of luxury motor yachts which today can be found cruising in the Americas, Europe, Asia and the South Pacific. Through this time, we have launched over 5,650 motor yachts and, as a result, we have built a global reputation for creating motor yachts of distinction. This international acclaim is a source of great pride for the more than 600 people who are involved in the building of every new yacht knowing that the Riviera motor yachts of today are built to deliver the ultimate boating experience for our boat owners.”
“Our team are looking forward to presenting our premiere model among a truly outstanding line-up of Riviera luxury motor yachts on H Arm at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show this year and we look forward to welcoming visitors aboard,” said Mr Longhurst.
