World Premiere The Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition - Innovation and Style

In a proudly Australian world premiere today, an enormous multi-panel Riviera emblem was rotated to reveal the Australian flag as 50 Riviera team members welcomed the newest Riviera model, the 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition at the company’s Gold Coast facility.

The team members then lined up to enthusiastically celebrate the superb new yacht as it entered the morning light.

The new 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition from Australia’s premium luxury boat builder, Riviera, is an outstanding example of innovation, luxury and inspiring spaces.

The Riviera design team, in collaboration with 4D Designs, has created a yacht with exceptional interior volume, exterior style and blue water performance.
