Riviera 585 SUV – Americas Premiere

The adventurous new 585 SUV is the culmination of 10 years of evolution and the launch of more than 220 SUV yachts since Riviera pioneered the SUV concept with the 445 model in 2012.

She offers three large staterooms and three bathrooms, as well as a 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.

Entertaining spaces include a cockpit that opens out to the boarding platform to create an expansive water-sports space, a superb semi-enclosed alfresco deck and an inviting foredeck entertaining zone with a large 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) each. Both options deliver exceptional power-to-weight performance.

Riviera 46 Sports Motor Yacht – Fort Lauderdale Show Premiere

The spectacular new 46 Sports Motor Yacht offers many of the unique sports motor yacht design features including multiple entertaining spaces that range from the boarding platform to foredeck sun lounges and a generous open flybridge that can accommodate eight guests in great comfort.
