A Proud Heritage
Riviera has a proud heritage of launching over 6,000 yachts in more than 44 years of operation.
50 Sports Motor Yacht
Inspired by owners who wanted more, Riviera’s Sports Motor Yacht design is in a league of its own. Now you can truly indulge your passions. It’s time for adventure, to explore, entertain, unwind – for a weekend or an extended escape. And now our ultra-luxury SMY Collection gives you the choice of four exceptional models: 50, 64, 68 and 72.
Designed by 4D Designs in collaboration with the Riviera design team and built in-house to our exacting standards on Australia’s Gold Coast, the new 50 Sports Motor Yacht is a remarkable package. Offering all of the essentials you’d expect to find on a much larger yacht, including foredeck relaxation zone, walk-around side decks, all-weather alfresco mezzanine entertaining, spacious luxurious saloon with internal staircase to an enclosed air-conditioned flybridge and state-of-the-art helm. The generous three cabin/two-bathroom accommodation deck is bathed in natural light from tinted glass hull windows and features a magnificent full-beam master stateroom.
Engineering excellence matches her very sporty looks with real sports performance. The 50 SMY is available with highly efficient power twin diesel Volvo Penta IPS950 engines to deliver a smooth, quiet and efficient ride.
Finally, her wide, open cockpit enables all manner of water sports action. Owners have embraced this new and innovative design and we now have Riviera Sports Motor Yacht owners enjoying the Mediterranean, South-east Asia, the Caribbean, the South Pacific and the Whitsundays. Handcrafted in Australia to Riviera’s renowned standards, the 50 Sports Motor Yacht is a uniquely specified craft that is truly in a league of its own.
