Timeless elegance is captured in the new Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge models.
Riviera has previewed the new Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge, ahead of its World Premiere at the Newport International Boat Show in Rhode Island, opening 17 September 2026.
Created in response to growing international demand for the Belize range, the Belize 55 builds on the success of the acclaimed Belize 54, refining the design’s signature blend of timeless elegance, contemporary technology and bespoke craftsmanship.
Beneath a classic profile, the refined hull of the Belize 55 Daybridge provides a fine entry, keel-assisted tracking and pronounced bow chine.
With her distinctive lines and enduring proportions, Belize evokes the poise and grace of a golden era of yachting. Yet this is a thoroughly modern motor yacht—designed for owners seeking a classic aesthetic with modern capability.
According to Riviera Australia’s owner Rodney Longhurst, Belize owners are typically “highly experienced cruisers, many with a sailing background, who have reached a stage in life where decisions are made without the need for compromise.
“With the Belize 55 Sedan and Daybridge,” he said, “owners enjoy an unmatched level of personalisation. From the outset, the design allows for a rare degree of bespoke detailing, enabling each yacht to be a truly individual expression.

The Belize 55 Sedan features a large opening sunroof and fixed aft skylight, making the saloon deck bright and airy.
“And because only a limited number of Belize motor yachts are built each year, owners enjoy something genuinely rare.”

EFFORTLESS PERFORMANCE, SUBLIME RIDE
Beneath her classic profile lies a refined hull developed specifically for Volvo Penta IPS propulsion. A fine entry, keel-assisted tracking and pronounced bow chine deliver a ride that is dry, composed and quietly confident offshore—perfectly matched to the yacht’s stately exterior.
Smart boating technology and proven Riviera innovations further enhance ease of use, making the Belize 55 as pleasurable to command as she is to admire.
The foredeck of the new Belize 55 models includes a sunbed with adjustable backrests, a fold‑away table and optional shade.
DESIGNED FOR LIFE ON THE WATER
A full‑beam hydraulic swim platform creates a private beach at anchor and provides effortless access to tenders and watercraft. The watersports garage neatly stows SeaBobs, dive gear and toys—customisable to suit each owner’s cruising style.
Entertaining comes naturally. The aft deck features alfresco dining, a plush transom lounge, an electric teak table and a fully equipped transom barbecue. On the Daybridge, owners gain an additional open‑air lounge and dining space with sweeping 360‑degree views.
Open the saloon door and awning window, and the aft deck and saloon merge into one expansive living level—ideal for relaxed entertaining or sunset cocktails.
European panache and Australian practicality in the saloon deck combine to create a relaxed and welcoming space that flows out to the aft deck.
A REFINED INTERIOR SANCTUARY
Inside, Riviera designers have perfected the Belize balance of European panache and Australian practicality, using exotic timbers, premium fabrics and handcrafted cabinetry throughout.
The spacious galley is equipped with a full suite of premium appliances, while the saloon offers relaxed seating, concealed lighting and a rising LED Smart TV, allowing the space to transition from social hub to private cinema at the touch of a button.
Forward, the deck becomes a private beach club with sunbed, adjustable backrests, fold‑away table and optional shade—perfect for soaking up sun by day or stars by night.
The Belize 55 Daybridge deck offers 360-degree views and spacious comfort for guests and skipper.
COMMAND WITH CONFIDENCE
At the helm, outstanding visibility, curved safety glass and state‑of‑the‑art displays give the skipper complete command. Joystick controls are located at the lower helm, aft deck and at the Daybridge helm, delivering fingertip control in all conditions.
On the Daybridge, the upper helm mirrors the functionality of the lower station, offering commanding views and exhilarating open‑air cruising.
PRIVATE LUXURY
Accommodation spans three staterooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms. The full‑beam master suite is superb, with abundant natural light, a queen island bed, private lounge and luxurious ensuite.
The VIP stateroom forward is equally generous, while the starboard guest cabin provides twin berths—ideal for family or visiting friends. A washer/dryer option in the accommodation companionway makes the Belize 55 well suited to extended cruising.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, ASSURED OWNERSHIP
An array of smart technology is available on the Belize 55 that makes boating easier and more pleasurable including Sentinel remote monitoring, comprehensive camera systems, Starlink connectivity and optional stabilisation solutions. These innovations enhance safety, convenience and confidence both underway and at rest.
Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950s, delivering confident performance, impressive efficiency and easy access to a full‑height engine room.
As with all Riviera yachts, the Belize 55 is supported by two-year express and seven-year structural limited warranties and a five-year Volvo engines, drives and electronics limited warranty, underscoring Riviera’s commitment to long‑term ownership confidence.
