MAGNIFICENT ELEVEN: RIVIERA’S MOTOR YACHT SHOWCASE AT THE 2023 SANCTUARY COVE INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW
Riviera’s magnificent showcase for the 2023 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show includes the world premiere of the outstanding new 585 SUV, plus a fabulous social and educational schedule.
Riviera is proud to display a fleet of exceptional motor yachts at the 2023 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, alongside the world premiere of the 585 SUV.
“This tremendous showcase at Sanctuary Cove is Riviera’s only boat show display in Australia for 2023, and features selected models from our 39 to 78 feet range,” says Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst. “Visitors to our display can experience the meticulous engineering, supreme luxury and ease of boating, that has earned Riviera international regard.
“This is exemplified in superbly appointed accommodation decks and skilfully designed spaces that offer fine alfresco living and entertaining, together with generous and versatile all-water sports cockpits. Boating with Riviera today really is easier, more enjoyable and relaxing,” Rodney adds.
The Riviera showcase fleet includes:
RIVIERA MOTOR YACHTS – A truly sophisticated yacht, the 78 reflects the supreme skills of Riviera’s craftspeople. She offers owners the opportunity to personalise their yacht to reflect their individual tastes, offering multiple dining, entertaining and relaxing spaces for parties, family gatherings or quieter moments.
RIVIERA SPORTS MOTOR YACHTS – The Riviera SMYs are in a league of their own offering true, long-range cruising, with new levels of luxury, design and structural superiority. Sporting looks, all-water sports cockpit and sports performance, can be experienced aboard the 72, 64 and 50 models on display.
RIVIERA SUVS – Sporty and adventurous, the SUV combines the proven, blue water hull pedigree and sporting cockpit of the lauded Riviera Sports Motor Yachts, with the single-level living features so enjoyed by Sport Yacht owners. The new 585 SUV will be on display together with the 505, 465 and 395 models.
RIVIERA SPORT YACHT PLATINUM EDITIONS – Offering sophisticated and distinctive designer styling, immense luxury and inspired performance with flowing, single-level indoor-outdoor spaces, the 6000, 5400 and new 4600 models will be on display in May.
We like to make an entrance – watch the spectacular arrival of Riviera’s magnificent fleet of 11 motor yachts at the 2023 Sancturary Cove International Boat Show. Riviera owner Rodney Longhurst was on the 585 SUV with his sons.
"To have my two sons with me, witnessing our Riviera fleet underway, was to me personally a salute to my late father and his personal philosophy that anything is possible. It was a very special moment to share a generational philosophy with my boys."

“Our showcase provides a unique opportunity to experience Riviera today – the finest yachts we have ever designed and built in Australia – in one convenient location,” Rodney says. “Motor yachts that are world class in every respect. That are so quiet and smooth, so technically superior, so luxurious and just so capable offshore in the blue water.
“Our team of more than 900 craftspeople work in an ever-expanding and more technically advanced facility, continuing to evolve the design, quality and technology of our yachts.”
RIVIERA 585 SUV – WORLD PREMIERE
The new 585 SUV is the culmination of 10 years of evolution, and the launch of more than 220 SUV yachts from 39 to 64 feet in length, since Riviera pioneered the SUV concept with the 445 model in 2012.
The Riviera design team’s clever use of space aboard this new yacht has created an exceptional design, including three large staterooms and three bathrooms, as well as a marvellous space aft of the full-beam midships master suite that can be configured as a utility room, laundry, crew quarters or additional accommodation with its own bathroom.
She offers the latest generation SUV design qualities including an expansive water sports space where the cockpit opens out to the boarding platform, a superb semi-enclosed alfresco deck and an inviting foredeck entertaining space with a comfortable, wrap-around lounge.
Her interior is rich with premium fabrics, exquisitely hand-finished exotic timber cabinetry, in-vogue lounges and plush carpet in all staterooms.
Power for the adventurous new 585 SUV is provided by twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1200s, rated at 900hp (662 kW) each, or twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350s, rated at 1000hp (735kW). Both options deliver exceptional, power-to-weight performance.
RIVIERA FESTIVAL OF BOATING
The display at Sanctuary Cove also hosts the unique Riviera Festival of Boating across three days, aboard multiple Riviera yachts and the floating Riviera owners’ lounge. Riviera owners are exclusively invited to participate in a program of boating education and training workshops – including ladies’ skippers, offshore seamanship, understanding radar, safe anchoring and mooring, preventative maintenance, navigating at night and onboard power systems management – as well as the Riviera expert’s panel open session. All programs are designed to encourage Riviera owners and their families to enjoy their ultimate boating experience with Riviera.
A number of exclusive social events also form part of the festival activities, including the Riviera owners’ ladies’ luncheon and a spectacular gala event. Registration is still open for a number of the educational workshops – owners can consult their Riviera Dealership or visit the Riviera showcase for more details.
