Riviera 78 Motor Yacht – Premiere
The majestic Riviera 78 Motor Yacht design represents a distinguished new era for Riviera.
A truly sophisticated yacht, reflecting the supreme skills of Riviera’s craftspeople, she offers owners the opportunity to personalise their yacht to reflect their individual tastes for entertaining or relaxing; for parties, family gatherings or quieter moments, and further enhance their lifestyle.
A three-step swim platform faces two doors built into the transom. A watertight door to starboard leads to the full-height engine room and crew quarters. To port, a larger door opens to reveal a water-sports garage.
The saloon deck extends to the transom, offering plush lounges, a dining space and comprehensive barbecue unit. Wide side decks lead to a highly versatile entertainer’s foredeck.
An electric sliding door connects the saloon deck with the interior where a large, supremely equipped galley is positioned at the heart of the space. Forward are lounges with the option of a dining area.
An internal staircase leads from the main saloon to the bridge deck, available as an enclosed or open design, with its superyacht-like command centre and internal lounge. An electric sliding door leads aft to an open entertaining and dining space with a bar. A day head is optional.
The yacht includes accommodation for up to 10 adults in four luxurious staterooms, including a light-filled full-beam master amidships, plus three bathrooms. The crew quarters have external access.
Power for this magnificent new motor yacht comes from twin MAN turbo diesel engines delivering between 1,550hp (1,140kW) and 2,000hp (1,471kW) each.
Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition – Premiere
With all of the Platinum Edition luxurious features and refinements, the new 4600 Sport Yacht is a magnificent example of style and innovation.
A new design entertainer’s cockpit offers a wrap-around lounge across the transom and port side with a dining table and a barbecue unit to starboard. The airy saloon flows to the cockpit through a sliding glass door and awning window. A U-shape galley is located on the port side, aft of the helm. The plush dining space is to starboard.
She provides three staterooms and two bathrooms on the light-filled accommodation deck including a full-beam master amidships.
