A Proud Heritage
Riviera has a proud heritage of launching over 6,000 yachts in more than 44 years of operation.
The award-winning Riviera design group in collaboration with superyacht designer, Luca Vallebona, have created the 78 Motor Yacht, an entirely new Riviera. With more space and more luxury as well as the key attributes of Riviera: quality, strength and blue-water performance. Hence, the Riviera 78 is an ocean capable luxury motor yacht, equally comfortable entertaining of Sydney Harbour, cruising the Mediterranean, or relaxing with family on holiday in the Bahamas.
